Hotel Specialist, Europe & North America
Skiing began for me whilst at school in Switzerland and Australia. Moving countries while growing up was the norm for me but a constant was skiing in our family home in Crans Montana, Switzerland.
Combining my love for travel and skiing led me to more recently spend seasons in Patagonia, Argentina and Kitzbühel, Austria where I qualified as a ski instructor and taught my passion to holidaymakers.
Now I want to help you plan your next ski adventure, so you can enjoy your time in the mountains as much as I do.
I am a skier.
