MY STORY
Whether you’ve known me from the early days of what was my very shy childhood, or we haven’t met yet, I can assure you I was not always a confident globe-trotter. That changed in 2013 when I got my first passport and decided to study in South Africa for a whole year. I was full of nerves, excitement, and a deep courage I wasn’t aware of. I didn’t know it yet, but this would be the single most important leap of my life. Just 365 days later I was deeply changed and ready to explore the rest of the world with every spare moment and penny earned.
Ten years later I have traveled (mostly solo) to over 30 countries, worked in four different countries, and been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. My adventures have taken me from the outback of Australia to remote islands off the coast of Africa, from the chaotic streets of India to the serenity of Bali, from hiking the Swiss Alps to bushwalking in Botswana, and so many unforgettable places in between.
With a strong background in both hospitality and tourism, I know how to manage time, people, and crises. I’ve had the privilege of planning trips for and with friends on five continents, including the first small group trip to South Africa that I led in 2016. My organizational skills are coupled with my deep desire for improvisation and embracing serendipity, allowing the magic of travel to unfold while leaping feet-first into experiences.
