Born in the Midlands – Birmingham to be precise. Fortunately my dad was in the navy so I never developed the Brummie accent.
Grew up mostly in Cornwall and Somerset. Happy days!

Hello Lesley!
My name is Ian, and I am a tourism and travel student at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario. I have been reading your blog and it’s so exciting to think I’ll be part of this industry in only a few short months!
I am working on a project now about travel agencies. If you wouldn’t mind, I would like to ask you for a few short sentences about how you feel about working for a travel agency. I am planning to put the quotes into a presentation of mine for my “Career Planning” class.
Thank you so much! I’m enjoying the blog!
