About Me

I've worked in and around the travel industry for 19 years, as cabin crew with British Airways and blogging about all my adventures on my website for 12 years. I love road trips, surfing, outdoor adventures and family travel. I've continued to travel since having children. My eldest Emily has been travelling to far-flung destinations with my husband Matt and I since she was 4 months old and Jack our youngest has also joined our adventures. My favourite child friendly destinations are Bali, Italy and California. I'm also a freelance writer, creating content for travel and lifestyle companies.
