About Me

I have been in Laos for over 9 years now and my love for this country has only grown over this period. I originally arrived as a backpacker and never left. I first lived and worked in the town of Vang Vieng as a kayaking guide on the scenic Nam Song and Nam Lik Rivers with a local ecotourism company. From there I worked my way up to General Manager and over the course of this period, got to live in Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang, Vientiane and Pakse - a great way to see so much of Laos.

After around 3 years here, I decided to move on and helped start a Lao-owned company called Teamwork, which is a local business support company. Our most successful area is our work in the tourism industry. This includes consulting for the Stay Another Day project of the IFC-MPDF (private arm of the World Bank specializing in private sector development work in the Mekong region) and working with the Dutch Development Organization, SNV, on pro-poor sustainable tourism development in Khammouane and Savannakhet Provinces, but most importantly has lead to our participation in the whl.travel franchise.

Work is not all that keeps me here though!! I have grown deeply attached to the people, the nature and the general peaceful atmosphere that you find throughout this country.

Some unique local experiences I can help you plan are:

- Every wanted to ride an elephant - or learn how to look after one? This is something I can arrange for you.
- A night out in Vientiane - whether this is dinner while watching a traditional dance performance, or some of the wonderful Beer Lao and some live music.
- Want to know about some volunteering options? There are not many in Laos, but I can help you find what is available.
- From luxury cruises along the mighty Mekong river, to hotel options and day tours - we can help you find exactly what you are looking for.
- Trekking, village homestays, kayaking, elephant trekking, mountain biking, car rental - just ask and our local expertise will be yours!!!

Ask me about these experiences and anything else in Laos - I'd love to help you plan your perfect trip!
