AGED 22, I bought an around-the- world ticket and set off to see what our world had to offer. I visited Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Bali, Borneo, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, but Thailand was my first love: the people, culture, food, diving and its diverse environments. This journey ignited my passion for travel. n Who do you follow on social media? INSTAGRAM is my guilty pleasure and a source of constant inspiration for ‘My Best Life’. I follow vegans, photographers, travel bloggers, luxury travel brands, yogis, my agent partners and fitness gurus. And my friends, of course! n What is your all-time favourite travel experience? EACH of the places I have been lucky enough to visit has struck a chord for different reasons. If I have to choose, Rwanda was truly life changing. I went with huge excitement about the gorillas. And from the moment we touched down I knew there was also somuch more. This country and its people blew me away. It was a magical, unforgettable experience and I cannot recommend it highly enough. n What makes travelling with TCS World Travel so special?
