Hi, I’m Megan Mitchell and I’m a Digital and Admin Consultant at Thorne Travel, having joined the team back in 2019.
Favourite Places
I would definitely recommend Dubai. The combination of the people, culture, buildings and shopping makes for an outstanding experience.
Travel Tips
I have lots of travel tips, but two of the main ones are:
Enjoy your own company, travel solo at least once!
Money returns, but time doesn’t – so book that trip!
What’s the most unforgettable trip you’ve ever taken?
The most unforgettable trip I’ve ever taken was to the Maldives. It was like stepping into a postcard with its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and overwater bungalows. Snorkeling alongside vibrant marine life, including turtles, sharks, and stingrays, felt surreal.
What’s one destination that surprised you in a good way?
Madeira, I expected beautiful scenery, but the island’s dramatic landscapes, lush greenery, and breathtaking cliffs were beyond what I imagined. From hiking the Levada trails and exploring charming towns like Funchal, to experiencing the thrilling Toboggan ride down the hills, Madeira felt like an untouched paradise full of adventure and unique experiences!
Are you more of a beach lounger or an adventure seeker?
I enjoy both, but I definitely prefer being a beach lounger. There’s nothing better than soaking up the sun, relaxing on a comfortable chair, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. While adventures are fun, my ideal day involves lounging by the beach with a good book and a packet of lays in hand!
What’s your dream travel destination that you haven’t visited yet?
My dream travel destination that I haven’t visited yet is Zanzibar. The idea of exploring its white-sand beaches, vibrant spice markets, and their Swahili culture is captivating. I’d love to wander through Stone Town’s winding streets and experience the island’s unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences. It feels like the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure!
