  • Why I love working at Culture Trip?

    It's always nice to work with people you actually like and I love the fact as a brand we tell it how it is in every sense. Not many travel brands truly look behind the polish and not many brands really get to know the people. As a team we are allowed the freedom to work wherever we want in the world and I love the trust in that. As a travel brand it also makes perfect sense.

Travel top tip

My golden rule as a foodie: if the restaurant is packed and the menu is only in the local language, you're in the right spot.

  • Favourite travel memory

    When in Tenerife I hiked Anaga, swam at a black-sand beach, and learned to surf, all in one day.

  • Number one packing essential?

    Earplugs. I'm not letting a noisy street kill my holiday mood, so they go everywhere with me.

  • Hobbies outside travel?

    Pottery, always. When I'm not at the wheel, I'm at the gym or out on my bike, and lately I've got into photography too.

  • 3 favourite places visited?

    Fes, Morocco; Palermo, Sicily; and everywhere I've been in Spain

  • Why I love working at Culture Trip?

    I've always thought curiosity is my best design tool, and this job gives me a whole world to be curious about!
