I'll ski and snowboard in rain, hail and sub-zero temperatures, however, my belief that I was a lizard in a previous life has recently lead me to the warm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean and Indian Ocean!
As a watersports enthusiast and keen sailor, I've been lucky enough to work and play in the Greek Islands, British Virgin Islands and many of the other Caribbean Islands.
After spending my 20s and early 30s working in the Alps and watersports resorts in Europe, I spent a year traveling around Australia. To be able to now work in the luxury travel industry, while looking after a young family at home, is just my dream! I get to travel to the most amazing places and relay new found knowledge to my guests! Scott Dunn works with the best properties around the world and I can't wait to broaden my 'Travel CV'!
