Why We Travel Forward

When you sit down with me to plan a journey, you’re not talking to someone who’s just read about places. I’ve stood on the deck of a ship as whales surfaced beside me in Greenland, shared meals with families in the Himalayas, and crossed the Australian outback with nothing but a 4WD and a red dirt road ahead.

But this isn’t about me. It’s about you. I launched Forward Travel to make sure your travels aren’t just photos and checklists, but stories that feel alive every time you tell them—journeys that connect you with people, cultures, and landscapes in ways no brochure could prepare you for.

Since 2013, I've been creating tailor-made adventures for travellers like you. My role is simple: listen to what excites you, draw on a lifetime of travel, and shape an itinerary that feels written for you alone.
