I've always had a great connection with travel. My father founded and ran Vacation Work, a travel book publishing company so travel books from ‘Work your Way around the World’ to 'The Kibbutz Volunteer’ and the pioneering Travellers Survival Kit series were always littered around our house. I was also an amateur jockey for some years so I guess the thrill of crossing terrain is instilled in me.

Skiing has always been a favourite holiday of mine. I was lucky enough to learn from a young age and to date have skied a number of resorts across the Alps, Rocky Mountains and Fitzsimmons Range. There’s something about the fresh mountain air, first tracks in the snow and a vin chaud at the end of the day that you really can’t beat. I hope that our knowledge and expertise will enable others to share the same passion and love for the slopes that we do.
