Born in Cape Town and raised in the picturesque town of Swellendam, I bring a diverse background in travel operations, marketing, client relations, and customer experience to the Martha Rhodes Travel team. With professional experience spanning luxury hospitality, digital marketing, and adventure travel, I am passionate about creating seamless, detail-driven experiences for our clients and supporting the collaborative process behind every personalized journey.
My love for travel has taken me from cycling through the colourful villages, tea estates, and spice plantations of India to exploring the vibrant streets of Moscow, relaxing in Mauritius, and spending time discovering the history, culture, and energy of London. My journeys are driven by a love of meaningful experiences, meeting new people, and discovering both iconic and lesser-known places along the way.
Outside of work, I am passionate about animal welfare and have been involved in various volunteer and fundraising initiatives supporting local shelters and community organizations. I enjoy reading, hiking, discovering historic towns and cities, and traveling with my fiancé — a chef I consider myself very lucky to have at home!
