Sales Support
I have always been extremely passionate about travelling and seeing the world. I took my first flight on my 1st birthday, with all our bags packed as a family to go and live in far flung Papua New Guinea. I spent much of my childhood growing up there, with holidays in Australia and Fiji. Having lived abroad up until the age of 15, exploring the world after University was a must. In 2004, I spent six months in the Southern Hemisphere, starting in South Africa, onto Australia, then New Zealand and finishing off in South America. I really enjoy getting off the beaten track and being adventurous. My most recent trip included Canada and America, again a memorable time in this vast continent with much of my time spent living and working on a Guest Ranch.
