Donna Piccini
North Africa & Arabia Specialist
01993 838 419
Expertise:
Morocco, Egypt, Libya
Donna is another of our ex-tour leaders who has spent a considerable amount of time on the ground in the Middle East. Her knowledge of what to see and do is, thus, encyclopaedic and she is able to give an honest assessment of the region's attractions. Having tried her hand at a job outside travel, helping her Mum set up a dog-walking company, Donna decided she wanted to get back into the industry and we were more than happy to take her. She regularly spends time in Egypt, Morocco and Libya meeting the guides we work with, inspecting the hotels and revisiting the many remarkable sights. Highlights of her recent travels include exploring the desert scenery of the Jebel Akakus in Libya.
Megan Shaw
Morocco Specialist
01993 838 427
Expertise:
Morocco
Megan's enthusiasm for travel was first sparked by a college field trip to Morocco in 2001. Since this experience, she has taken every opportunity to explore the world at length while studying for her Law degree at Exeter University. After graduating, Megan realised that travel was her passion, and sought a career within the industry. She has been fortunate enough to visit Morocco extensively over the past year with Audley, fuelling her love for the region and people. These most recent trips have further enhanced her wide knowledge of the culture, sights and beautiful riads Morocco has to offer. When not working, Megan enjoys foreign cinema, swimming and snowboarding.
Natalie Humphries
North Africa & Arabia Specialist
01993 838 422
Expertise:
Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt
Natalie first started in the travel industry nine years ago working for a small tour operator specialising solely in Morocco, where she arranged tailor made holidays, fashion shoots, marathons and even some weddings! During her time there she was able to travel extensively in Morocco, so she brings with her a great enthusiasm for this fascinating country. Natalie has relocated to Oxford to join our North Africa & Arabia team as a Morocco Specialist and travels there regularly so that she can keep her knowledge on the hotels, guides and sights up-to-date. When not working or travelling, Natalie enjoys learning to ballroom and Latin dance, practising yoga and is very keen to learn how to scuba dive.
