My love of Asia began after a month touring China and Thailand with my family. Since then I have been back to Asia several times, visiting Sri Lanka, Laos and Malaysia to name a few. I love wildlife and some of my favorite experiences include seeing orangutans in Borneo, elephants in Sri Lanka and even the bat caves in Cambodia!
Responsible travel is really important to me, so when I travel I particularly like to stay in eco-conscious properties that are doing their bit for the environment and offer unique and responsible local tours to really get under the skin of the place you are visiting.
Outside of Asia some of my other favorite travel memories include spending five exciting weeks exploring beautiful New Zealand in a campervan, taking in the incredible scenery hiking in the coffee region of Colombia and swimming with magnificent manta rays in the Maldives.
The list of places I want to visit is ever growing, next on my list is a visit to Rwanda to see the gorillas, I would also love to explore more of Latin America.

A return trip to Indonesia would be at the top of my list, to explore the more remote islands the country has to offer, and of course a visit to see Komodo dragons. Trips to Japan and India are also on my wish list!
