Accessible Travel, Air TravelAbout Me
I’m a travel advisor who specializes in accessible, inclusive, and deeply personalized travel experiences for people who are often overlooked by traditional travel services. As an autistic woman over 50 who frequently travels solo, I bring lived experience and professional insight to every itinerary I craft. I understand the real-life challenges of travel - panic attacks in airports, inaccessible hotels, sensory overwhelm, and the constant need to self-advocate. But I also know how transformative travel can be, and I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence, joy, and ease.
I work with a wide range of travelers who need accommodations, including autistic individuals, disabled travelers, caregivers, and families. Whether you're a solo woman over 40 seeking a safe, enriching escape, or a parent planning a sensory-friendly trip for a child, I take the time to understand your needs and build a trip around them. I’ve supported travelers using mobility aids, service animals, and neurodivergent-friendly planning tools - because travel should never feel like an uphill battle.
Recently, a client entrusted me with arranging cross-country travel for his minor son flying solo for the first time. From coordinating unaccompanied minor protocols to ensuring a smooth experience at the airport, I handled every detail with care and precision. That same level of trust shows up in all my work, whether I’m rerouting a family mid-trip due to a meltdown, or spotting a 12-hour flight delay before the airline even sends the alert. I don’t just plan trips - I anticipate needs, solve problems, and stay two steps ahead so you don’t have to.
Originally from South Africa, I return often and love sharing its beauty with others. I also specialize in short-stay itineraries and long layover adventures, especially in Europe, where I often spend 2–3 days exploring cities en route to South Africa. Whether you want a tightly scheduled tour or prefer flexibility with built-in downtime, I create trips that reflect your pace, preferences, and priorities.
In 2022, I planned a month-long journey through South Africa with my teenage son, complete with a snowy stopover in London and Paris. Despite major disruptions, we adapted and made lifelong memories. That same resilience helped me support a friend whose trip with her autistic child was unraveling. With a few sensory-considerate tweaks, we turned it around. I bring that same empathy, foresight, and problem-solving to every client I serve.
At my core, I’m a planner, listener, and advocate. If you're looking for a travel advisor who understands visible and invisible disabilities, solo travel over 50, or how to make every moment count, I’m here to help.
Let’s build a trip that works for you.
