I’m Steve, I’ve spent nearly Sixteen years in travel. Working for a big high street travel agent before moving to be a Cruise specialist homeworker. I’ve visited some amazing places through out the world. My personal favourite place has to be the United States of America. Having been no fewer than thirty times, it never fails to disappoint me. There is so much to see and do and I can see why so few Americans actually have passports because they don’t need to go anywhere. For paradise it has to be the Maldives, for such beautiful beaches and that Robinson Crusoe lost and stranded feeling. Not seen anywhere else on earth like it. And of course I do like a good Cruise. I love the high standards and the ability to visit so many places in such a short time. Waking up in a different port of call every morning is great.
I’m an outgoing type of guy, away from holidays I’m big into my football and a Charlton Athletic fan. I know you can change your wife/girlfriend but you just can’t change your football team. A good night out for me would have to involve Karaoke, one coke-cola and I’m first up. Not shy at all for a sing song. A bit of a Magician too, I do love a trick with a deck of cards. Actually think I’m pretty good to be fair.
I have two kids that live in London and growing up fast. I live at home with my wife, Sarah and our pets. We have two cats, Claude and Tasha.
My dream is to have my own villa in Florida. A holiday home I can visit when ever I want and if possible to retire and live there.
