I began my love of overseas travel in 1996 when I was offered a tennis scholarship in the
USA. Since then I have travelled extensively and established myself amongst my friends as
their go-to travel adviser. Keeping my life here flexible, I still travel frequently, and my
goal is to have visited to all 7 continents, with only Africa remaining on my to-do list.
