A
THE LIFE OF A TV TRAVEL PRESENTER Travelling the Globe with Livinia Nixon
PAGE 24
If you’re reading this, you’re a travel lover like me. The freedom of travel - away from responsibilities and the grinding routine, is liberating and exciting. Learning about new cultures and having a daily adventure is enticing and creates lifelong memories. But what happens when you travel for work? Is some of the magic lost in rigorous itineraries, work emails, time constraints and high heels? Well, a little.... but just a little. As anyone who travels for work knows, it’s not as glamorous as it looks. Those TV snippets of heaven - a presenter getting a massage or soaking in a hot tub, generally last as long as the filming.... all of about 7 minutes at a time. But they are a glorious 7 minutes and as a working mum, I’ll take that any day of the week.
