Why you love working in Travel?
I have such a passion for travel, I have always loved being part of a ‘Travel Family’ it’s such a resilient business, especially in the world we live in today. Working as part of a great team that strives for greatness in every aspect of the role. I have also been lucky enough to travel to some amazing place with my job which is a great perk of the job but also necessary I feel to be able to feed back this destination information to our customers.
Where is your specialist area and why?
“My Specialist areas are Canada and The USA, along with the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. I love everything about Canada and the USA from the wildlife and the scenery to the most famous landmarks and the garishness of certain cities.
