Most of my pics are landscapes but in September they will all be of people. First up: my parents who inspired my travels by taking me to France as a child. One of the first pics I took, age 8. #TravelPeople Image 244 of #365TravelPics‬

Age 14, I stayed with a family in France. They welcomed & left me with importance of getting to know local people to really understand a culture. They’re pictured here. #TravelPeople Image 245 of #365TravelPics‬

‪One of my first travel companions was my Brother. And this is our trip to Venice with school age 16. Since then we’ve travelled across Europe together. #TravelPeople Image 246 of #365TravelPics‬

A typical university travel pic: group of friends from choir on church steps in Lyon, France. This trip made me life-long friends & was a great start to uni travels. #TravelPeople Day 247 of #365TravelPics‬

Travelling with friends makes you travel to new places: my choir friends took me Prague for the first time. Here is the group outside Prague Castle. #TravelPeople Day 248 of #365TravelPics

‪I lived with M & Mme Gentil in Lyon for a month, age 19. They introduced me to their friends & took me around the local area. Taught me benefits of meeting locals when travelling. #TravelPeople Day 250 of #365TravelPics‬

‪As part of my studies I lived in the Alps & saw the benefits of slow travel, like experiencing the season’s first snow with friends. (Yes, that’s me in the red jumper) #TravelPeople Day 251 of #365TravelPics‬

‪I’ve been lucky to travel through work: here are British, Dutch & Czech colleagues at a meeting in Prague as part of an EU project. Working with partners shows another side to a country. #TravelPeople Day 256 of #365TravelPics‬

‪In 2012 I travelled to Poland with my Father. Here he is outside the cathedral on Krakow. #TravelPeople Day 257 of #365TravelPics‬

Having travelled as teenagers, my Brother & I now travel with our partners. Here are the 4 of us about to leave for France. #TravelPeople Day 260 of #365TravelPics‬

ravelling to France now means travelling to see my Father & his wife. Here they are showing us some local highlights among the Burgundy vines. #TravelPeople Day 261 of #365TravelPics‬

’m lucky that some of my traveling involves visiting some of my family in France & feeling part of their local community instantly. Here we are with a glass of wine this summer. #TravelPeople Day 262 of #365TravelPics‬

Lucky to have a friend in Paris who helped us discover local bars, restaurants & places to visit. Plus a quick selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower. #TravelPeople Day 263 of #365TravelPics‬
