Get to know me
My love of travel began with a solo trip to Australia when I was 21, where I got my first taste of the life on the road brings! I continued to travel extensively, both in my personal life and throughout my career in travel working for Thomas Cook. My favourite memories abroad include island-hopping the idyllic Yasawa Islands in Fiji, exploring the prehistoric landscape of Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park in New Zealand and sledging down La Roche-Noire mountain in the French Alps.
Wild swimming is my favourite way to unwind, a hobby that has led me into Scottish Lochs during the winter months and breaking ice to enter my local rivers when they freeze over!

My top 5 Antarctic experiences
- Feeling like a child at Christmas as I walked on untouched snow at the start of the Antarctic season in November
- Witnessing penguins in their natural habitat. I found the wildlife experiences in Antarctica breathtaking
- Doing the polar plunge – as an avid wild swimmer, this was a dream come true for me and an experience I will never forget
- Experiencing just how beautiful an environment made up of just a handful of colours can be
- Learning to live in the moment and connecting to the world on a deeper level by appreciating both the strength and vulnerability of nature
