Traveling is in my blood and from an early age I traveled through Europe, USA and Asia. A visit to Cairo for my 18th birthday present kick started my love of the Middle East and ultimately led me to moving to live and work there. My passion still is in the Middle East but I have traveled all over Asia for both vacations and work and love India, Nepal and Bhutan and further afield Japan!

Having lived, worked and traveled in the Middle East, visiting every country from Yemen in the south, to Palestine in the north and everything in between. My favorite country in the region remains Oman due to its amazing diversity from beaches to mountains and desert. A country of amazing people with history and culture, wildlife and incredible natural beauty.

Over the past years I have traveled extensively through Asia, Africa, Middle East, Americas and Europe. India is another country I love and I have visited annually for over ten years constantly learning about this incredible country. It is a place which fills and excites the senses thanks to its culture, sights, vibrant colors, amazing food, not forgetting its incredible wildlife.

I have also traveled to Bhutan and find this a really unique country in Asia with wonderful people and amazing culture.  Spend as long here as possible and visit different valleys to see the diversity of this amazing country. In the India subcontinent I have also visited Nepal which makes for a wonderful vacation for those interested in history, walking and trekking and wildlife.

Finally in Asia I love Japan! I have visited Japan since a young child when I lived in Asia and have spent time working and visiting this amazing country. Spend time exploring as much of this country with major cities and national parks and make sure you include a stay in a traditional Ryokan.

With Scott Dunn, I am surrounded by people who share this love of travel.

My hot picks

My top tips

  • At the Alila in Jabal Al Akhdar in Oman wake up early morning and take a village walk through the terraces and try the local rose water. Early morning it is quiet and peaceful and you have amazing views of the canyon and mountains.

  • At Ras Al Jinz in Oman, book the early morning turtle walk - most people book the evening walk which can be crowded - few people want to get up at 5am - you can be alone on the beach with only an expert and the turtles!

  • When staying at Old Harbor Cochin - visit the Kashi Art Cafe owned by the hotel for great coffee, snacks and art work!

  • During a visit to Windermere Estate - join the tea tasting ceremony at Windermere and try the Cardamon Tea, it's amazing!

  • Book a massage at the Spa at the Coconut Lagoon in Kerala - the perfect remedy after you have traveled in the car for 6 hours from Munnar!

  • At the end of a long day sightseeing in Kathmandu return to the haven of peace and tranquility at Dwarikas and sit in the courtyard with a refreshing glass of iced Nepalese tea in warm months or a mug of hot tea, lemon and fresh ginger when its cold

  • At Tigers Mountain Pokhara Lodge veryone will tell you to wake early but do ! The view from the swimming pool at sunrise is worth it - if there is no wind you can get the most incredible photograph with the Mountain range reflected in the swimming pool
