About Me

I happily blame my ‘English/French born in East Africa heritage’ for my peripatetic nature and insatiable thirst for travel!

Like a cat, I’ve lived many lives: feature writer and journalist, radio presenter (with the only English-speaking program on Crete for five years), freelance photographer and travel writer, film and TV publicist, children’s theatre director and choreographer, event coordinator, admin manager, mother – and, above all, passionate philhellene.

But the life that has given me the greatest joy is the one I’ve lived in eastern Crete. My daughter Alexandra was born here, which might have something to do with it – but so does the magic of that endless Greek blue.

It was here, under the brilliance of the Cretan sun, that I quite literally fell into photography. And who could resist? Greece is a visual poem – all clarity of light, purity of colour, and simplicity of line.

I live to breathe Mediterranean air scented with wild thyme and oregano, to swim in azure seas, and to be bathed in that golden light which has mesmerised poets and painters for centuries.

I find deep joy in the simplicity of island life – a life rich in tradition, with its history anchored in the land and the sea and shared with people who are profoundly connected to it.

As your Tour Concierge, I’ll take you on a carefully curated, 14-day culinary and cultural journey across Crete – we’ll meet my friends, walk the ancient paths of the Minoans, Venetians and the Ottomans and to go to places you’d find hard to discover on your own.
