Meet the Destinology Tailor-Made Holidays Team

My love for travel began the same way it does for most, having just finished my degree I needed an adventure! A friend and I planned a yearlong adventure around the world. China was first. The Great Wall, the Skyscrapers of Beijing, the Terracotta warriors, and the waterways of Guangzhou and Shanghai. This was my first venture into Asia and I knew I had to see more. Next was Thailand then Malaysia concluding with an overland 2 week trip finishing in Singapore. Next was Indonesia, Australia and Fiji. After almost 10 months of travelling, we were reaching the end of our adventure and the feather in the cap was South Africa. We travelled overland from Durban to Cape Town over 3 weeks and spent most nights camping! Adventure over we returned home to the UK, well and truly bitten by the travel bug I knew I had to continue…maybe adventure paused rather than over. I knew I had to continue exploring the world and had found a new passion that I wanted to share which is why I chose to become a travel concierge. To date, I have visited over 60 countries in many fashions. Private guided tour in India, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Argentina. Group tours in Australia, Burma (Myanmar) and Europe, R&R in the Maldives, Mexico, The Caribbean (St Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Bahamas and Antigua) and Mauritius, Cruises around the Mediterranean, Alaska, Caribbean, the South American Cape and Galapagos. Self-drive holidays around the USA, Motor-home holidays in Australia and Safari in South Africa, Kenya and Botswana.

I started my dream job 11 years ago and have been in the luxury travel industry ever since. I am lucky enough to have travelled to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world and have stayed in over 30 of the luxury hotels we work with, whilst fulfilling my real passion for adventure travel by seeing polar bears in the Arctic, summiting Mont Blanc and cycling my way around Cuba. I absolutely love creating unique holidays tailored to my clients and friends, offering my advice and hearing what a fabulous time they've had on their return. My expert areas are South Africa, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and the Indian Ocean.

Having a travel career spanning over 20 years, I have always been passionate about holidays. Over the years, I have visited some amazing places including New York, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Las Vegas, South Africa & the Maldives. Experiencing some incredible things - watching the sun rise over the tea plantations in Sri Lanka, swimming with turtles in the Maldives, sighting the Big 5 in South Africa.....the world really is an awe inspiring place!!

Having had a travel career spanning nearly 30 years, it is safe to say I have a passion for all things travel, but especially the memories and experiences it creates. I am lucky enough to have visited many wonderful destinations including Botswana, South Africa, the Maldives, Dubai, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Canada, New York, San Franscisco, Boston, Washington DC, many Greek Islands and Italy to name a few. This brings many memories and key highlights - from flying in a helicopter over the Okavango Delta in Botswana whilst on safari, the view from Table Mountain in Cape Town whilst drinking a glass of fizz to swimming with a wild pod of dolphins in the Maldives - all incredible experiences I will remember forever. The world is a truly remarkable place and I love to help people explore it and make their own memories that will last a lifetime!

My passion for travel started for a young age with adventurous family holidays all across Europe so after university I couldn’t wait to explore the world solo. I took a 2 year trip starting from New Zealand exploring both the Islands, mountains and Fjords extensively then working my way through the far east to include Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Once back in the UK I entered the travel industry so I could indulge further in travel and focus on providing great experiences to all my clients. Through this I have also travelled to South Africa, United Emirates, India, Alaska, Caribbean, USA and Canada. A few of my favourite experiences include spending the night on a luxury yacht in Milford sound and kayaking out to the Abel Tasman sea, taking a small charter plane from St Lucia to St Kitts and spending 2 nights on a private island surrounded by crystal blue waters and white sandy beaches and visiting the awe inspiring Glaciers in Alaska. I hope together we can also create worldwide experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

I have followed my passion and worked in Travel for 6 years now creating unique and once in a lifetime holidays to provide lasting memories and experiences. I have travelled to over 40 countries across 6 continents collecting amazing experiences such as Shark cage diving in Hawaii, Hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, Surfing with Dolphins in Byron Bay, Cruising the Fjords of Milford Sound and experiencing the field of light at Uluru. From beaches to temples and jungles to Mountains there is so much of this diverse world to explore and I love the opportunity to help others experience it!
