Travel Expertise

I try to live by Mahatma Ghandi’s mantra: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Ali's Story

At age 20, I sold my car and used the money to buy a ticket around the world. The rest is history.
As a small child, my family’s farming operation employed agriculture students from Europe, and they would share stories of their homeland. As I grew older and spent more time with these students, my interest in experiencing foreign destinations soared.

I’ve always felt that travel is what I was destined to do! One of my fist jobs was working at Sacramento International Airport, where I was a daily witness of departing passengers waiving teary farewells to loved ones, or balloon, flower and banner-carrying greeters welcoming arriving passengers to the capital of California.

Another role that added value to my livelihood was living and working on a resort island in the Whitsunday chain of No. Queensland, as well as working at a cattle station in Victoria, Australia.

My avocation as a travel professional entails working with a variety of individuals, interests and budgets – which constantly keeps me on my toes. From organizing a private night game drive in the Timbavati area of Limpopo, or wine tasting in South Africa, Australia or New Zealand, I can assist you in planning a journey to these destinations that include activities and adventures I can personally vouch for. Happy clients mean repeat clients! I’m always grateful for referrals, it’s the highest form of a compliment.

In keeping my family’s tradition alive, I still oversee visiting international exchange students and host them in my home!
