GROUP TRAVEL EXPERT |  ITALY SPECIALIST

Finding myself at death’s door one day wasn’t fun. Seven weeks totally paralysed in Intensive Care, kept alive by drugs and machines, wasn’t what I ordered. A further two months in a rehabilitation facility to learn how to stand, walk, and generally care for myself, wasn’t in my life’s plans either.

I quickly realised that good health can be taken from you, despite all your efforts to take good care of yourself.  Fortunately, I was gifted a return ticket and my health was restored. I knew then I had to make the most of it and get out and explore the world. Travel opened up a totally new perspective for me.

Combined with my love of writing, I delved into the world of travel writing; my first submitted article made the publication’s list of top ten stories for the year.

I discovered I could share stories about the places I visited. But this wasn't enough.

I wanted to physically enable others to travel - to immerse them in the sights, sounds, flavours and cultures of the world.

I wanted travel to change their life, just as it had mine.

It was, therefore, a no-brainer for me to study to be a Travel Consultant, to commence my own business, and be in the position to realise this purpose.

Because I know ~ money returns, health may ... but time doesn't!

You could say I’m an Italy Addict, having visited six time is five years – many of those trips travelling solo. However, working as a Travel Writer made me a compulsive sharer which is why I’m passionate about arranging and hosting small group, bespoke tours. I want others, who may not have a companion, or the confidence to explore the world on their own, to have their life enhanced through travel.  

Other countries visited include France, Greece, Malta, Switzerland, Spain, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and the USA.
