Meet your host
Fora Travel Consultant · Managing Director, Global Travel Masters
For years I've planned journeys for business families, diplomats, golf club members and private clients across five continents. Through my concierge Travel Arri, Global Travel Masters and African Travel Masters, I've arranged everything from Glacier Express cabins to fly-in safari camps.
The difference? I've personally been there. Every hotel, every viewpoint, every restaurant in my group itineraries has been visited by me — across more than 65 countries. I know which room has the view, which village still feels untouched, and where to find a proper vegetarian thali in the Alps.
Living between Amsterdam (Netherlands) and New Delhi (India), I bring Indian and Dutch travellers together on journeys that feel personal, comfortable and full of real culture.
I speak English, Hindi & Punjabi — and I'm learning Dutch. Ik oefen graag met u!
Why travel with me
Quiet temples, family-run dairies, village tavernas — the corners I discovered on my own travels.
12–18 guests so you get personal attention and make real friends along the way.
Vegetarian, Jain and allergy-friendly meals arranged with chefs in advance — even in remote places.
No call centres. I travel with the group and solve any hiccup before you notice it.
Fora is a member agency of the Virtuoso luxury network — so booking with me unlocks upgrades, daily breakfast, on-property credits and flexible check-in/out at thousands of top hotels, resorts and cruise lines.
Balanced pacing with time to breathe, plus local experts who bring history and traditions to life.
"Travel is the feeling of being looked after in any corner of the globe. I take personal responsibility for every hour of your trip."
