I stumbled into the travel industry while looking for my first job and I'm happy to say that I've never looked back for the past 12 years and it's been one of the best decisions of my life. I would love the opportunity to share my passion for travel with as many people as I can.
To me, traveling is so much more than just visiting a beautiful destination and staying at amazing hotels, it is about creating intangible life changing experiences, memories to look fondly back on and all sorts of incredible stories to tell. It's that indescribable rush of adrenaline as you dive into the crystal clear waters of Greece or that buzzing excitement and anticipation as you taste your first bite of paella in Barcelona. The world is a very big place with infinite possibilities and I can't wait to discover and learn as much as I can. I would love to visit Zanzibar next as it combines two of my favorite things - beaches and wildlife. I'm also keen to explore Lapland, I'm dreaming of staying in an igloo to hopefully catch sight of the Northern Lights and riding on a husky sleigh.
