Student Placement
Desiree Moino
Desiree whet her appetite for travel by first exploring the enchanting cities of her home country, Italy. A trip to the Renaissance city of Florence led Desiree to fall in love with the history, art, and gourmet cuisine of Tuscany. After experiencing the cultural beauty of such an iconic city, Desiree decided to extend her travels throughout Europe, Ireland, and the UK.
MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
My most memorable experience has to be in Turkey. Situated in Cappadocia I was mesmerised by our stay in one of amazing cave hotels. The beauty of Goreme Open Air Museum and Uchisar Castle left me speechless. Mixing with the locals and learning about their culture truly made this an authentic and unforgettable experience. The best part of the trip was watching the orange sun rise slowly against the tapestry of hot air balloons.
MY TRAVEL WISH-LIST
South Africa is most definitely at the top of my travel wish-list. I would love to do a walking safari in the Kruger National Park (the original safari experience!) and to witness the big five. Whale watching off the coast of South Africa would also be another must-see.
FAVOURITE PROPERTY
My favourite property is the Jackalberry Lodge. This lodge offers amazing views of the African bush and the wildlife living within, and your private patio provides the best seat in the house!
Favourite Safari Animal
Elephants are without a doubt my favourite safari animal. I have been fascinated by them since a childhood trip to the local zoo, and I can’t wait to see one living free in the wild.
