About yourself
After many years of family holidays and time spent travelling and living abroad, I realised that I wanted to find a job where I could use my love of travel. I've been at The Adventure Company for 6 years now in a variety of roles, all of which I have enjoyed immensly.
What do you love most about your job?
Putting together itineraries that will allow people to have some of the same great experiences I have had while travelling the world and seeing their response when they come back each time.
What is your most memorable travel experience?
Its probably a close call between riding a snowmobile and seeing the Northern Lights inside the Arctic Circle in Finland or seeing the wildly diverse culture and history alongside the incredible technology in Japan.
Where have you been?
Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Greece, Northern Cyprus, Southern Cyprus, Finland, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Canada, USA, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Panama, Paraguay, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Slovakia, Turkey, Japan, Finland.
Best travel tip

The chance to experience different cultures, meet different people and learn more about the wide variety of cultures and lifestyles that the world has to offer.
