What do you love most about Africa?
It’s beauty at every turn. You don’t have to venture far to find somewhere magnificent to make a memory- It’s an experience. From the beaches to the safaris and the hidden gems you find in between. Any experience can turn out to be beyond special. Its stunning, dramatic and untamed, filled with culture, diversity and uniqueness.
Where are you heading in 2021? What adventures await you?
ANYWHERE… I would like to explore the outskirts of the Western Cape more and embrace local travel. There are so many affordable, mind-blowing accommodation options and experiences to have in these areas. It would be a shame to be living so close and never take full advantage of it.
What is your favourite thing about being part of the tourism industry?
The beauty of all places we get to see, the people we come into contact with, the passion this industry shares and the resilience we have as an industry.
