With a lifelong passion for travel, Kate brings deep curiosity and rich global experience to her role. Inspired early by her mother’s roots in Assam, she has journeyed to India many times, a country that continues to ignite her imagination.

Her adventurous spirit has carried her across seven continents, from teaching English in Madagascar to tracing wildlife through South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Kenya. Along the way, she has found herself drawn to islands and coastlines just as much as cities and savannahs – drifting between the turquoise calm of the Seychelles and Fiji, exploring Australia’s vast, sun‑baked landscapes, and soaking in the layered cultures of Indonesia. She’s immersed herself in the vibrant rhythms of Sri Lanka, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala and beyond, and counts a thrilling expedition cruise to Antarctica among her most unforgettable adventures.
