I began my career as a graphic designer working in Scottish travel, managing a website of 100 best self catering cottages in Scotland. I spent the next 6 years designing brochures, magazines and websites, both freelance and for various publishing companies. Since August 2023 I have been a graphic designer at If Only. Working with some of the most renowned tourist boards, hotels, cruise lines and airlines in the world is a real privilege, but most importantly, I’m lucky enough to be a member of a great marketing team.
My favourite hotel to stay at:
On board Celebrity Ascent. Great choice of restaurants, some of the most attentive staff you will ever meet. I’d recommend booking the spa for the duration of your cruise. There’s nothing better after a day of exploring a new city than to put your feet up in Ascent's luxury spa.
My favourite place to travel:
New Zealand. We travelled across the country, beginning our trip by visiting the North Island for a week: exploring Auckland, the tropical countryside, Hobbiton, the glow worm caves and the wineries in Bay of Islands; then we took a flight to the South Island, staying in Queenstown for a week. We ate salmon sushi looking over a turquoise, glacial lake at the foot of Mount Cook and stopped off on our way back at a little visited attraction, the Clay Caves, which I’d highly recommend exploring. We hired a car and took a day trip to Fiordland National Park. We had to stop every minute to admire the views, so our journey took a little longer than expected. It is hard to describe the beauty of Fiordland, but all I will say is it is worth travelling half-way across the world to see it.
