Why did you join the community?

Travel Professional for 15 years. Love our travel community.

What is your favorite travel destination?

I don't have one favourite travel destination. For me, it's the experiences that make a place memorable. Some highlights include hot air ballooning over Cappadocia in Turkey, swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, abseiling sea cliffs in Malta with my five-year-old daughter, and enjoying husky and reindeer rides through snowy forests in Finland. I've visited Bali 33 times, making it my most-visited destination, so if I had to choose a favourite, Bali would probably be it.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

I dream of seeing the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, going on safari in Africa, and exploring the Stans. I think I’ll also tick off Korea and Japan this year. So many incredible places at the top of the list, and I love how travel always keeps evolving.

What was your first travel job?

My first travel job was in Ipoh with a hotel stay that included a 2-night family stay, theme park tickets, and a massage. I was only about six months into my travel blog at the time, so it felt like a huge milestone.

My first big memorable press trip came through WTM in London, where I visited five Greek islands fully hosted. I’ll also never forget Sri Lanka, travelling with around 50 of the world’s top travel bloggers for a 7-day experience, also secured through WTM.

What do you want to learn more about?

Currently mastering SEO, AI and Hosted Trips. Would love to learn more about affiliate marketing and more hosted trips.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Connection. Perspective. Wonder.
