    The journey in four chapters

    2003 to 2009

    Europe first

    Holiday parks, the Alps and the coast, from the Netherlands to Spain.

    2010 to 2012

    Further away

    Thailand, then two trips through the western United States, from Yosemite to Yellowstone.

    2015 to 2017

    Africa

    A safari in Tanzania, then South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia.

    2018

    Asia again

    Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

    Swimming took me to camps and competitions in France, Luxembourg, Hungary, Greece and Spain too.

    Why it matters to me

    Seeing how differently people live, work and do business has made me curious, quick to adapt, and at ease with people whose background is nothing like mine.

    Finance is international: teams, clients and deals cross borders. I believe a broad view of the world helps there.
