k o o P Geoff DON LEVE C - R E MANAG H C N A R B Experience in travel? It’s probably easier to say that travel has changed a lot since I first started in the industry, but one thing that has remained core, is the service you provide will always out weigh technology. In years I am closing in on 30 years! Favourite destination? Barbados - So friendly, and with a relaxed feel to the island. Great hotels and beaches and a bus journey on the reggae bus is a must for any visitor. Why you love what you do? The enjoyment you get from a customer putting their faith in you to find their ideal holiday, and then upon their return, coming in to thank you for a great experience never dulls. To me the service an independent agent provides, cannot be matched by an internet search. Your most extravagant purchase? Wife’s wedding ring. Who would you most like to be seated on an aeroplane with? My Nan. What currently ranks highest on your travel wish list? Vietnam. What’s your favourite movie? Star Wars - A New Hope (episode 4). What’s your favourite quote? ‘You only get out of life what you are prepared to put in’. What skill would you most like to master? Sign language. What’s the strangest thing you have ever eaten? Anything that the wife has cooked! 3 ideal dinner guests? Bill Shankly, Stephen Fry and John F Kennedy.
