Senior Travel Designer•37 countries visited

Mary’s career in travel has taken her across more than 50 countries, from the beaches of Thailand to the wilderness of Nepal, and from the remote Galápagos to the souks of Marrakech. Years spent living and raising her children in Argentina gave her unrivalled knowledge of Latin America, while her passion for discovery continues to draw her to destinations with soul and space — from Patagonia and Oman’s desertscapes to Cape Town’s Winelands and the islands of the Indian Ocean.
What sets Mary apart is how she designs. She brings empathy, intuition, and impeccable taste to every journey, ensuring each itinerary strikes the right balance of immersion and ease. Clients value her instinct for the details that matter: a favourite champagne waiting on arrival, a sunset dinner on a clifftop terrace, or a starlit evening under desert skies.
An adventurous soul, Mary has paraglided into Zighy Bay, fly-fished in Argentina, and paddled through Borneo’s jungles. She delights in finding new islands before the crowds — like Holbox off the Yucatán Peninsula — yet equally treasures favourites closer to home, such as the Greek island of Spetses. Whether a once-in-a-lifetime safari, a family escape to the Indian Ocean, or a gastronomic journey through Cape Town, Mary crafts each holiday with quiet consideration and enduring care.
