How we’ll plan your trip

  1. Speak to a Global Travel Advisor

    You might have strong opinions on what your trip should entail, or just loose ideas, but we can help you develop them. Speak to one of our Global Travel Advisors, and we’ll advise you on the best destinations, depending on your interests and criteria.

  2. Refine your choice from our ideas

    After your conversation, your specialist will send you an assortment of brochures and example itineraries to give you inspiration for where to travel and what your trip could involve.

  3. Put you in touch with a destination expert

    Once you have fixed on where you want to go, we’ll put you into the hands of a specialist who focuses on your chosen destination. Already briefed on your preferences, he or she will create your bespoke trip, drawing from extensive first-hand experience.

Who we are

Collectively, we’ve worked with lions in South Africa, trekked Costa Rica’s jungles, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef, and cycled around the Temples of Angkor.

Living abroad as a child ignited my love for travel and I was lucky enough to visit some incredible places including China and India. I later chose to study business and Spanish at the University of Nottingham as it allowed me to spend a year abroad in South America. Living and working in Buenos Aires was an unforgettable experience and when finished there, I spent a further nine months exploring the rest of South America which gave me an opportunity to really get to know the continent and its diverse people, cultures and landscapes. Having caught the travel bug, I left for another year of travels after graduating. This time, I lived in Australia and then journeyed through Southeast Asia, visiting seven different countries in as many months. Now in the Global Travel Team at Audley, I love sharing my passion for travel and helping to plan memorable travel experiences for others.

Travelling has always been a huge part of my life. My mum would take every opportunity to take us all away as a family, so luckily, exploring new places has been the norm for me since I was small. After graduating from university, I eagerly packed my bags to embark on my year-long travels to Australia, New Zealand and parts of Southeast Asia. I quickly discovered that I am happiest when travelling and when that isn't possible, talking about travel at work. Working in the Global Travel Team enables me to do just that, by helping clients decide where they should explore next based on their own interests. Since taking my gap year, I have explored many other places such as Sri Lanka, South Africa, the USA and Italy, enabling me to speak generally and advise on many different wonderful parts of the world with clients at Audley.

I have always had a huge passion for exploring the world and this began during my education when studying geography as well as travel and tourism. Unfortunately, like many of us, my travelling plans were interrupted due to Covid-19. However, I have been lucky enough to explore many places around Europe, such as Rome, Barcelona, Mykonos, Amsterdam, Budapest, Sorrento, Paris, Belgium, Cyprus, Turkey and many more. I have recently spent my summer exploring various parts of Italy, including Milan, Lake Como, Lake Garda, Venice, Rome, Verona, Positano, Sorrento and Naples… it is safe to say I fell in love with this beautiful country. From taking a tour of the colosseum and pasta cooking classes in Rome to boat tripping around the Amalfi Coast, this was certainly a fun filled trip full of different kinds of experiences. Planning trips is something I am constantly dreaming into the future about. Being part of the concierge team allows me to express my love for travel and share my experiences.

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel the world since I was eight years old. Since then I have visited 31 countries and have lived in 7 different countries including India, Australia, Portugal, and Switzerland. I enjoy going more off the beaten track and delving deep into the local culture. Having had so much travelling experience myself, I am now happy to pass that passion along to other people.

I was lucky enough to grow up around travel, and experience some amazing places, from Brazil to Egypt to Thailand. Travel is my passion and I’m always dreaming of my next trip. After travelling around so many different countries with my family, once I was old enough I started to plan my own trips. I worked in Paris during my school holidays, where I practised speaking French for my upcoming French A-Level. I also worked in a small school in Kenya, in a village just off the coast called Mwabungu during university. After having so many incredible experiences, I am looking forward to helping other people plan their perfect trips.

From the moment I set out on an overland expedition from the UK to Tanzania in 1991, I decided to make travel my life’s passion. On return, I left my career in the City and moved to Athens where I worked in the head office of a major tour operator working throughout Greece and the islands with occasional assignments to Portugal and Kenya and holidays in Egypt and Sri Lanka. I returned to the UK in 1995 and continued to explore with family and friends: on safari in southern Africa, cultural excursions in Malaysia and adventures across the USA and Canada. In 1998 my travel soul settled on Australia and New Zealand and my enthusiasm for the region eventually led me to Audley Travel where I specialised in the South Pacific region for 18 years. I was excited, recently, to join the Global Travel Team and look forward to helping our clients explore the world as I have been privileged to do.

I grew up in South Africa and developed a love of the country as a child. While living in Johannesburg and enjoying family holidays in Kruger National Park, Cape Town, Mpumalanga and many more of South Africa’s incredible places, I soon learned that it really is a world in one country. We later left South Africa but returned frequently, and I chose to return during my year out. I was based on a reserve working with anti-poaching projects, local communities and learning about the wildlife. It is where my passion for travel and adventure was cemented and during that year that I also visited Paris, Thailand and Bali. Once I began working, I saved to explore the world further taking every opportunity to travel and visiting everywhere from Iceland to Sri Lanka, Turkey and the Philippines as well as return visits to some of my most treasured spots.

