My first solo trip was at 20. Since then I have visited 66 countries on 6 continents. With my years of travel to draw upon, I will help you to clarify the “the why, what, where and the how”. To make known practical tools and resources to equip you in researching destinations and activities. To connect you to suitable tours, accommodation, travel agents and more.
You are not alone. You can do it!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in you sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

I recently was needing some advice for some upcoming international artist residencies and travel. I sort out Monique to help me in this, knowing her extensive knowledge and travel experience would be key in helping with how to manage and organise myself for the best possible outcomes. I was suitable impressed and delighted in her capacity to guide me on the right course!

why we can
work together
Travel is an inward journey. Through the mindfulness and self-compassion techniques, you can learn to respond rather than react. It is not saying we have no fear or to eradicate fear but having the inner resources to leverage challenges as spiritual experiences to grow and learn.
You are not alone. You can do it! I look forward to helping you reach your travel goals be they for a week, a year or a lifetime.
why travel?
WHY TRAVEL?
Travel is not just about the physical. It is a journey of the mind and emotions.
GOALS
You may have goals such as quitting old bad habits and so start new healthy ones or nurturing your curiosity. The why’s are numerous.
FINDING SPACE
The Japanese have a term “MA” meaning “Place, Space, Void”. Leaving behind friends and family, the “known” and the routine can provide us with much needed “space”. We may find “place” by embracing new cultures, friends, food and experiences. Peace can be found in the “void”, a time for mindfulness and at perhaps solitude.
PURPOSE
Travelling is a little like dancing. “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way”. Wayne Dyer.
