Why did you join the community?

To connect with fellow travel enthusiasts who share a passion for discovery and meaningful exploration. I believe in the transformative power of travel and wish to contribute to a community that values authentic experiences and cultural understanding.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Each destination holds its own unique appeal, but I am particularly drawn to places where natural beauty intersects with rich cultural heritage. Southern Africa, with its remarkable wildlife and diverse landscapes, holds a special place in my affections, as does the timeless grandeur of Europe's historic cities.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

I dream of exploring the ancient Silk Road routes, walking in the footsteps of centuries of traders and travellers across Central Asia. The thought of experiencing the cultural tapestry of Uzbekistan, the mountain kingdoms of the Himalayas, and the spiritual landscapes of Bhutan fills me with great anticipation and joy!

What was your first travel job?

I worked on Royal Carribean Cruise ships based out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale....Feels like a lifetime ago:)

What do you want to learn more about?

I wish to deepen my understanding of sustainable and responsible travel practices, ensuring that our explorations honour and preserve the destinations we visit for future generations. Additionally, I am keen to learn more about lesser-known cultural traditions and heritage sites that deserve greater recognition.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Discovery. Connection. Transformation.
