Joe

I'd say I have one eye on the database and the other on the skies (my chair is next to the window). When I travel I like to take in museums, architecture and ruins, so I often end up on city breaks. I enjoy beach breaks too, but I'm pretty rubbish at getting a tan.

CORNWALL

Camping and surfing was a regular fixture of my summer holidays as I grew up. We went with a family of friends so nobody got bored!

GREECE

I've travelled to Athens and its surroundings to see the ruins, and have also enjoyed culture of the slightly more hedonistic variety in the party haven of Rhodes.

POLAND

There are some incredible sights in Krakow, in particular the nearby Wieliczka salt mine. They weren't so hot on the meaning of 'vegetarian' unfortunately.

TRAVEL TIP - "Travel with someone who's annoyingly well motivated, because sometimes it will take some convincing to climb a mountain instead of going to the beach, but you never regret it afterwards. "
