The Edit — Our Story
The story behind The Wadsworth Edit , and why the most memorable journeys are rarely the ones that were simply booked.
I grew up travelling. Not in the kind of way that children accept as ordinary at the time, but in the way you look back on and understand as formative, family trips to Greece and Turkey, Fiji and Vanuatu, Hawaii and throughout Asia and Australia. Each one left a distinct impression: the light in a particular place, the feeling of arriving somewhere completely unlike home, the way a destination has its own rhythm that takes a day or two to find.
That early curiosity never left. It evolved, became more refined, took on new layers, but the essential impulse remained the same: a genuine desire to understand a place, not just pass through it.
I first travelled to Greece at the age of 6.

25 Years in Hospitality
What followed was a career built entirely around the creation of exceptional guest experiences. Over 25 years in hospitality, I developed an understanding of service at its finest, the kind of detail-oriented, quietly attentive approach that elevates a stay from pleasant to genuinely memorable. That grounding shapes everything I do at The Wadsworth Edit. I know what good looks like, and more importantly, I know the difference it makes.
"The best travel experiences are often the simplest, a long lunch overlooking the sea, a small winery discovered away from the crowds, a place that feels entirely its own."
Alongside this, I completed a WSET Diploma in Wine and Spirits, a qualification that reflects not just a professional interest, but a genuine love of the table, the vineyard, and the way food and wine anchor you to a place. Many of my own travels have been built around the world's great wine regions: the Winelands of South Africa, the vineyards of Europe, the cool-climate producers of New Zealand and Australia.

Why The Wadsworth Edit Exists
The Wadsworth Edit was founded on a simple belief: that the most memorable journeys are thoughtfully curated, not simply booked. There is an enormous difference between a trip assembled from a search engine and one designed by someone who has actually been there, who knows which room to request, which experience is worth the early start, and which restaurant has a table overlooking the water that most people don't know to ask for.
Originally from Sydney and now based in Singapore, I work with clients across the globe. My own travels span Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North America, Asia, South Africa and Polynesia, a breadth that has shaped an intuitive understanding of how people experience different destinations, and what makes a journey feel right for a particular person, family, or moment in life.

A Personal Approach
As a mother, I am just as experienced at designing travel that works beautifully for families as I am in curating refined escapes for couples or solo travellers. The brief changes; the care does not. Each itinerary is built from scratch, balancing iconic destinations with lesser-known experiences, extraordinary hotels with a genuine sense of place, and every detail considered from first enquiry to final transfer home.
The Wadsworth Edit is proudly an affiliate of SmartFlyer Australia and a Virtuoso member, affiliations that give clients access to exclusive benefits, upgrades, and experiences at the world's finest properties. But more than any credential, what I offer is something simpler: genuine expertise, first-hand experience, and a commitment to getting the details right.

If you are thinking about a journey — whether it is a long-imagined dream trip, a family holiday that needs to work for everyone, or simply a long weekend done beautifully — I would love to help you design it.
Many European Summers in my 20’s were well spent studying wine at a French Wine School and exploring the South of France with friends.
