Life before Swoop

I was born and raised in Suffolk but have also lived in Leeds, London, Australia, Cape Town and now Bristol! I worked at an adventure travel company for 9 years before I joined Swoop and have been lucky enough to experience some of the most amazing places our world has to offer.

Travel remains one of my biggest passions, and I now get to enjoy it with my partner and young son.

My Antarctic experience

I was blown away by the sheer scale, remoteness and unspoilt natural beauty of Antarctica. Watching icebergs float by from the cabin window, seeing whales from the zodiac boats and kayaking with the penguins are moments I will never forget. 

Day to day at Swoop

As the Customer Experience Team Manager, my role is to help, prepare, support and excite you for what will hopefully be one of your most memorable and life-changing adventures.

At Swoop, we understand what you will need and the questions you may have; we have a great team here and someone will always know the answer.

Why I love travelling

I love how travel changes you after every trip. It broadens your mind, challenges your views and breaks down stereotypes. I have always been a big fan of the remotest parts of the world – the harder to get to the better.
