Travel is strange. When you place your memories side by side, the effect can feel like a kaleidoscope. Road tripping from San Francisco to Las Vegas, skiing in Whistler, camping in the Tuscan Hills, kayaking along the rivers of Dordogne. They flicker past.

And these were only early journeys – first steps. Later, I’d travel through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam. What I learnt here – beyond a lot of resilience – was the real beauty of freedom. You can just go.

All of this led me to Black Tomato. As a Relationship Manager, I get to hear inspiring accounts from our travelers about the journeys they’ve taken with us – and about the trips they’re beginning to plot. It’s our job to nurture these ideas – and these relationships. To spin the kaleidoscope. To listen closely. To help. Ultimately, this allows me to talk about travel from dawn to dusk. It surely doesn’t get better than that.
