I've always had a passion for languages and different cultures - growing up I always wanted to emulate my Mum’s exotic sounding travels. Time spent living in France and Italy left me convinced I had to incorporate travel into my career, whether it be through visiting bustling cities or venturing off the beaten track.
I love to immerse myself in the places I visit; be it finding a restaurant filled with locals, an out-of-the-way beauty spot accessible only by helicopter or just simply taking the time to observe a different way of life.

Travel nuggets
<p>Turn up the heat in Buenos Aires with a private Tango lesson before showing off your new moves in a milonga</p>
In Lisbon, take time to get lost in the labyrinth of backstreets covered in traditional Portugese tiles.
If you can, spend a night under canvas in the Sahara Desert in Morocco - the sound of silence is indescribable and the sunset awe-inspiring.
Take a stroll with a difference in Paris on the Promenade Plantée near Place de la Bastille. This elevated parkway constructed on a 19th Century railway viaduct offers a new way to see Paris and a welcome respite from the frantic streets below.
<p>For the best views of New York head to the Top of the Rock for a 360 cityscape including the iconic Empire State Building</p>
