I travel. I take photos.

I usually start with a plan, but I am at my best when I wander off the path. I am an amateur photographer with a love of getting lost in new places, discovering beautiful corners of the world, and capturing the quiet feelings and fleeting expressions of the people I meet along the way before the moment disappears. The little collection is mostly just me sharing the things that caught my eye — places, people, small details, and the occasional photo I’m actually quite proud of. If they inspire you to see somewhere new, or simply make you stop scrolling for a few seconds, then I’m happy.

Home base: a dream job, high above London.

Between trips you will find me steering the team in a five-star hotel in London. I love people — guiding the team, welcoming guests, looking after every detail, and making an evening feel a little bit special. Hospitality and travel turn out to be the same thing: it’s all about making people feel at home, seen from both sides of the table.

Next departure · China

Where next, and everything in between.

China has been at the top of my list for years. I’ve always been drawn to its rich cultural heritage, ancient temples, and spiritual landscapes — a fascination fuelled in part by working for a brand inspired by the legendary haven of Shangri-La, high in the Himalayan mountains.

Planning the route mostly means saving photos of hidden places I’m not sure I will ever find, which is half of the fun.

When I’m not travelling, I’m usually at the gym or on a climbing wall, building the strength for the next long hike. Climbing has taught me patience, and that turns out to be the most useful thing behind a camera too: most of my favourite photos came from waiting for the light, the cold, or the moment to finally line up.
