I got into cultural travel when I did a semester of university in Kenya and Uganda. I fell in love with Africa from that point on, and switched my career from social anthropology to travel. My favourite memories are visiting villages and schools. I have been to villages where the kids had never seen a white person before, and they kept trying to rub the white off my arm so the black would show through. I got to experience the bull jumping ceremony of the Hammer people in Ethiopia, and went through a marriage ceremony with a Maasai Warrior (I have a feeling he didn’t take it too serious because I haven’t heard from him since). I absolutely love the warmth and beauty of the people of Africa, and whenever I step off the plane I feel like I am home. My absolute passion is Africa, but I have been very lucky to be able to sell Asia as well, and recently visited Vietnam. What a magnificent country with the beauty of Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, and Hanoi. I loved sailing on a junk boat in Ha Long Bay doing sunrise Tai Chi from the deck, and travelling down the Mekong Delta watching the locals along the riverbank go about their daily life. A beautiful culture and stunningly beautiful country. I can’t wait to explore more of Asia.

Ethiopia
Africa & Middle East
Immediately I was in awe of the beauty of the Karo people in the Oma Valley. So welcoming and willing to show me how they live. Some were covered in white "paint" with designs carved into them, while others had colourful beads, hides, and ornaments all over their body.

Samburu
Africa & Middle East
I absolutely love the quietness of Samburu National Park and the Samburu people. Visiting their village and school with my boys is one of my favorite memories. A camel ride along the river at sunrise is a must.

La Digue
Africa & Middle East
La Digue is my favorite island in the Seychelles because it is so peaceful with gorgeous beaches. There are no cars and you get around by ox cart or bike, making it a magical destination.
