A true wildlife enthusiast, Marie is most at home in destinations where nature takes centre stage. One of her most memorable experiences was overlanding through Central and Eastern Africa, where she hiked up a volcanic mountain to spend an hour with a family of gorillas in Rwanda – an encounter she describes as “unforgettable and truly humbling.” She also treasures the time she spent on jeep safaris through National Parks in Sri Lanka, where close encounters with Asian elephants left a lasting impression.
