The travel industry is now a way of life for me and something I have been lucky to be a part of for 24 years. During this time have extensively travelled throughout Canada, South-east Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica. I have also been lucky enough to experience an Arctic Voyage, in Svalbard, which was an absolute travel highlight!

Fiordland penguins encountered
Wildlife is a huge passion for me, and I have encountered a huge variety! From grizzly bears and wolves, in Canada, kangaroos and koalas in Australia to sloths, tapir and toucans in Costa Rica! However, seeing orcas and Hector dolphins in New Zealand, with my young daughter, was truly a lasting memory for both of us.
