I’m passionate about all things travel, and have been a VIP travel agent for 14 years, and a cruise specialist for 3 years now. Before that, I worked as a holiday rep for 5 years in Spain, and as a retail manager on various cruise ships all across the world for 4 years, which is when I met my lovely Wife, who worked as a hair-stylist on-board. I love sharing my travel experience with others, and I’m always keen to learn from fellow travellers too. East Yorkshire is now my home, and my home office is a hive of cruise-booking activity! My Wife has her own hair salon in the area, so we’re very-much settled down now, with a crazy rescue-cat called Spice to complete the family!
Interesting fact – whilst I was a Retail Manager on cruise ships, I also became a certified lifeboat commander!
