Memorable Experiences
"My most memorable travel experience was probably touring around Sri Lanka visiting the Cultural Triangle, Kandy, Tea Country and the south coast of the island. Sri Lanka is unlike any other destination I have visited and I was overwhelmed by the hospitality of the people, the culture and the breath-taking landscape. Sri Lanka is such a diverse island - you can have breakfast in the cool and mountainous scenery of Tea Country and by early afternoon be sitting on a tropical beach with a cocktail in your hand! The highlight of the trip though was visiting Minneriya National Park and getting up close to herds of wild elephants, including some very adorable babies."
Favourite Places
"It would be a close call between the Grenadines and the south coast of Sri Lanka - I love long, unspoilt beaches, and the beaches in both these destinations are some of the most beautiful I have come across in my travels."
Where next?
"There are so many places I would like to go, but at the top of my list is probably South Africa. The scenery looks amazing and I love the style of the traditional winelands hotels - there's something very romantic about those old fashioned country lodges."
Top Travel Tips
"Make sure you are well prepared! Do your research before you travel so that when you arrive at your destination, you can make the most of your time there. If there is something specific you want to do whilst you are away, I think it is always worth checking whether you can pre-book it to make sure you don't miss out. It is also worth checking any visa or entry requirements for your destination well in advance to make sure you don't have any nasty surprises just before you are due to travel."
Three things I couldn’t travel without
"My phone (mostly for taking pictures), a good book and sun cream as I can't be in the sun for more than 10 minutes without it!"
