My love for travel properly started at 18 when I spent a year in Canada and the US on a student working visa. Found myself in beautiful British Columbia and immediately fell in love with the country. The scenery on Vancouver Island, Vancouver and then up in to the mountains with places such as Lake Louise – just stunning.

After University I went on to explore further. This time to Thailand, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. Vietnam was so interesting with such a diverse experience from crazy Ho Chi Min City to the beautiful coast line further North.

Once my student travels were over, I’ve been lucky enough to work in Finance for companies such as Virgin Atlantic which have allowed me to continue to explore Africa, China and Japan. Now at Rickshaw Travel it will be time to look to Central and South America which have always been on the wish list.

Education

In the future I am looking forward to going to Central and South America which have always been on the wish list. And of course other places slightly closer to home. Iceland definitely has to be a trip to take in the near future! I love planning trips these days to encourage the love of travel for my teenagers too. It’s such an education to learn and explore the world.

Scenery

There are so many beautiful places to see. I love a holiday that involves both relaxing time and then exploring. I’ve recently been to some amazing caves where we swam in the waters there. The surrounding coastline was so dramatic and beautiful.
