Great Whites sharks encountered whilst diving
I have spent over 30 years in the airline and travel industry, mainly in finance and commercial roles. I joined Discover the World after a 2-year career break working in the charity sector as Chairman of the ‘Bombolulu School of Promise’ – a school for underprivileged children in Mombasa.
I have a real passion for worldwide travel, particularly if I can combine it with my love for adventurous and adrenalin-fuelled activities.
