Top Travel Tips: Do your research before you travel, get an idea of what you want to see and do so that you don't miss out on anything - you may not get that opportunity again.
Three things I couldn’t travel without: Camera, swimwear and good company.
"I have been lucky enough to have been visiting the Caribbean from a young age as my family were keen sailors and would charter a catamaran in the Grenadines and BVI's - this is definitely where my love for the Caribbean began! Until now my career has been very different due to my passion for working with horses. I was a professional show rider and groom for many top teams, and was competing all over the country. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time working in the Equestrian business I wanted a change in career. When it came to deciding on a move, my love of travel was a deciding factor. It seemed only natural to join the team here at Tropic Breeze when the opportunity arose."
Memorable Experience: My most memorable experience would have to be bathing and feeding the elephants at a sanctuary in Thailand a few years ago!
Favourite Place: Either Barbados or Bequia.
Where next? Africa - I'd love nothing more than to go on safari!
Top Tips: If in the Caribbean, go sailing for the day! In my opinion, you cannot beat the feeling of the warm breeze, cocktail in hand and sound of reggae in the background.
Three things I cannot travel without: My phone, sunglasses and sun cream.
I grew up in Devon exploring as much of the coast and the moors as I could. I have always been active and I love sports. Growing up I was very lucky to be able to compete all over the place. This ignited my love of exploring and after university I moved to Italy and worked in a chalet nestled in the stunning italian mountains. When the season finished I worked in Paris teaching physical education for three years, where I was very keen to be able to take my students around the world competing and exploring. I recently moved back to Devon as all the best adventures lead home and starting work at Tropic Breeze has opened my eyes to some wonderful places that I would love to visit in the future!
Memorable Experiences: working as a chef in Italy during the ski season, I never got used to the stunning glittery mountains and the bluest skies.
Favourite Places: I love exploring small villages with cobbled streets and character, I also love discovering all kinds of new wildlife whether that's in the rainforest or under the ocean.
Where Next? I would love to visit Grenada, I would get straight into the sea and explore the underwater sculpture park amongst the wildlife and explore the rainforest.
Top Travel Tip: researching before you fly is the best way of ensuring you make the most of everything on offer. Also get involved in everything, even if it feels a bit silly, get stuck in and you won't regret it.
Three things I couldn’t travel without: suncream, sunglasses, headphones
My passion for travel started at a young age as I was lucky to travel to Greece and other parts of Europe frequently to visit family. After exploring new places, cultures, and languages I was determined to turn my passion for travel into my dream job. My love of the ocean led to a career as a dive travel consultant, specialising in bespoke liveabord and shore based trips worldwide. After a break from the travel industry I realised this is my true passion and I was lucky enough to join the Tropic Breeze team!
Memorable experiences: "Quad biking in Spetsas, Greece, zip lining in Montezuma, Costa Rica, and I won't forget scuba diving with curious Oceanic white tip Sharks in Egypt in a hurry!"
Favourite places: "Wow this is difficult! I’d have to say the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, truly one of the most beautiful and relatively untouched places in the world. It alone makes up 2.5 percent of the world's biodiversity."
Where to next: "Grenada - if can tear myself away from the beautiful Grand Anse Beach, I'd love to visit the underwater sculpture park and explore the rainforest, especially Annadale falls. After that, Petit St Vincent in The Grenadines to explore the stunning local dive sites which are teeming with abundant marine life."
Top Travel Tip: "Take a phrasebook and use it learn a few local phrases. Pack a tennis ball in your hand luggage, great for relieving stiff and sore muscles - roll it over your shoulders, lower back, legs, and the bottoms of your feet to help get your blood flowing again."
Can't live without: "Sunglasses, flip flops and a scarf, which makes for a great blanket if you get cold on the plane."
Having been very fortunate to visit many amazing countries with my family growing up, I am keen to further explore the world and working at Tropic Breeze has opened my eyes to some more wonderful adventures that are yet to be had.
Memorable Experiences: My first holiday without my parents, I went to Barcelona with a friend and ticked off all the typical tourist attractions whilst immersing ourselves into the culture.
Favourite Places: Travelling around Vancouver Island with family was amazing! Managed to see some whales and brown bears too. Also, Lake Como was stunning.
Where Next? I’d love to travel around Australia and New Zealand, but Paris is next in the diary!
Top Travel Tip: Even if the sun isn’t visible, you still need to wear sun cream!
Three things I couldn’t travel without: Phone, a hairband, and good company.
