Danielle – Owner & Tour Manager
I was born and raised in Australia and my earliest treasures were maps, globes and anything travel related. Even from a young age, I was always encouraged to spread my wings and travel the world.
In 1999 I moved to London where I began my career as a Tour Leader. Over the last 18 years, I have been privileged to lead thousands of travellers all over Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In 2004, Brunei became my home and over the five years I was resident, I fell in love with Borneo, its people and natural beauty.
After 20 years experience in the Tourism Industry (Dive Instructor, Tour Leader and Travel Agent), and 10 years of planning, I have designed, what I consider to be the perfect tours throughout Borneo. I believe a tour isn’t just about the destination, but a journey. A story into an authentic world of vast cultures, exotic wildlife, amazing scenery, rich history and welcoming locals which Borneo offers. The ability to experience these new cultures, new places and meet amazing people is a gift that I love to share. I am immensely fortunate to introduce you to Borneo and be able to share that journey with you.
Our Charities
Dee-luxe Journeys supports the orangutan and rainforest conservation work of Orangutan Foundation International Australia. Every Dee-Luxe Journey tour will either adopt an orangutan OR donate to the Orangutan Foundation International Australia on behalf of the group (group size dependent).
Whilst in Borneo we visit and support Semmongoh Wildlife Centre in Sarawak and in Sabah, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre.
Responsible Travel
Throughout your journey, you will meet many people from different ethnic groups. Dee-Luxe Journeys strives to constantly improve and find ways to give back as much as possible to the communities and be as sensitive as possible to the natural surrounding. Tourism as an industry employs more people worldwide the any other and best of all promotes open-mindedness and smaller groups have less of an impact on communities and environments. I strive to use locally owned where possible in the attempt to put money directly into the communities, employ local guides and drivers, and give gratuities for their services.
