One of t he advant ages of working for a t ravel company is t hat you get t o see t he world.
I’ve been in t his indust ry for about 20 years, and have been t o places I wouldn’t ot herwise
have visit ed. I was sent t o Russia wit h a group of t eachers on an inspect ion visit . We saw
Lenin’s t omb and t he Kremlin, marvelled at Cat herine’s Palace (did you know it was
designed by a Scot sman?), went t o t he Bolshoi ballet t hen drank vodka and at e caviar – a
t ruly Russian experience. I’m now widely t ravelled wit h t he experience t o help schools
choose t he best resort for t heir needs.
Favourit e cit y: An easy choice as Rome is t he cit y of romance. T he Vat ican, Roman Forum
and Colosseum are all places of hist ory and myst ery. When in Rome, make sure you visit
t he T revi Fount ain. Don't forget t o t hrow a euro in and make a wish!
About me: I love t o ski, read and salsa-dance. I once worked out in a gym wit h Prince
William.
