Most creative experience designed?

One of the experiences I’m most proud of is our Mission Impossible series. I am really proud of the creativity behind this and the contacts we used to make this concept possible. The series has grown to include epic missions across Norway and Morocco both of which can be tailored to any type of traveller. Some exciting destinations to follow!

Number one unforgettable travel experience?

It is difficult to narrow this down to one experience, but I feel so fortunate to have lived in a remote camp deep in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. We built this camp from scratch every year, after the rains, and seeing how nature can easily reclaim an area in just a few months is very humbling. Being there before any guests, one was able to truly explore an untouched area.

Easily some of the best years of my life, waking up to the sounds of the African bush and endless streams of wild animals outside my front door. Also being able to spend time with and get to know the people of Zambia, who are so welcoming and friendly, and extremely proud of their country.

Top of your travel bucket list?

The Galapagos has always been very high on my list, as well as the Pantanal, more from a wildlife and ecological perspective but more recently I have become intrigued by Bhutan. I would love to go and learn more about the culture and people of Bhutan.
