Your dream holiday is just a phone call away

After representing England at youth level for high jump and playing semi-professional football, I decided to go into travel as my mother has worked in travel for as long as I can remember. I've always loved other cultures, so it just pulled me in.

I started at a local travel agency at 18, selling beautiful destinations and getting to visit some incredible places. I took two sabbaticals to experience other countries, and two amazing experiences through Asia really assured my passion for travel. Since then, I haven't looked back.

Q&A with Our Expert Scott

How many years have you worked in the travel industry?

I’ve worked in travel for 17 years.

Which destianation/s do you specialise in?

I specialise in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Middle East.

What’s at the top of your travel bucket list?

I’ve always wanted to visit Uganda.

What do you love about working in travel?

My job allows me to travel and see some incredible destinations and hotels. I get to view some stunning resorts to offer the right hotel for the right client. Helping clients create their dream holiday is lovely.

What’s your best childhood holiday memory?

In Grenada, jumping off the edge off a waterfall into the beautiful water below.

What was your best ever trip?

My first time in Cambodia. I was travelling for a while and went over to Cambodia from Thailand. I fell in love with the country, the people were amazing, the stunning beaches were not expected, just beautiful. So much history and culture. I ended up returning four times in four years.

What’s your hidden gem?

It may be repetitive but again: Cambodia! Especially the islands off Cambodia. Song Saa and Koh Rong have incredible beaches. Truly breathtaking.

What was your most awe-inspiring moment travelling?

While staying Pai in the north of Thailand, living in a tent on a rice paddy field building an amazing wooden, open-air hostel. I absolutely loved it - working with the locals, making friends and using my hands. There was incredible weather while there, lightning and thunderstorms, plus hard graft in the heat, then we stayed there once it was completed.

What one item do you always take with you?

It used to be an iPod, now it’s my iPhone. I always make sure I have my holiday playlist – it’s been the same one since I was 17 years old.

What’s your top travel tip?

Don’t always stick to an itinerary. Take each day as it comes and visit places you wouldn’t normally visit. The best places I visited have always been out of my comfort zone or not the norm, these have always been my best memories.

What’s your biggest blunder abroad?

Attempting to ride my motorbike in Laos in torrential rain, with main visibility next to nothing. Scary times!

My Top Recommendations

What’s your favourite destination?

There are two destinations for different reasons, I love and have always loved Southeast Asia, favourite place would be Cambodia. I had the best experience and some incredible memories here. Cambodia is an extremely underrated destination, just stunning in every way. As for family holidays, my best stays have always been the Maldives. There’s so much choice nowadays and all ages are happy - my boy plays on the beach and in the water non-stop.

What was your most recent work trip?

I visited Doha back in October 2024. It was my first taste of Qatar and I loved it. They have an amazing standard of service and some incredible dining. I highly recommend Four Seasons and Marsa Malaz, my two favourites.

Do you have a favourite hotel?

My favourite hotel - this is a tough one. It would have to be Song Saa for me. It’s a private island on the Cambodian coast, Cambodia’s version of the Maldives.
