Hello, I’m Gayle Higginbotham
I grew up in Africa and spent twenty-five years building a corporate media career across four continents. I travel at the level my clients expect, and I know what separates a good journey from one that stays with you. Oculus Travel is built on that knowledge and on the conviction that the right to recommend must be earned.
