Fiordland penguins encountered
After studying Travel & Tourism at college, my first job was working at a very busy Heathrow airport for three years as a Passenger Services Agent. I then moved to Lanzarote for a couple of years and worked as a representative and in the hospitality industry. I have now worked in the travel industry for 23 years and during this time have extensively travelled throughout Canada, South-east Asia, Australia, New Zealand and, most recently, Costa Rica.
I have also been lucky enough to experience an Arctic Voyage, in Svalbard, which was an absolute travel highlight!
Wildlife is a huge passion for me, and I have encountered a huge variety! From grizzly bears and wolves, in Canada, to kangaroos and koalas in Australia to sloths, tapir and toucans in Costa Rica!
