Doug’s travel career started by selling cruises to worldwide destinations before joining Discover the World in 2013 where he became part of the Nordic team. Doug has a real passion for wildlife and has been able to enjoy some wonderful experiences in Canada and Alaska and has been lucky enough to spot bears and whales on his travels.

Doug loves Iceland because of the spectacular scenery and his favourite part is the Snæfellsnes Peninsula where he has enjoyed visiting the volcanic craters, hot springs, rugged coastlines and of course the opportunity to spot plenty of rrcas.

Doug's Top Travel Experiences

• Getting off the beaten track and relaxing in the Landbrotalaug Hot Pot

• Snorkelling in the clearest glacier waters at Silfra
• Seeing a massive pod of orcas in Grundarfjordur, Iceland