Growing up in Poland, I always looked forward to the arrival of summer holidays, as they meant embarking on thrilling adventures across Europe with my mother. My highlights are our visits to captivating destinations such as Italy, Greece, and the Balkans. In 2016, I came to the United Kingdom to pursue my passion for filmmaking, enrolling in a film programme in Wales. Following my second year of studies, I embarked on a journey to Canada and the United States, to promote a script I had written. However, I fell in love with both countries, and I ended up taking a gap year. Upon my return, having completed my studies, I embarked on extensive travels throughout the UK. Eventually, I found myself drawn to London, where I have chosen to settle and pursue my greatest passion: travel. In my free time, I'm an avid football enthusiast, sushi lover, and a dedicated cat lover. When I'm not cheering for my favourite football team, you'll likely find me trying out new sushi rolls or spending quality time with my most adorable furry, cat friend, Drizzle.

I grew up with parents who always seemed to be travelling. As a child I was lucky enough to visit some incredible places including Belize, Namibia and Laos. Recently, I spent five months exploring Southeast Asia, where I visited Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Bali and some of the Indonesian islands. This is where my true passion for travel began. Each day in every country was so different: the food, the people, the landscapes, plus all the varied things you can do. Over the last two years I have been fortunate to travel in Europe. I have visited Budapest, Paris, Sorrento and Lisbon — and while the culture is less marked than in Asia — each place has its own style and way of life, which has been a privilege to experience. Travel plays a huge part in my life. I feel so lucky to be part of the Concierge team and to be able to share my experiences and love of travel with everyone else.

I grew up in a small farm town in South Africa and always dreamed of big adventures. I was fortunate enough to see much of the country as a child and fell in love with the wilderness and wildlife. After finishing high school, I moved to London and swapped the wilderness for the urban jungle. Over the next few years I travelled to Southeast Asia, Central America, and Indonesia. In 2016, I decided to explore the Southern Hemisphere, so I quit my job, sold most of my belongings, and spent two years living in Australia and then three years in New Zealand. I spent much of that time exploring extensively both counties, particularly the wine regions. I moved back to London in 2022 and have now started a new adventure with Audley in the Concierge team.

While studying for a BSc in Environmental Biology, I became absolutely fascinated by rainforest conservation and decided to apply for a 3-month volunteer programme in remote Indonesian Borneo. While there, I helped with the programme’s conservation efforts and carried out research for my dissertation. My time spent here was transformative; being immersed in a culture and way of life so different to my own, and being surrounded by Borneo’s wildlife on a daily basis was a truly captivating experience. This led me to spend many of my subsequent years living overseas in Southeast Asia and Australia, where I decided to pursue a career in travel. After over a decade in the industry, I have been very fortunate to see many corners of the globe, and love nothing more than sharing my passion for travel with Audley clients and helping them find the perfect destination for their next adventure.

There has always been that part of me that has had a passion for travel ever since I was young. I can’t remember a year in my life where I haven’t been to Europe; it feels like I’m returning home every time I visit, especially Greece. In 2015 I visited Peru. That trip is potentially why I am where I am today. I enjoyed meeting with the locals, immersing myself in the culture, learning about the different ways of life and enjoying local delicacies. When I returned home I was about to start secondary school and I knew from that point I wanted to study travel and tourism for my GCSE’s. This made me realise I could have a career in travel. I then embarked on a two-year college programme devoted to deepening my knowledge in this field, an endeavour that I adore wholeheartedly.

Travelling has been a life-long passion of mine. Ever since I planned a family trip around the world at the age of 15, I’ve been hooked. Whether it’s island hopping in the Caribbean, seeing the northern lights at the Polar Circle, going river rafting in Costa Rica, watching the penguins parade at sunset at Philip Island, or staying at an old monastery with its own vineyard in Sicily, I love going to unique places and creating lasting memories for both myself and others. I have three children and for the past ten years we’ve explored Australia, USA, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Europe together. One of our best adventures was when we spent seven weeks travelling in New England, Florida, the Caribbean, and Bahamas together. Originally, I was born in Denmark and studied in Copenhagen and Uppsala in Sweden. Before joining Audley, I worked for more than ten years in marketing.

I caught the travel bug after interrailing across Europe before university, and since then I’ve continued to travel whenever possible. After graduating, I embarked on a round-the-world trip which included trekking through tribal villages in Northern Thailand, climbing the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand and learning to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. On returning to the UK, I began working for an international publisher, which enabled me to travel extensively throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. I’ve always been passionate about the natural world and on all my travels I like to see as much wildlife as I can and experience different habitats alongside the more cultural elements. My love of wildlife led me to begin working for a wildlife tour specialist, then eventually beginning my career at Audley almost ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have explored some far-flung corners of the globe, including most of Southeast Asia, India, Namibia, and Peru. These trips have brought unforgettable memories and experiences that I now hope to share with others. For seven years I worked within the Southeast Asia team as an Indochina, Malaysia, and Borneo specialist. Now in the Global Travel Team, I'm excited to talk about the whole world while helping Audley clients find the perfect destination for their next adventure.
