About me

I turned my passion into a paying 'job', so I never feel as if I am working - I do what I love and I love what I do - designing travel experiences for valued guests. When I am not on the road travelling, I love reading about travelling; I enjoy cooking, especially making preserves and jams. My fur child, a Jack Russell called Thula, is the only child in the house now that 2 kids have left to find their own ways, and we love our long walks on the beach where we live and enjoy the beautiful West Coast of South Africa, where I am based for business.
