What’s your favourite travel story?

Ask me for a favourite destination, and I'll struggle to give you just one.

But if I'm honest about the trip that changed me, it was a solo trek to Ghandruk Village in Nepal. There's something about walking those trails with no distractions. Just me, the mountains, and my own thoughts. It taught me things about myself I didn't know I needed to learn. I discovered a quiet kind of strength in myself, and fell completely in love with the natural world. I came home a little different, and that trip is the reason I do what I do today.

What is the one thing you don’t travel without?

Always in my suitcase: My glasses and contact lenses. First thing packed, every single time. I've learned the hard way that no view is worth missing if I overlook the basics!

Pro Travel Tip!

The best advice I give any traveller is to embrace wherever you are. Every country, every culture, every person you meet who sees the world differently from you has something to teach you. The more I travel, the smaller and more connected the world feels, and that's a gift worth chasing.
