- 4 years' Experience in Travel
Growing up in Cornwall by the sea, my sense of adventure was ingrained from a very young age. The rugged coastline and endless ocean sparked a curiosity that would shape my career. I've been fortunate to work and travel across some of the world's most spectacular destinations, from New Zealand and Greece to Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, the Azores, South Africa, and the Caribbean.
My adventures often revolve around coastal experiences, water sports, uncovering hidden gems, and immersing myself in authentic local cuisine. For several years, I worked aboard a yacht, exploring secluded corners of Europe, the Caribbean and everywhere in between. Each new port and new experience left me wanting more.
