About Alex

My love of travel started in my gap year and by the time I came back I had the travel bug. Experiencing different cultures and visiting fascinating countries made me realise I wanted to travel the world. I feel extremely lucky that I have been on a couple of trips with Abercrombie & Kent which I will never forget.
