Operations Manager
Elize Heger
Elize is RAW Travel’s Operations Manager. Her passion for travel began at a young age, sparked by discovering National Geographic magazines. Growing up in Africa, surrounded by phenomenal wildlife, diverse cultures, and breathtaking scenery, she developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
Elize has completed several of RAW Travel’s iconic walks, including the UK’s Coast to Coast Path, Japan’s Kumano Kodo Trail, the Le Puy Camino in France, the Portuguese Coastal Camino, the Tour du Mont Blanc spanning France, Italy and Switzerland, and Australia’s Cape to Cape hike, where she marvelled at the vibrant wildflowers. She has also walked the Camino Francés and cycled from Santiago to Finisterre, as well as explored the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand and Italy. For Elize, travelling is about embracing the freedom and exhilaration of being outdoors, with sensory experiences heightened by walking or cycling through stunning landscapes.
An adventurer at heart, Elize has skydived in Swakopmund, camped in the Okavango Delta, hiked Cradle Mountain and Table Mountain, explored the Great Wall of China, and cycled through incredible regions of Australia and Europe. She cherishes spending time with her grandkids and has travelled to over 50 countries. Her dream is to visit Scotland and sail around the Mediterranean.
