How did you get involved in travel?

"From a young age, my love for travel was shaped by childhood holidays along the rugged coastlines of Spain and Portugal. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for discovering the stories, landscapes, and cultures that make each destination unique. Following my studies, I found my way into the travel industry, driven by a desire to help others experience the same sense of wonder I felt as a traveller. I was fortunate to begin my career with a travel agency specialising in Europe travel, where I had the opportunity to start to learn about the industry as well as being inspired to explore Europe first-hand."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"A unique travel experience that I will never forget is hiking Iceland’s Golden Circle during a blizzard which felt like stepping into another world. I will never forget making my way down the snow covered path to discover Gullfoss, when we approached the skys cleared and left an incredible sight. At Þingvellir, I stood between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, surrounded by snow-dusted cliffs and the hush of ancient history. The storm was a part of the adventure, turning the journey into something wild, raw, and unforgettable."
