Travel Experience

I relentlessly pursue my passion for travel and I love the fact that holidays and travel turns everyone into the greatest story teller, lasting memories which makes you richer and allows you to share and inspire others. My obsession for travel started a long time ago when I worked in radio which involved giving holidays away on-air as part of the competition and sending prize winners off to various locations. Shortly after I moved to London and headed up the Promotions Department at Virgin Radio. As Virgin Radio was a National Radio Station, the prizes were bigger and the holidays were even more elaborate and exotic offering once in a lifetime experiences. In addition, I was often involved in creating (and being lucky enough to go on) awe inspiring trips for our biggest clients. One of the most memorable trips included taking some of our biggest clients to see the amazing \Killers\" for a home coming gig at The Hard Rock in Vegas followed by a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. I even took a group of prize winners to Palma and hosted the trip with the famous Suggs from Madness (who was a Presenter on Virgin at the time) and another trip saw me involved in The Chris Evan\'s Breakfast Show coming live from the Guinness Brewery in Dublin. Much of my work in radio had travel at the centre of it
