My passion for travel began at a young age when I received a world globe for my seventh birthday. I would spend hours spinning it, memorizing world capitals, and imagining the incredible destinations I hoped to visit one day. With a picture atlas in hand—long before the days of Google Maps—I developed a deep curiosity for the world that has shaped my career ever since.

Originally from Southern Africa, my journey has taken me across multiple continents. I have worked on Rhine river cruises, backpacked through South America, and served as a German and Dutch translator, selling shore excursions for Carnival Cruise Lines in the Caribbean—where I also met my husband. My travels and professional experiences have led me across North America and, ultimately, to Chesterfield, where I have now settled.
Throughout my career, customer service has been at the heart of everything I do. From hospitality and tourism to sales and translation, ensuring customer satisfaction has always been my top priority. I take great pride in delivering outstanding service, building strong relationships, and creating experiences that exceed expectations.

As a family, we have embraced travel as a way of life. From camping across the UK and France to exploring Europe, South Africa, the United States, and Morocco, we have sought out new adventures wherever possible. Cruising has taken us through the Mediterranean, Norway, and the Caribbean, while our passion for scuba diving has led us to remarkable underwater destinations in Turkey, Australia, and, most recently, Thailand—a long-awaited bucket list experience. More recently, we have ventured into sailing, discovering the Mediterranean from a yacht, adding yet another dimension to our love for exploration.

Beyond personal travel, I am passionate about using travel for a greater cause. In 2023 and 2024, I participated in charity banger rallies across Europe, raising funds for a local charity. These journeys combined adventure with philanthropy, proving that travel can be both exhilarating and deeply meaningful.

Joining Travel Counsellors feels like a natural progression—a full-circle moment where I can combine my extensive travel knowledge with my dedication to exceptional customer service. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I have access to an extensive network of award-winning suppliers, enabling me to create bespoke travel experiences tailored to every client’s needs. Whether you are dreaming of a long-haul adventure, a multi-destination itinerary, a luxury cruise, a ski trip, a safari, or a relaxing all-inclusive getaway, I am committed to crafting the perfect trip for you.
I understand the value of a well-planned holiday, and my role is to ensure a seamless experience from the initial inquiry to your safe return home. The same globe that first inspired my love of travel still sits in my home today—and now, I look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable journey.
