Biography

After graduating from Canterbury University with a degree in English and American Studies, Lucy backpacked around Australia, New Zealand and North America.

As well as re-visiting New Zealand with Audley Lucy has recently returned from French Polynesia and Fiji where she visited many of Audley's favourite properties and has now fallen in love with the South Pacific. In her spare time Lucy enjoys going to the theatre, visiting National Trust properties and museums as well as dancing and aerobics.

Favourite Destination - Bora Bora

"My favourite destination in French Polynesia has to be the beautiful island of Bora Bora.

With its mutli coloured turquoise and blue lagoons and its clear blue skies there is nothing about this island to dislike!

This is not just a beach destination, there is so much to do here from snorkelling and diving to four wheel drive tours and shark and ray feeding excursions!"

Favourite Accommodation - Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort

"The Pearl Resort is one of my favourite resorts on Bora Bora.

I particularly love the garden bungalows as they have so much privacy and space as well as their own private plunge pools!

The spa here is fabulous, set back from the resort amongst the native bush the expereince is one of complete relaxation and it is worth booking ahead as it is extremely popular."

Most Memorable Experience

"My most vivid memory of Bora Bora (French Polynesia) is not the beautiful turquoise waters or the fabulous overwater bungalows. Instead what I remember most was the day our guide took us to swim with sharks and rays, standing waist deep in water surrounded by gentle freiendly manta rays is something I never dreamed I would do but will remember for the rest of my life!

This once in a lifetime trip also saw me don flippers and a snorkel and jump into shark infested waters (ok they were the small, none of man-eater variety but they were still sharks!)

This trip is one that nearly every resort in Bora Bora can organise and is well worth doing for an experience that you will never forget."
