My passion for travelling started after taking a sabbatical and touring Asia and Australasia for 9 months, visiting some incredible countries, embracing different cultures and seeing amazing wildlife.
I love the beautiful scenery, particularly in the central region of Bali with rolling hills of rice paddies and cocoa plantations to the gorgeous white sandy beaches and limestone karsts in the south of Thailand.
Over the past 12 years working in travel I have been lucky enough to visit to different corners of the world. I have visited Thailand over ten times, I have travelled from West to East of Indonesia - my favourite are was Raja Ampat, an incredible archipelago of deserted islands and some of the best marine life I have ever seen. Some of my most memorable experiences are seeing orang-utans in the wild in Borneo and Indonesia, saying in a Bedouin camp in the middle of the incredible Wadi Rum, taking a hot air balloon ride across the plains of Bagan in Myanmar and sky diving over Lake Taupo in New Zealand.
Favourite places I've been
My hot picks
-
Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, Golden Triangle, Northern Thailand
Beautiful hotel located on the border of Laos and Myanmar where three countries come together - The Golden Triangle.The Anantara is home to over 20 elephants and the highlight of staying at this hotel is walking with these incredible giants in the forest. -
Six Senses Yao Noi, Koh Yao Noi, Thailand
Located in the beautiful Phang Nga bay. This hotels offers a barefoot luxury set amongst the rainforest with views out to the little local islands - a picture postcard view.
My top tips
-
Try to travel outside of peak times, this is going to give you the best experience of the country with fewer crowds.
-
Try the local cuisine, this can be enjoyed on a culinary tour. Your local guide will take you through the winding streets on tuk tuk where you can sample different delicacies at the bustling markets.
