"I designed a festive family journey to São Tomé and Príncipe. The family wanted somewhere completely off the radar, so I crafted an itinerary that took them to the most pristine parts of the islands. The highlight was creating a private camp for them on New Year’s Eve, set up in an incredibly remote spot overlooking an untouched beach. With freshly prepared food, including the fish they had caught that day, and no one else for miles, it was the ultimate way to welcome the New Year - and a perfect example of how we can push boundaries at Pelorus."
