I guess I must be slightly gypsy – I’ve always had the traveling bug from a young age. As a child growing up, my parents had their own business, so holidays were fairly non-existent. I recall when I was about 17, a couple of friends were heading to Club Noumea, I liked the sound of that. Within a couple of weeks, I had my ticket and passport; I ended up going solo in the room – which may have been a turning point for me. I realised I loved being around others but it was also great to be on my own. After a week, I returned with a passion of travel to meet people from different cultures, and to experience so much more.

I had been bitten…(by the travel bug)
