About Olivia

My parents met in a standby queue at Gatwick Airport, and call it coincidence or destiny, I’ve been in and out of airports ever since. I’ve embraced my fate with gusto, forging a career in travel journalism to keep the party going. From heli-skiing in Whistler and pulling noodles with a soba master in Tokyo to mingling with A-listers at a Mexican film festival, choppering over the Great Barrier Reef and climbing mountains in the Arctic Circle, no destination nor experience is safe from my wanderlust. A thirst to discover and share the beauty of our world is echoed by everyone at cazenove+loyd; I couldn’t be prouder to support the team by helping to bring the incredible destinations that we serve and the people that make them so special to life.

Just returned from…

Thailand + Vietnam

What a vibe! I adored every moment spent in the Land of Smiles, from daily massages and the mad energy of Bangkok, with its insane street food scene and sophisticated bars, to r + r at the COMO Phuket. Vietnam made for a surprising contrast; I’ll never forget road-tripping around the glorious karsts of Ninh Bình on a motorbike. Hit me up if you want to know the best secret bún chá spot in Hanoi!

NEXT DESTINATION IS…

China

This trip marks my first visit to China – excited doesn’t cover it. I’m off to explore Yunnan province and will be travelling along part of the Tea Horse Road, an ancient trading route that connected Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. This is a land of mountains, lakes and forests and as such, is home to some pretty spectacular scenery, as well as the famous Deitan waterfall. One of the most ethnically diverse provinces of China, ethnic minorities account for about 34 percent of its total population. I cannot wait to familiarise myself with the customs, culture and cuisine of this stunning region.
