It's fair to say I've been around the globe a few times, spending short and long spells in major cities, exotic destinations and culturally different locations. I worked for British Airways as cabin crew for many years, and as part of their communications team reporting for BA TV I also delivered presentations to various groups and organisations at travel industry events.

I've been around the world enough times to know the do's and don'ts of safe travel and can act as a guest travel expert on television, radio and in print – either with a regular slot or reacting to a breaking news story.
