I work at the intersection of travel design, guest experience, and content & storytelling – with a strong interest in sustainable, impactful projects and initiatives, particularly in Southern Africa. Originally from Switzerland, my path led me away from a more traditional career into a purpose-driven, international environment, where I now live and work – guided by my personal philosophy: «Driven by purpose, guided by heart». Today, I work across three complementary roles: I manage a lodge in South Africa for a conservation-focused organisation, support a conservation-tech organisation remotely in marketing and content, and design as well as lead a small number of tailor-made travel experiences. What connects all of these roles is the work with experiences and content: With a background in hospitality, marketing, communication and consulting, as well as extensive travel experience across Africa, Asia and South America, I bring a strong sense for people, context and quality – and translate this understanding into experiences and content that are truly meaningful, from initial concept through to written and visual execution for guests, marketing or strategic purposes. Currently, I am open to project-based, remote collaborations in the areas of travel design, content and guest experience – ideally with partners who value quality, authenticity and long-term collaboration.
