Be brave and do something that takes you out of your comfort zone when travelling. Whether it be a helicopter ride or a scuba diving lesson, you’ll experience new things and make memories for a lifetime.

Unforgettable moment

Coming face-to-face with a King Cobra in the jungles of Laos. After my initial shock and subsequently realisation that it was more afraid of me that I was of it, I appreciated the honour of encountering such a majestic creature in the wild.
