Lorien Holley

Partner, Sales & Operations

Lorien was born and raised just outside of the city of Durban, South Africa, and the beach had a major influence on Lorien's life. After school, he decided to venture to London, eventually returning to South Africa to study tourism management. After a short stint in an office based position, he decided that it wasn’t what he was looking for, and promptly took an internship at a dive centre and worked his way from divemaster to dive instructor. He then travelled and worked in South Africa, the Seychelles and Malawi as a dive instructor, before a chance meeting with Marcus on Lake Malawi. Being part of the TAC team in Tofo, Mozambique is a dream come true for Lorien, with incredible diving and surfing opportunities, not to mention a fantastic team of work colleagues.

Sabrina Fedeli

Sales

Sabrina was born and raised in Switzerland, always keen to leave, travel, learn languages and explore the world. After completing a masters degree (English, Chinese and cultural anthropology) and getting her highschool teaching diploma at the University of Zurich, she taught English and Chinese at various levels for 8 years. She decided to take a year off and travel in 2023. When doing her dive master in Tofo at the beginning of said year, she fell in love head over heels with Mozambique. After some more adventures around the world (among which climbing Kilimanjaro, yoga teacher training in India, studying Thai massage in Thailand, and many more), she finally decided to settle down in Mozambique. A chance meeting with Tate on the plane to Inhambane eventually led to her starting to work with TAC. She is happy and excited to start working in tourism, use all of her 7 languages and help people from all over the world discover this incredible country.

Marina Holm

Finance

Marina grew up in Finland, Norway and Sweden. A true lover of sunshine and warm weather she decided to escape the cold and moved to Australia to study commerce, not leaving for another 20 years. Despite enjoying the high life of working for big corporations in Australia, the contrast of Africa got under her skin on a family holiday and she returned numerous times. Initially it was all the animals on safari that had her hooked, but then she discovered the beaches of Mozambique and its friendly people. Against all odds she moved to Tofo in 2020. Corporate life in Australia was swapped for the laid back life of Tofo. Her financial skills proved valuable even in this small community and finally led her to TAC at the start of 2024. Working with a team that helps bring people to experience this remote part of the world is a dream come true.

Amaya Hiatt Verdasco

Partner & Finance

Amaya was born in Shakespeare’s land, in the town of Stratford upon Avon and raised in Madrid, capital of Spain. Being lucky enough to be able to communicate in both languages made her realise that the world is an open oyster, so after completing Tourism Studies at the University in Madrid she left Spain in 2003 in search of her adventure. After 6 years in England life brought her to Mozambique where she decided to settle in 2009. Tofo Beach has given her the chance of experiencing what she always wanted, a life next to the Ocean. After meeting Marcus and Elisabeth in mid 2009 Amaya became part of the TAC team making it her reason to stay in Mozambique. Apart from her love towards animals and her job her other main interests are art, music, cinema, football and most of all being with friends and people she loves.
