I first caught the travel bug in my early twenties when I joined a friend to explore Mexico and Cuba. I was instantly hooked by the thrill of discovering new places, meeting new people and learning a new language. That early spark of wanderlust led to me leaving the UK for good and setting up home in Spain, Morocco, Hungary and now Czechia.

A bit of a nomad at heart, my favourite way to travel is to choose a destination and make it home for as long as possible – be it a weekend, a week or a month. I love settling into a totally new neighbourhood, finding a go-to coffee shop and local market.

When I’m not travelling, I’m based in Prague, where I write travel content. Working in travel means my bucket list is ever-changing (and growing) but right now Explore’s Mongolia Explorer trip is firmly at the top. My most recent adventure was to Japan, where I fell in love with the laidback energy of Osaka – I can’t wait to get back to explore more off the beaten path.
