Get to know me
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
My philosophy has always been simple: the answer is "yes", and I'll work out the details later. For more than three decades, I've been personally available whenever my clients need me - whether by phone, WhatsApp or email, even when I'm travelling myself. I don't believe in handing clients over to an after-hours service. They know they're speaking directly with me, someone who understands their journey, anticipates their needs and is there every step of the way.
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
It's impossible to choose just one. One of the most rewarding was coordinating the travel for more than 2,000 performers, musicians and crew for the 2018 Commonwealth Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies, bringing people and equipment from around the world to the Gold Coast within an incredibly tight timeframe. On a more personal level, I loved creating annual Royal Ascot journeys, flying clients First Class to London, arranging stays at 45 Park Lane, securing coveted restaurant reservations, private millinery appointments and adding thoughtful touches to each suite before they arrived. It's those details that transform a trip into something truly unforgettable.
What is your number one travel tip?
Take photos of everything you pack before you leave home, including the contents of your suitcase. If your luggage is ever delayed or lost, it makes insurance claims far simpler. And if you're travelling to polar regions or other cold climates, keep your spare camera battery somewhere warm - it can make all the difference when you're trying to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
What is your favourite travel memory?
There have been many unforgettable moments, but one that will stay with me forever was visiting Bhutan. While exploring Tiger's Nest Monastery, I found myself alone when the head monk emerged, invited me to sit beside him and gave me a personal blessing. It was an incredibly humbling experience that perfectly captured the warmth, spirituality and deep respect for nature that make Bhutan one of my favourite places in the world.
