I moved into the Turquoise family back in 2009 after completing a degree in English Literature and a stint in commercial advertising. Since then, I have been lucky enough to travel all over Africa, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The more I travel, the more places I want to see – the world is so vast, with such diverse landscapes and cultures to explore.

Travelling with Turquoise is just… special! It’s wonderful being able to help create truly memorable, and unique experiences for our guests, no matter where in the world they choose to travel to.
