“Although I was originally born and raised in South Africa, London has been my home for over three decades. It’s here that I’ve built a life, laid down roots, and raised my three children, watching them grow and thrive in one of the world’s most vibrant and diverse cities.”

My professional journey began in finance before I transitioned into property, managing a portfolio of successful Airbnb rentals, including my own home. Travel has always been at the heart of my life and this flexible lifestyle allows me to travel extensively, often while my properties are let.

I grew up on a horse farm and began exploring Africa on horseback in my early twenties, with unforgettable safaris in Kenya and Botswana. Since then, I’ve ridden through the wilds of Wyoming, the hills of Andalucía, and returned to South Africa many times, organising everything from a 50-person safari to intimate, tailored journeys through the winelands for close friends.

Turning my lifelong passion for travel into a profession has felt like a natural evolution. With more time and experience, I now specialise in crafting immersive, adventurous itineraries for families, friends and small groups. Blending wild, remote destinations with comfort, character, and a touch of magic.
My aim is always to create journeys that feel deeply personal, memorable, and just a little extraordinary.
