Jo graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in French and Italian. After several years of working in sales and marketing in the UK and France, she decided to explore South America. Jo's 14 month journey covered the continent, and highlight was surviving two months travelling the length of the Amazon, from the Atlantic coast to the source in the Peruvian Andes, an unforgettable experience. Since working for Audley Travel, Jo has returned to Peru, Ecuador and the amazing Galapagos Islands to experience the many hotels and boats we recommend to our clients. A recent trip to Central America fulfilled an ambition to discover the colourful Mayan countries of Belize, Guatemala and Honduras, where she climbed temples, tracked jaguars and dived the beautiful reefs of the Caribbean.
