Staff Bios
Travel – it’s an obsession,… an addiction… and one that has led me to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas, bathe with a family of elephants in India, dance samba though the streets at Carnival, and trek the icy cliffs of lava-filled volcanos in Chile.
Some may say the ‘travel bug’ has bitten me...
My symptoms…
a) the feeling of arriving back home from overseas only to begin immediately planning your next adventure
b) an uncontrollable urge to venture to new and exotic destinations for that rush of experiencing new cultures and sights.
c) The ever-consuming thought of ‘where should I go next…?’
Unfortunately there is no cure for the travel bug. But working for G.A.P Adventures allows me to use my passion for travel to help others experience the world.
So when you are ready to plan your next great adventure, or even if you are yet to experience the thrill, I‘d love to help you discover ‘Where to next’…?
For me travel is about development and personal exploration, it’s about visiting new lands and new ways of living. Whether it be the peacefulness of a Northern Laos Hill tribe to the cultural and historic development of a grand European City, I love discovering what makes this planet so diverse. Discovering those hidden streets just around the corner off the main tourist route, finding that independent shop offering something found no where else on this planet. This is what excites me about travel and if your are in need of some advice to find that perfect adventure, whether it be a new found interest or a lifelong ambition, feel free to contact me here at GAP Adventures.
Where to travel next is the biggest dilemma in my life.
I have searched the Amazon for anacondas, roamed around the Tibetan highlands meeting nomadic tribes, witnessed a Tibetan sky burial (invited to participate in a private pray ceremony), and danced the night away on secluded sandy beaches where you don't want the night to end... even though it may be challenging to top this, for both my customers and myself, it is a challenge I embrace.
So come and meet my team, where bright ideas and adventure begin!
