Director of Getting Things Done

Hello! I’m James, and as well as being Chelsea’s plus one on most of her trips, I also look after the website and keep things ticking over across the whole business.

In December I left my role as Exec Producer on Chris Moyles on Radio X to spend more time Holiday Expert office and, of course, travelling.

I actually didn’t leave the country or get on a plane until I was 19, and eased myself into my first abroad trip with a five week trip backpacking around India. 

I’ll be honest, I am less a fan of a hostel than Chelsea is. In fact, I much prefer extra leg room - I am 5 ft 8.5 inches after all. But I think that’s good for balance. Like, is it possible to get good value in first class? These are the areas I’d like to explore more…
