Travel broadens your horizons: it awakens your senses and fulfils a need you never knew existed.

Hello, and welcome to my page. I grew up in the birthplace of JRR Tolkien, Bloemfontein, and I am currently based in Gauteng. My travel journey truly took flight when we moved to Dubai in 2007, and I discovered just how effortless it could be to explore the world from that vibrant hub. Today, we love sharing that world with our two children and I fully understand the nuances, planning and little comforts that make travelling with kids smooth and enjoyable.

For the past 26 years I have been passionate about exceptional customer service, working in Hospitality and Tourism in roles that always put people first. I completed my degree in Tourism Management and built my career in the travel industry before joining Travel Counsellors in Dubai in 2014, and later in South Africa in 2020. This business model gives me the freedom to elevate my service, add a deeply personal touch, and truly tailor every journey to each individual or family I work with. My greatest measure of success is found in my clients’ happy moments and the lifelong memories created on their holidays.

I specialise in leisure and luxury travel, as well as corporate travel, offering a bespoke approach whether you are planning a special family escape, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure, or a seamless business trip. In 2026 alone I was fortunate enough to explore India and Vietnam, adding to a personal travel history that spans four continents. I have visited many countries, but my heart has been especially captured by Asia and her people. The Maldives remains my favourite island destination, while Vietnam has become a new love and a highlight of my more recent journeys.

If you are looking for a reliable, reputable professional to take care of your holiday investment, you are in the right place. Travel is intangible and the sheer number of options can sometimes feel overwhelming. With my experience, first‑hand knowledge and the outstanding tools and support available to me through Travel Counsellors, I can guide you to the choices that best fit your needs, style and budget, and give you the peace of mind you deserve.

I would be delighted to help you design your next journey.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
