I fell in love with travel when I set off on my first solo adventure aged 18 and I haven’t really stopped exploring since. I’ve been lucky enough to visit 52 countries so far and travel to all 7 continents. My last big trip before I joined Jacada was an 8 month adventure through Latin America. I travelled overland all the way from Cuba to Patagonia. I was in awe of the incredible landscapes, fascinating culture and warm people I found in each new country and I completely fell in love with this part of the world. Since joining Jacada, I’ve been travelling to Latin America every year, continuously enriching my knowledge of the region.
My personal passions are nature, wildlife and gastronomy so my favourite trip memories vary from snorkelling with penguins in Antarctica’s icy waters to hiking through the Himalayas in Nepal to tasting my first ceviche in Peru. There is still so much of the world left for me to explore and many new experiences to have, so I plan to keep on travelling as much as possible.
My most memorable trip
Antarctica & South Georgia
Antarctica & South Georgia are two of the most beautiful and untouched places I have ever travelled to. My trip here was the deepest connection to nature I've ever felt and nothing compares to the adventure of sailing to the end of the world.
On my bucket list
Raja Ampat, Indonesia
I would love to go to Raja Ampat in Indonesia for a scuba diving trip. I love to dive and explore the underwater world and this always comes up as the best place to go. Relaxing on the beautiful isolated beaches after a day of diving would also be great.

My favourite trip
Grand Chile & Antarctica Luxury Explorer
A truly epic trip that covers so much, has so many highlights and is achievable in just 15 days. I love the variation within the trip too; lush green rolling valleys in the wine region to the stark greys, whites and blues in Antarctica. The trip ends in Torres del Paine which is probably one of the best places in Latin America for hiking so for anyone who wants an active adventure - this trip certainly ticks that box.
My favourite hotel
Whichaway Camp
Whichaway Camp in Antarctica is surrounded by frozen lakes, icefalls and glaciers. This is the most adventurous way to visit Antarctica with the option to explore iridescent ice tunnels and crystal caves, go ice climbing or abseiling and reach the geographic south pole.
Our trip was amazing. Everything was planned perfectly. Our guides were so great. They were so friendly and informative. All of our accommodations were beautiful. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on. We will definitely use Jacada Travel again.
Jacada recently arranged our family trip to the Galápagos Islands. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience to share this unique geography, culture and wildlife with our children and grandchildren. Jacada understood the needs of our 3-generation group and helped us to design an island hopping tour that was special for everyone. Accommodations were lovely and local guides…
Working with Jacada Travel was wonderful. They handled the booking of our Galapagos cruise, arranged for our personal naturalist guide, we were met at the airport as promised and they added some other unexpected nice touches to make this a truly fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Jacada planned an outstanding vacation for us! We had a lovely time!
Extremely well organized. Ours was a multi-facetted trip in 4 different locations in Chile and Boliva and, at every step of the way, everything worked like clockwork. The recommendations were thoughtful and well-tailored to our needs and the whole experience was above expectations.
