Top Of My Bucket-List

The Seychelles is at the top of my bucket-list! I am so intrigued by the wildlife, beautiful beaches and diverse culture that this small cluster of islands has to offer. From world-class spa treatments to underwater experiences, it sounds like paradise!

Favorite Safari Animal

"I would have to say the gorilla for their majesty and intelligence. I'm fascinated by their human-like behaviour, emotions and the way they socialise with each other."

Sundowner of Choice

"I'd have to choose a Cosmopolitan - I love the sweetness and the slight tang and the colour isn’t too different from the incredible sunsetting sky!"

Favorite Property

"Giraffe Manor is a firm favorite of mine! Their offering is so unique and I would absolutely love to have breakfast with the beautiful Rothschild's giraffes."

Top Travel Tip

I always pack a fresh set of clothing and toiletries in my hand luggage in the event of any delays or misplaced luggage. Never a situation I would want to happen, but I find it's always best to be prepared.

The Best Part Of My Job

I love meeting people from all walks of life and learning about their unique cultures and life experiences. I'm so glad that my job affords me the opportunity to work in such a diverse workplace.
