Meet the Last Frontiers team

Edward spent three years at Oxford playing his trumpet and learning to punt in a straight line (a useful skill for South American river travel). He then farmed for 10 years in South America (based in the Venezuelan Llanos, Orinoco Delta, Morrocoy and Valencia; in Brazil he ran a 50,000 acre farm in São Paulo state with lots of cattle, sugar cane, soya, maize and anacondas) and Argentina is full of his cousins.

After various jobs working and travelling around the world Sue started her travel career with 6 years at Trailfinders before joining Last Frontiers in 2001. Highlights of her numerous recce trips since then have included riding in Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador and Argentina. As a wildlife enthusiast an amazing 'Classic Antarctica' cruise was hard to beat and two further cruises around the Galapagos have not been too arduous! Brazil's Pantanal, Guyana and hiking in Peru have also been top trips.

Lizzy’s love affair with Latin America began with the time she spent volunteering in Mexico. Add to the mix a degree in Spanish and Latin American studies and a sixth month trip backpacking around South America and her passion for the region was heightened.
Lizzy works on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Phil’s first taste of Latin America was in 2003 when he disappeared with his backpack and guide book for a year. He loved it so much he turned his new passion in to his career and upon his return swiftly joined a travel company so he could tell the world how incredible Latin America was. 20 years and countless return fact finding trips later, from deep Southern Patagonia to the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Phil joined Last Frontiers to further share his experiences.

Michael joined the travel industry in 2000, starting out selling round-the-world flights before moving into the world of tailor-made travel. After first visiting Latin America in 2003, a passion for the region was ignited and several return trips followed, including taking Spanish lessons in Guatemala, joining carnival celebrations in Bolivia and an exhausting few days on the Inca trail. Michael now enjoys sharing his Latin American experiences and trying to instil the travel bug into his young family.

Hayley’s passion for travel and wildlife began in childhood, inspired by watching David Attenborough documentaries. Since then, she has journeyed across every continent except Antarctica—which remains high on her bucket list. Of all her travels, Brazil holds a special place, where she spent several weeks exploring Rio and Santa Catarina, with the occasional caipirinha in hand. With two decades of experience in the travel industry, Hayley is now looking forward to new adventures with Last Frontiers.
