As many stories like this go, I was inspired to travel from a very young age. When my mum took me to Jamaica for the first time, I soon found myself running around with bare feet, cutting my toes on the red bauxite rocks, or trying to climb up coconut trees, with absolutely no regard for my own safety. I fancied myself as an explorer - and watched The Wild Thornberrys way too much! Soon after this, my Grandma took me to Venice with her, and thus my love affair with travelling was consecrated. I decided that my dream job would be to become a pilot (ranking far above singer, teacher, news reader...and astronaut). I kept a list of all the places I would fly to, and begged my mum to take me to travel agent shops on the way back from school, so I could pick up the latest brochures. I got in trouble at primary school because I would plant huge red circles around countries in the geography atlas books, and between me and you, I never returned some of those books.

I may have grown out of my tomboyish dungarees and my tree-climbing tendencies, but what hasn't changed is that I still make those lists of the places I want to visit, and I’ve now crossed quite a few off!  I can confirm that I am, in fact, not a pilot (shock). It turns out you have to be good at maths for that! Out of all the occupations I considered, I actually did become a secondary school teacher, using my 13 weeks of holiday a year to explore. After 6 years of teaching, I decided that the only way I was going to fulfil my travel dreams was to leave and do it as much as I can. 

By sharing my trips through storytelling, and capturing the magic and essence of everywhere I go in my visual content as best as I can, I really hope you're inspired to take whatever budget you have and go somewhere new.
