About Jonathan

Growing up I dreamt of little more than being an archaeologist; it wasn’t all down to Indiana Jones, but he helped. Five summers spent in Israel, three months in Italy and an expedition into central Ghana later, and the travel bug had well and truly taken over. Since then, I’ve taken every opportunity I can to explore the world – trains across Siberia and Mongolia, motorbikes around Southeast Asia, trekking in Borneo, safaris in Zambia, cycling around New Zealand, buses in South America and picking tomatoes in Australia to pay for it all! My first visit to Patagonia, nearly 20 years ago, led to a job designing journeys through Chile and Argentina, allowing me to indulge in my obsession with the ice; The Falklands, Antarctica, Svalbard, Greenland and the Northwest Passage have all cemented my love of the wilder corners of the planet. As Head of Product at cazenove+loyd, my role is to support our fabulous Destination Experts, seeking out new experiences and opportunities to make our itineraries the best out there.

Just returned from…

Australia’s Gold Coast

More than 20 years since I was last there, to take part in the largest luxury travel show in the country. While there, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of visiting Tasmania; the island easily lived up to my expectations. I spent four days hiking wukalina Walk along the northeastern shore, a fabulous project run by local Aborigine guides who are fighting to keep the history of their people alive. From here I drove to Hobart to scratch a long-term itch and visit Mawson’s Hut Museum (a legend of Polar exploration). It was a short trip but one I’ll never forget.

NEXT DESTINATION IS…

St Helena

I have a thing for remote corners of the world – anywhere out of the way with a tiny population. I’m also a history nerd, so when the opportunity to visit St Helena arose, I jumped at the chance. This is set to be a huge adventure with hikes to Longwood House (where Napolean spent many years), mountain biking, visits to archaeological sites, giant tortoises, incredible birdlife and maybe even the chance to swim with whale sharks. It’s not often that I get to visit a totally new destination, and St Helena has been on my bucket list forever – I can’t wait!
