Bio
Pursuing a career in the travel industry has been a breath of fresh air and I feel very fortunate to have found a job at Hummingbird which allows me to bring my love for travelling and our unbelievably beautiful destinations into my everyday life. I can’t wait to explore much, much more of the Indian Ocean & the Caribbean. My bucket list of new destinations is ever growing!

Huvafen Fushi - Some islands just have a special feeling and that's what I felt as soon as I stepped foot on Huvafen, I instantly felt at home. Plus, it's got impeccable food, personalised service and gorgeous villas, what more could you want?!

To complete my PADI so I can start exploring the 100s of amazing dive sites in the Maldives!
Favourite Experience
I went for a morning snorkel while staying at Sirru Fen Fushi and saw a pod of dolphins and a manta ray within metres of me in their house reef! I feel very lucky to have experienced this with no one else around.
Insider Tip
When possible, try to stay in more than one location on a trip. It's a great way to explore! For example, Sri Lanka and Maldives make an incredible combo.
