As a Bengali girl raised in a rural Appalachian town in Kentucky, I’ve always been curious about different cultures, customs, and cuisines. Some of my most cherished travel memories involve wandering through quaint European towns and lounging on sun-kissed Caribbean beaches.

My passion for adventure recently led me to the otherworldly landscapes of Iceland. From hiking the largest glaciers in Europe, exploring abandoned lava tubes, to savoring Icelandic delicacies like lamb stew, arctic char, and happy marriage cake. I believe Iceland’s unparalleled beauty defies words — it’s an experience that must be felt firsthand. There’s something about soaking in a geothermal pool while being mesmerized by the dancing aurora borealis that leaves you feeling both privileged and profoundly humble.

Now, I channel that same love for rugged beauty and rich history into helping others explore Scotland and England. Scotland’s wild, untamed countryside often reminds me of Iceland – the perfect place to connect with nature (and, of course, plenty of sheep!). And England’s charming villages feel like stepping into a storybook. Whether you’re tasting ‘haggis, neeps & tatties’ after a day of castle-hopping or meandering through the Cotswolds, I believe every corner of these countries offers something unforgettable.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Audley team and look forward to crafting your own captivating journey, whether it’s to the Land of Fire and Ice or the misty highlands and cobblestone streets of the UK.
