My love of all things travel began in my late teens, when I was fortunate enough to spend a summer in Tanzania. Spending the summer working in wildlife conservation and education sparked a passion for exploring new places, immersing myself in different cultures and experiencing the wonderful natural world. The travel bug was officially caught!

 

Following my studies, I went backpacking through Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. Some stand out moments from this adventure were the breathtaking views from the Tongariro Crossing, diving in the Great Barrier Reef, staying with a local Fijian family and being welcomed as one of their own, completing the Ha Giang Loop and of course the exceptional food that Southeast Asia has to offer! Since then, I have enjoyed many great adventures closer to home, I often find myself trying to squeeze as many European city breaks in as possible, often spending hours researching hidden gems and unique experiences.

Combining my love of travel with a natural enthusiasm for planning led me to take the step into the travel industry, where I began as a European specialist. Now, working in the Africa team at Steppes Travel feels like a full-circle moment; being a part of creating unforgettable trips to the continent where my passion for travel first began over a decade ago.
