26 years' Experience in Travel

Journalism was the plan until a brilliant spell teaching English in Japan sparked a better idea. Why work to afford travel when you can travel for work. That thought nudged me into the travel industry and I am now more than 60 countries in.

From the Swat Valley in Pakistan to the Icehotel in Kiruna, the dragons of Komodo and bars of Brooklyn. Over the years my thread count has improved and I now wince at a bed that is not turned down. Yet I still get that tingle on the back of the neck when somewhere truly special appears. New kitchen, car or gorillas in Rwanda? I know which I'd rather do...

What's the most exciting wildlife sighting you’ve ever encountered?

Being in hot pursuit of a pack of lions in the back of a safari jeep, catching up and watching a fairly gory kill. Proper David Attenborough moment.
What’s the most incredible natural phenomenon you have witnessed?

Iguazu Falls - the sheer power, noise and size of the falls is incredible.
What is the best hotel you've ever stayed at and why?

Gangtey Lodge, Bhutan - I defy anyone to not be mesmerised by the view from the bathtub

My Favourite Scott Dunn Hotels and Tours

Japan Reimagined: A Four Seasons Itinerary

Tokyo neon, Kyoto’s temples and Osaka’s legendary food scene, all wrapped up with Four Seasons polish. It is Japan’s greatest hits if you like.

VIEW TOUR
Finca Cortesin

Whitewashed walls, jasmine-scented courtyards and suites so big I briefly considered moving in. Love it.

VIEW HOTEL
Post Ranch Inn

I saw Adele here!! It is the sort of place that makes you stop mid sentence just to stare at the view.
