ABOUT ME

At just six years old, I had already lived in four different places across two countries. It’s as if the world was always calling me, and I was destined to answer. When I was 17, I made a pact with my mother: get your degree, and you’ll earn a ticket to South Africa. It wasn’t just a promise—it was my obsession. I completed my studies with one vision in mind: to discover what South Africa had in store for me.

What I didn’t know then was that buying that one-way ticket would set me on a journey that would last 20 years and counting. That flight became my gateway to a world of exploration, adventure, and lifelong learning. And I’ve been on the road ever since.

For me, travel is more than just a way to see the world—it’s a way to live it. And it’s my mission to share that with you

ABOUT ME

To me travelling is like breathing. I was 6 years old and I had lived in 4 different places , 2 different countries. I guess it was meant to be. As soon as I got my high school degree, I made a deal with my mum : get your degree and you get to travel to South Africa for a year. That was my only obsession, so I got my degree only imagining what this country was like, what it had for me. I had no idea that taking that flight , was a no-return ticket. a trip lasting for 20 years, and I’m still on the road.

With over 10 years of experience at Backroads, I decided to venture out on my own to add a personal touch to what I offer daily: a sense of adventure, exploration of foreign lands, physical activities, and unique and luxurious culinary, hotel, and local experiences
