Background
I made a move to Travel Nation in 2011 following eight years at Trailfinders. With friends already working here, I knew that at Travel Nation, I would be able to share my own travel experiences while helping others get what they want from their adventures.
I grew up in the seaside resort of Whitley Bay, and living on the coast remains essential for me (and the south is considerably warmer)! Travel was always on the agenda for me, so after university, I headed off on with my backpack and came back a few years later, a little skinnier and less pale than when I left. Since then my destination choices have been inspired by wildlife and mountains, though things have changed somewhat since the arrival of my little girl in 2012.
Originally from
Whitley Bay (Newcastle).
Where did you spend your student days?
Mainly at The Dry Dock pub (working as well as playing hard) just over the road from Leeds Met University where I studied Business Management.
Travel industry experience
Following my three-year world trip, I joined Trailfinders in Newcastle, where I spent four years until they announced they were going to open a shop in Brighton. I always said I would move to Brighton if they did! I worked in the shop for another four years specialising in Business Class and Polar travel.
Business class experience
My six years specialising in round the world Business Class and First Class travel for both corporate and leisure travellers has given me the insight required to get the right ticket for you. If a flat bed is essential, the Chauffeur car service and lounge access make all the difference, or you just want the extra comfort for that long journey I am happy to work out something to suit your requirements.
