Business career

A fantastic adventure, dicovering the world and its cultures
Travelling the world was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my wife and me - a dream brought to life. It took courage to leave careers in full flight, but before we started a family, it was a risk that had to be taken. From Cairo’s minarets to: the game parks of Africa; the 5500m Annapurna pass in the Himalayas; the beating heart of Calcutta; the jungles and paradise islands of South East Asia; the lost city of the Incas; the mighty Amazon and many other incredible experiences, this journey broadened our minds and gave us a love of cultural diversity.
