There are too many highlights to choose just one—and that’s the beauty of a tailor-made trip. What makes an experience memorable is entirely unique to each traveller. For an active couple, it was a multi-sport adventure in Peru, combining off-the-beaten-path Andean treks with mountain biking, kayaking, and rafting through lesser-known Inca ruins and authentic local communities. In contrast, for a history-loving family, it was being guided through Guatemala by a renowned Maya expert who flew in from his university post abroad just to guide them. Their trip included a private helicopter flight to a newly discovered rainforest site that is closed to the public and currently being excavated by the guide himself. For another couple, it was a seamless itinerary through Argentina and Chile, staying at remote, high-end lodges that showcased the very best of Patagonia: a vast, untouched wilderness enjoyed with exceptional comfort, food, and guiding — the best of all worlds!

Passion and experience. I have dedicated 30 years of my life to Latin America—not out of obligation, but from a sheer love for the region, its natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and ever-engaging people. My frequent, endless travels across the continent have been anchored by a full-time base in Latin America since 1996. For the most part, this has been at my private wildlife refuge in off-the-beaten-track Nicaragua, alongside years spent in Costa Rica, and now from my part-time home on the Atlantic coast of Patagonia.

On work trips, I dive deep into the places our travellers love to explore. In my free time, I head out exploring again, focusing on lesser-visited routes and creative alternatives for our tailor-made itineraries. For some, 30 years in the travel industry might mean reaching the end of the road; after all, experience counts for little if you have lost the desire to share it. But with me, travellers will encounter the exact opposite. Alongside the travel and exploration itself, what I enjoy most is sharing my passion for this thrilling region. When travellers return home after an incredible experience, it is immensely rewarding to know they enjoyed such immersion and beauty on a smooth journey that made savouring the best parts effortless.

Above all, someone who listens. I focus on our travellers' interests, needs, wishes, and dreams. After all, many of our trips are dreams come true, so understanding what inspires our clients to travel and what makes a journey truly enjoyable for them is key.

I then combine those wishes with a healthy dose of real-world travel experience and realism. Every destination and country has the good, the bad, and the lovely. While this is always highly subjective, an honest, clear-sighted opinion can genuinely help travellers narrow down their choices—or, on rare occasions, rethink them entirely. The planning process is always a collaboration between specialist and traveller, leading us down a path towards a beautiful, and totally unique itinerary every single time.

A key to ensuring a great trip is the deeply personal and professional relationship I have with each of our operations teams across the region. This allows me to incorporate up-to-the-minute local information into every itinerary, ensuring seamless continuity from our initial conversation to the in-country experience.

Living abroad in Latin America has blessed me with total fluency in Spanish, affording me a unique native-language rapport with our guides and operations managers throughout Central and South America. One that I leverage to ensure our travellers have the best possible experience.

In addition to managing these partnerships from Bogotá to Buenos Aires, and Quito to Cusco, I also bring years of hands-on experience working as both an on-the-ground guide and operations manager. This translates into an intimate understanding of what elevates a good trip to a great one. It also enables me to work in perfect unison with our in-country teams to deliver exceptional journeys across all of our Central and South American destinations.
