Shoeshoe Tiitinen

I was born and raised in Johannesburg and have lived in the US and France before settling in the UK. Southern Africa isn’t just a region I know — it’s home. I bring a local’s insight, a global perspective and a strong understanding of what clients actually need when booking in-region. With over 40 countries under my belt — including Brazil, Morocco, Indonesia, Spain, Finland, Mozambique, Austria, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Mexico — I combine firsthand experience with research-backed recommendations and a high standard of delivery. My background helps me anticipate the unspoken needs of clients and design journeys that are both thoughtful and seamless. Too often, local expertise is underestimated. I believe it’s a crucial asset — especially when travel is approached with intention, respect and care. I design every journey with a ‘local first’ mindset: prioritising community connection, cultural integrity and long-term impact, while delivering elevated and enriching experiences for travellers. Whether you're planning a tailor-made itinerary through Southern Africa or anywhere else in the world, I bring a collaborative, detail-driven approach rooted in experience and purpose. Southern Africa is a core strength, but my global portfolio reflects the same level of care, insight and creativity — no matter the destination. I also offer a concierge-style service for clients looking to elevate their trip with premium extras — from VIP restaurant reservations to exclusive event ticketing, including global sporting events and cultural experiences. These premium add-ons are part of the elevated service I provide — making the entire travel experience smooth, memorable and effortlessly luxurious.
