As a water lover Donna is always looking for new places she can go scuba diving and snorkelling, so if this is one of your passions, she is sure to have some great ideas for your next trip.
Southern Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia are some of Donna’s favourite regions, with Namibia her standout destination among them.
Her passion for the country is obvious when asked to recall some of the highlights of her trip there. “The sea of dunes at Sossusvlei in the Namib desert were vast and mystical”, she says. “The early morning light touching the sand and huge contrasts of colour made for amazing photography!”
Having visited nearly 40 countries, it’s hardly surprising that some of Donna’s favourite memories read like bucket-list adventures. After all, who wouldn’t want to stand atop the monastery at Petra in Jordan, dive with great white sharks in Port Lincoln or take a boat trip from Flores to Sumbawa in Indonesia, eating the fish you catch, diving with huge manta rays and witnessing incredible sunrises and sunsets.
Donna finds travel an enriching and amazing experience, so when she is not travelling herself, she is happy knowing her clients are exploring our world. “Knowing that I am instrumental in enhancing their lives through travel makes me so excited for them”.
Indeed, Donna once booked a surprise honeymoon to the Americas. “They started in Hawaii, went to Las Vegas with a Grand Canyon helicopter and boat tour, sightseeing in New York, then a tour of the highlights of Patagonia. As if that wasn’t enough, I booked the Captain's suite on an Aurora Expeditions cruise to Antarctica.
A month of true adventure for the lovely newlyweds.”

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
One of the most incredible holidays I helped plan included Business Class airfares to Europe, a 5-star London stay at The Goring, tours of Ireland and Eastern Europe, rail journeys, and luxury stays in Prague, Munich and Brussels. It was an unforgettable trip!
What is your number one travel tip?
Always take at least one sarong on holiday with you. This multi-purpose item is a light but useful inclusion, and can come in handy in so many situations.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
Thailand is a firm favourite for the food, the people, the diving, and the unrivalled islands. On the other hand, Namibia is a country of contrast - from the Namib Desert to the Okavango Delta - and a must-visit!
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I spend time listening to my clients to create their ideal travel experience together. Many of my clients are now good friends as we've built up trust and a sense of camaraderie over the years.
