I have always loved travel from a young age exploring on family holidays and solo backpacking as I got older. My first taste of Africa was volunteering in Ghana which opened my eyes to different cultures, people and wildlife. This started my career in travel and I have been a specialist for around 7 years. For me nothing beats the feeling of landing in a new country.
Following my trip to Ghana volunteering, I started travelling more frequently, first exploring Asia and then heading back to Africa which has my heart. I love wildlife and beautiful landscapes, along with learning about new people and cultures. Africa has all of this and more, the first time I saw a leopard in the wild has stayed with me ever since. Growing up in Cornwall I also love being outside and travelling allows me to trek, explore and end the day by a camp fire (usually with a glass of wine) I am excited to visit Botswana one day, viewing wildlife from the water is such a different view point and some of the camps look incredible. Zambia is also high on my bucket list, with someone of the best guides in the world it will be an adrenaline rush to head out on foot on one of their famed walking safaris. Travel has opened my eyes to places I never thought I would get the chance to visit, from private islands in Madagascar to vineyards in South Africa and the beautiful views into the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. I cant wait to see where it take me next and love sharing this with guests.
