Be spellbound by Iguazu Falls

South America

Taller than the Niagara Falls and four times as wide, the Iguazu Falls are one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural sights – you will be spellbound by its vast scale, thunderous sound, and soaking spray. Nestled between two national parks and the countries of Brazil and Argentina, this horseshoe shaped chain of hundreds of cascading waterfalls pounding from heights of 82 metres it really is an impressive sight.

We recommend viewing from the Argentina side, as it’s arguably more impressive than Brazil, but it’s The Devil’s Throat which really dumb-founds. If you’re a movie buff, you’ll recognise these impressive falls featured in various Hollywood blockbusters - The Mission, Miami Vice and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

There is plenty more to do beside the Falls in Iguazu, we recommend at least two full days to fully explore.

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.

You know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China, snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.

I’m someone who’s always had a deep passion for travel and a genuine love of connecting people with the world around them.

I’ve been fortunate to live in several countries and have spent many months backpacking through South America, Europe and Asia, experiences that have given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life. For me, travel is more than just visiting new places, it’s about creating meaningful connections and helping others experience the transformative power of discovering the world.

Whether it’s sharing stories, planning journeys, or offering guidance, I’m passionate about helping others create their own unforgettable travel experiences.
