Antarctica Almost every great trip I’ve taken has been defined by the people I met along the way. After years of exploring the Caribbean and Central America, I’ve learned that being open to conversation and interaction leads to a far deeper understanding of a place than any guidebook could ever impart. When we create your tailor made itinerary, I’ll use my network to link you with the right people on the ground.
Rum and mezcal are the golden threads that tie together my specialist regions, liquid artefacts of colonial histories and modern-day craftsmanship. I’ve followed the scent of molasses and agave through sugar fields and volcanic valleys, discovering how Guatemala produces what many consider the world’s finest rum and why Haiti’s distilleries remain my personal favourites. By sharing these passions with you, I aim to give you an intimate glimpse into the lives of the people who call these places home.
This is Colombia at its most timeless. Journey through cobbled towns, fertile valleys and cities steeped in stories from Bogota to the Caribbean coast.
Begin in the capital, exploring grand colonial churches and lively street scenes before heading to the whitewashed town of Villa de Leyva. Travel through the Coffee Region in a vintage Willys Jeep, learning about bean-to-cup traditions amidst the green folds of the Cocora Valley. Then it’s on to Cartagena, where pastel facades, literary legends and Caribbean flair come together in one UNESCO World Heritage gem.
End your adventure with a few days of island time, staying in a thatched bungalow on Isla Baru. Snorkel, swim or simply swing in a hammock for a laid-back finale to a rich and rewarding journey.
This adventure spans the breadth of Mexico, from mural-filled cities and deep desert canyons to the sunlit waters of Baja California. It’s a trailblazer’s route, rich in history, wildlife and wide-open landscapes.
Start in Mexico City, where ancient temples rub shoulders with colonial churches and contemporary art galleries. Explore the Palacio de Gobierno in Chihuahua, home to vast murals charting the country’s revolutionary past, before boarding the Chepe Express to carve through Copper Canyon. Stop in the Pueblo Magico of El Fuerte – birthplace of legends – then cross the Sea of Cortez by overnight ferry.
In Baja, swap trains for tides. Snorkel with sea lions, swim alongside whale sharks and watch for humpbacks and mobula rays breaching offshore. Round off the trip on the coast, where lazy beach days provide time to reflect on your journey.
Costa Rica often grabs the spotlight, but I’d love to pair it with Nicaragua and El Salvador: together, they offer a much deeper sense of place. Travelling through all three, you begin to see Central America as a single, living landscape, where migration, history and geography are tightly interwoven.
I’d start amongst the coffee farms and crater lakes of El Salvador, still largely untouched by mass tourism, then cross into Nicaragua for colonial cities, volcanic islands and lakefront life.
My final call would be Costa Rica’s highland cloud forests and jungle-fringed beaches, where conservation and biodiversity take centre stage. For me, it’s the combination of both contrast and continuity that makes this journey so rewarding.
A visit to the grey whale breeding lagoons on the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula turned out to be the most memorable, impressive and moving wildlife experience I’ve had to date, and I’ve rubbed shoulders with a lot of creatures. The close, gentle and even intimate nature of this encounter was completely unexpected. Colloquially known as the “Devilfish” for their reputation as fierce fighters, grey whales were hunted to near extinction in the nineteenth century. To my surprise, mothers nosed their calves to the side of our small boat.
I’m on the lower forest-clad slopes of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica. Nerves and my carabina-draped harness are jangling as I step into the ‘departure lounge’, a steel platform hovering in the trees 200 metres above the rainforest floor. SNAP! I’m now attached to a wire that slants down into a sea of green. “Pura Vida” screams the cabin crew as he pushes me into the void.
