- 16 years' Experience in Travel
My passion for travel started at a very young age, when I moved to Malaysia for the first 3 years of my life, aged just 6 weeks old. I have been working in travel for over 15 years and have continued my travels while working in our Singapore office and living in Russia for 6 months. I have also travelled all over Thailand, having visited numerous times - 28 occasions, totalling over 2 years there - asmy wife is Thai.
With a keen interest in History, visiting the Temples of Angkor and S-21, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh were really memorable, for different reasons. I have also been to Laos, China and Australia (where I have family) and my next trip is to Vietnam in September 2025.
