Managing a portfolio of destinations ranging from southern Europe to Central Asia I have designed, developed and supervised operations for a broad range of adventure holidays across the globe. I have extensive experience of creative copywriting and picture research; providing text and images for brochures and promotional literature.
My expertise includes product development and operational management of activity holidays for the following adventure tour operators:
Exodus has over 35 years experience as one of the UK’s leading adventure and activity tour operators; specialising in walking, cycling, cultural and wildlife holidays in over 90 countries. I promoted and managed small group and independent holidays in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Russia, China and Mongolia. www.exodus.co.uk
The Russia Experience was the first UK company to offer adventure travel in the former USSR; utilising Trans-Siberian and Silk Road rail routes to transport clients across Russia and into Mongolia, China and Central Asia. I created and developed activities in remote areas of Siberia, Mongolia and ancient cities along the Silk Route. www.trans-siberian.co.uk
Quark Expeditions are the market leaders in polar expeditions. Their fleet ranges from small adventure ships to a helicopter-equipped icebreaker that ventures through ice packed seas to the North Pole. I was based in the UK office liaising with sales agents worldwide. www.quarkexpeditions.com
