Claire Medlock
London Office
I've always had a passion for languages and different cultures - and growing up I always wanted to emulate my Mum’s exotic sounding travels. Time spent working 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 or just simply taking the time to observe a different way of life. Europe has so much to offer and although I have visited many areas it always leaves me wanting more.

Travel nuggets
In Sicily, you can tell the best gelateria based on the color of the pistachio ice cream!
In Lisbon, take time to get lost in the labyrinth of backstreets covered in traditional Portugese tiles. Along with myriad photo opportunities you are sure to find unusual independant shops specializing in cork!
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.
