My favourite destination to visit is:

Mauritius – I actually got married there and I can thoroughly recommend it as a destination for a wedding and honeymoon. We have been twice now and have some wonderful memories.  Beautiful hotels, beaches, people and scenery.

My favourite ship/train/tour is:

I’ve been lucky enough to see and sail on a few luxury ships, but one of my favourites is The Greg Mortimer Expedition Ship, with Aurora Expeditions.  It is something so totally different from mainstream cruising, but still retains the luxury of beautiful cabins and wonderful dining.

My travel bucket list contains:

South America, Japan and Croatia.

My expertise include:

Tailor-Made Holidays and Cruise itineraries.

Plus more that I can’t quite remember …..
