When it comes to my all-time favorite vacation, it’s the mountains every time. Whether that’s skiing in the winter or hiking and biking in the summer. I always try to make time for the mountains at least a couple of times a year. I love to be active on my vacations, I’m a keen skier, sailor and I like to play tennis, swim, hike and bike too.
As an avid traveler, I love the excitement of new experiences. I spent a couple of years living in New England in the States and in more recent years I have spent my vacations sailing in the Caribbean, exploring Croatia, wine tasting in Tuscany and being a culture vulture and foodie in Florence. Like many of us who work in an office environment, when I’m on vacation it’s important for me to get outside, be active and reenergise.
I have a weakness for luxury on vacation and as one of our guests you will know it is terribly easy to become accustomed to! I appreciate that luxury doesn’t just mean the property, facilities and service when you are on vacation but the whole experience, from booking your vacation, throughout until you are home. I am really proud that here at Scott Dunn we do that well and are experts in taking the stress out of your vacation.

All in all, a wonderful vacation."

Eat local food – from fresh seafood in the Med to lobster in Maine, alligator in the Everglades, cheese in the Alps or traditional Navajo food in Monument Valley. Tasting local food is a great way to experience authentic local culture.
Write a travel journal - a great way to look back on those fabulous once in a lifetime experiences.
Wake up early on your ski vacation to catch the sunrise, make fresh tracks and beat the crowds.
