What has been your favourite holiday you’ve ever taken?


My favourite holiday was a Lapland and multi-centre skiing trip with my wife and son. Sharing the magic of Lapland through his eyes, followed by unforgettable days on the slopes together, made it a truly special family experience we’ll treasure forever.

Do you have a travel tip or hack that always makes a holiday smoother?

We start every holiday with a stay in the airport lounge. This not only sets the mood of the trip but ensures everyone is fuelled and hydrated foe the flight ahead.

If you could recommend one hidden gem or must-visit place, where would it be?

Dubai is a hidden gem for families, offering an incredible range of child-friendly experiences alongside luxury. From waterparks and beaches to desert adventures and immersive attractions, it’s a destination where both kids and adults are genuinely amazed.

What's your favourite travel snack, guilty-pleasure holiday read, or holiday cocktail?

My favourite travel drink is Turkish coffee. It’s rich, comforting, and always feels like a small moment of culture and calm, whether enjoyed in a bustling city or during a quiet break while travelling.

Beach lounger, city explorer, or off-the-beaten-track adventurer - which best describes you?

I’m definitely a beach resort man because it offers the perfect balance for our family, especially with an active son. The beach gives him space to burn off energy while allowing us to relax, making it an easy and enjoyable choice for everyone.

If you weren't working in travel, what would you be doing instead?

If I wasn’t working in travel, I’d likely be doing something that still supports a family-focused lifestyle. Creating balance, meaningful experiences, and flexibility would remain important to me.
