I grew up in Belgium, and over the past 25 years I’ve lived and worked across Europe in a range of roles, from running a luxury ski chalet business in St Anton Austria, to working in high-end travel sales, concierge, and hospitality in exclusive destinations.

This has given me a deep understanding of what works and doesn’t work in travel - and clarity in the finer details of how it pieces together - professionally, operationally, and effortlessly.

inspired by real experience

I’ve travelled gloabally, spending extended periods of time in South Africa and the Carribbean, South America and New Zealand, and the Scottish Hebrides and Corfu.

These experiences shape how I design travel; with an eye for style and detail, a sense of place and how it works best, and an understanding of what makes time away truly special.
