As a naturally curious person, I enjoy exploring parts of the world that few others have ever seen. If no-one asks, ‘why are you going there?’ about my next trip, then I’m not interested. In my day-to-day life, I enjoy understanding how things work, and the feeling you get after solving a technical problem that’s been plaguing you for days is second-to-none. I have worked in digital marketing for over ten years, specialising in the more technical side of things, so that might have something to do with it.
As Digital Marketing Manager, I’m responsible for keeping our website ship-shape, to encourage new and existing travelers to feel inspired about the world(s) we can show them. Whether that’s making sure we appear when you’re searching for travel, launching an email campaign, or keeping our website up to date. One day I’ll be digging into the depths with website analytics, and the next I’m sourcing images of koalas for our Australia content. It’s a full spectrum.
As a full-blown animal lover, with a cat who likes to occasionally step on my keyboard, I have often dreamt of opening my own safari lodge somewhere in Africa or becoming a wildlife photographer in Australia. Watch this space.
'I'll never forget my very first safari'
A closer look at South AfricaI’ll never forget my very first safari experience. I was on a walking safari in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, South Africa, when our tracker and guide spotted three rhinos in the distance. We silently crept through the bushes and ducked behind a tree to observe them at a safe distance of twenty metres or so. But then they started moving in our direction.
Not wanting to draw attention to ourselves, we stayed completely still as they got closer until they were just five metres away, surrounding us. I was on the edge of the group, so I would be the first one they’d hit if they decided to charge, and I had to fight the intense urge to run. So, there we stayed until our guides clicked their fingers and tapped the tree – sound enough to send the animals running in the opposite direction to everyone’s relief. If you want to see what primal fear looks like, just ask me for the video.
