Background

Born in Zimbabwe and moved to South Africa at a young age, my family constantly moving around and finding new houses has taught me to be resilient and not get attached to material objects. Always loving the outdoors and adventures which is what got me into my current profession of sailing. This also taught me to work with people and manage guests expectations and experiences. I enjoy challenging myself in many areas of my life, this is why I accepted a Chef job onboard a yacht without any professional training or experience. After 2 seasons in the yachting industry I want change and look to the Alps for a new adventure.
