About Me

Family Photo - Zambezi River, Zimbabwe
Family Photo - Zambezi River, Zimbabwe

An explorer at heart fueled by an insatiable curiosity about the world and most especially the incredible nature and wildlife we have all around us. I am always excited to see beautiful wildlife and birds while being surrounded by nature. 

Having traveled extensively (6 Continents) I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with you to create incredible travel experiences for the adventurer in you!

We are best to work with if you enjoy finding yourself off the tourist trail, engaging with locals, being in nature, participating in local projects like tree planting or coral replanting. You love to see the significant sites along with lesser known places and your travel inspiration does not come from taking the best selfie!

I have an extensive network of trusted suppliers in our key destinations of South America, Middle East, and Africa. Together we will create an adventure worthy of your dreams while respecting your time constraints and desired budget.

Adventurer Style

When thinking about adventure travel some people envision climbing Mount Everest, Bungee Jumping, or Volcano Boarding (yes, it's a thing!). While others (like me) think of Exotic Places, Safaris (of course), Hiking, Cycling, even Jet Boating (I recommend!). Truth is, adventure travel can be many things and doesn't have to involve life threatening, heart stopping activities! (though it can if you want!) ?? 

Traveling with us you will be active and involved in the community we are visiting. You might be on walking tours, hiking, kayaking, birding, white water rafting, on safari, ziplining, snorkeling, or cycling among seemingly endless possibilities.
