Travel SpecialistMy love for travel started when I first went to Spain on a family holiday as a teenager. I was amazed at different culture, beautiful architecture, stunning landscapes delicious food and friendly locals. Since then, I have visited over 30 countries, and I constantly plan new adventures! Travel brings me joy of exploring new and different world to the one we live in. It gives me adrenaline of finding places that not many people have been to. And finally, it gives me huge admiration and appreciation of the planet that we all call home. As an animal lover, seeing wildlife on my travels is the biggest joy and an opportunity to learn about some truly fascinating creatures.
I travel for...
Adventure
I love to push myself to do things I would not normally do when I’m travelling. Some of my highlights are diving into waterfalls in Mexico, ziplining over a lake in Portugal, white water rafting in Costa Rica, climbing an active volcano in Chile and swimming with sharks in Belize. I love the rush of adrenaline that comes with these types of activities and that feeling of accomplishment.
Nature
I always try to see the wildlife wherever I am, and I’d love to do more conservation projects like the one I did with sea turtles in Costa Rica. Seeing tiny turtles making their first journey down to the sea to fight for survival is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever done, and that image will stay with me forever.
Photography
Capturing a special moment or a stunning landscape on your camera makes you more aware of your surroundings and means these memories can last forever. I think I may be a little camera-obsessed, however, so I need to master the art of quality over quantity.
