Whilst my job keeps me at a desk or visiting clients across the UK and Europe, in my free time I'm slowl fulfilling my desire to see as much of the world as I can, and comfortably! My husband previously worked in the travel industry and this introduced me to the finer side of travel, since then we've been accumulating airmiles and expensive tastes quickly - but thankfully they tend to go hand in hand. A big fan of seeing new places, trying out small or lesser known hotels and recording as many memories with my cameras as possible! If I can build into a holiday some wine-tasting, cycling, sailing or walking, then I'm a happy traveller and I'm always seeking somewhere new and comfortable with an amazing view to tear me away from reading another book! One key thing to any of my trips is seeing the country for real rather than just the hotel facilities and tours. More on my personal blog travelwithpenelopeandparker.com
