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…

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 and it blew well past any expectation that I had. The ever-changing scenery, the wildlife, the history, it’s hard to know where to start. When you travel it’s often unusual to spend long enough in one place to really take it all in, because the island is so small you really can do that here. From the whale sharks to Napoleon’s house at Longwood I’d recommend this spot to anyone.

NEXT DESTINATION IS…

South Africa

I’m lucky in that my role requires a lot of travel and I get to see some incredible places. This time I’ll be spending a week at a tradeshow in Durban, meeting with current partners from across Africa and seeking out new opportunities to enhance your travels. I’ll also be spending a few days at the new lodge Gwe Gwe, which sits on the sardine migration route, before heading out for a quick safari at Phinda Mountain Lodge.
