DESTINATION EXPERT

About Auriole

An eclectic career in various parts of the travel industry has led me to some of the most remote and beautiful corners of the world. I spent 10 months based in Beijing, travelling across China whilst attempting to master Mandarin; a few years later, I found myself in the foothills of the Himalayas, managing a boutique tea estate property near Darjeeling. These experiences fuelled a love of the East in particular, and more recent travels have taken me driving across the other-worldly desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, attending the annual Eagle Festival in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains and diving the world-class reefs of Raja Ampat. I enjoy the planning of adventures almost as much as the adventures themselves and take immense pride in creating beautifully bespoke journeys to some of the most spectacular destinations on earth.

Hakone Japan
Just returned from…

Japan

Japan had long held a fascination for me and when I finally visited, a few months ago, it shattered all my preconceptions. The intricacies of its age-old traditions and culture combined with the break-neck speed of progress in its super cities make it ones of the most enigmatic destinations in the world; I loved these epic contrasts. I met our exceptional team of specialists and guides who look after our clients on the ground and returned with reams of ideas for ways to make our itineraries go far beyond the ordinary.

Saigon Vietnam
NEXT DESTINATION IS…

Vietnam

Having travelled extensively in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is the missing piece of the puzzle for me, and I can’t wait to explore this colourful and compelling country. Besides delving into the culture, history and heritage of Hanoi and Hue, I’m intrigued to ascend into the tribal foothills of the Tonkinese Alps; seek out a lesser visited – but no less spectacular – alternative to busy Halong Bay and grapple with downtown Saigon traffic. It goes without saying that I’ll also be sampling as many bowls of pho as I can get my hands on!
