I returned to the Intrepid Group in January 2020 to take a fulltime role as an SEO specialist. I worked across Intrepid Travel and Peregrine Adventures, primarily on destination and regional pages, to improve Google rankings. Unfortunately, 2020 proved not to be the ideal time to be in the travel industry and my position fell victim to Covid-19. Classic coronavirus, really.

I worked as a tour guide for Busabout on the European Coach Network as well as the Turkey Sail tour, during which I managed two boats, eight crew and up to 38 passengers. My season was unfortunately cut short due to personal circumstances but after 70 days straight on a boat I learnt a lifetime's worth of lessons about humans – they're okay, for the most part.

This required extensive research into destinations in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia and presenting the information in an informative, readable manner, liaising with stakeholders across the company to ensure everyone was happy with the final product.
