More about me
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and raised in a family that's deeply passionate about travel, nature, palaeontology, camping and Land Rover Defenders, I spent every possible moment in the surrounding African bushveld growing up.
After graduating from college, I went into the world of PR and marketing and then, later down the line, was drawn into the African luxury tourism industry where I discovered my passion for customer support.
Having been bit by the travel bug, I travelled through Africa extensively and further abroad overseas, on a mission to see as many countries as possible.

My top 5 Antarctic experiences
- Entering Melchoir Bay and seeing enormous icebergs – some the size of small mountains – for the first time. Their sheer scale took my breath away.
- Waking up to watch snow falling outside my cabin balcony window. As an African who had never witnessed this sight before, it was incredible – the snowflakes were so big and fluffy, floating and twirling in the breeze.
- Hearing and seeing both an iceberg and glacier calving. It was like the sound of rumbling thunder in the distance!
- Glimpsing a leopard seal in real life, not once but twice. They’re sleek and formidable at the same time.
- Sailing through the famous Lemaire Channel with clear weather. It was, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
