Meet Your Travel Director

Although I grew up in Australia, my father was Dutch and his stories of occupied Holland during World War II fascinated me and triggered my love and interest for history. While other young children watched Sesame Street, I watched the World at War documentary! Inevitably I had to come and see Europe for myself and from here I never looked back - the more I discovered, the more there was. I ended up staying.

Over the past 26 years I’ve spent the majority of that time as a Travel Director for Trafalgar Tours. I’ve guided groups through the heart of Europe — from the charming capitals of the East to the iconic sights of the West. Now I have my own children, we live in Spain because I truly love Europe and know you will too.

I am genuinely excited to share this passion with you — through stories, sights and unforgettable moments that bring this incredible continent to life. Don't just visit Europe, Live it. That's what we do!
