About yourself
I love travelling and haven't done nearly enough of it yet. There is nothing quite like living out of a rucksack and facing new challenges and experiences every day that are so unlike anything you'll come across at home.
What do you love most about your job?
The opportunities to travel and learning about new places all around the world.
What is your most memorable travel experience?
Climbing up the highest temple in Tikal and looking out over the jungle. Watching the sun set and being able to watch three different lightening storms on the horizon. In the central plaza at night time you can almost feel the ghosts of the ancient Mayan civilisation wandering around.
Where have you been?
France, Germany, Greece, Tobago, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, USA, India
Best travel tip
Simple items like wetwipes and dry wash can be life savers if you don't have easy access to a shower or a sink and soap! A head torch is also a must if you're camping or electricity is temperamental.
What inspires you to travel?
Since travelling to Central America a few years ago I have been well and truly bitten by the travel bug and cannot wait to get out there and see more of the world. There is so much to see and every country is different: the sights, the wildlife, the scenery, the people and the cultures. This planet has so much to offer and I want to see it all!
