To quote Roald Amundsen, Norwegian Polar explorer, “Antarctica looks like a fairy-tale."

I am so excited to be working for Chimu Adventures. I have been working in Antarctic & Arctic tourism for over 15 years and feel so passionate about the protection of these Polar regions. I also love watercolour art and had the experience of joining as an artist in-residence on my last trip to Antarctica. We have so far raised AUD $27,000 for WWF Antarctica and the Mawson's Hut Foundation. 

I have been on three Antarctica voyages, including to incredible South Georgia and have been fortunate to see polar bears in Spitsbergen in the Arctic. I also continued to work on my art for wildlife protection in the Galapagos region. Recently, I also became an IAATO Antarctic Ambassador, joining a community of passionate individuals who strive to protect this amazing Polar environment. 

I am travelling next to the Sub Antarctica Islands including Macquarie Island, and would love to paint the rare Royal and Snares penguins.

I loved trekking the Inca Trail and staying in a homestay on Lake Titicaca. I have travelled to Argentina many times and was lucky enough to join in the exciting and wonderful celebrations of winning the World Cup.

I have a dream to see the wildlife in Costa Rica and to travel to see the famous Galapagos penguins. I love helping people enjoy the incredible adventures available in these magical and precious regions.
