McAuley sat down with TTG news editor Jennifer Morris to talk us through the three trips that helped inspire her lifelong passion for travel.

Her story, which went live on Friday (7 May), is the fifth to feature on Trips of the Trade.

She follows Der Touristik UK chief executive Derek Jones; Funway Holidays managing director Melissa Tilling; Celebrity Cruises vice-president and MD for Ireland, UK and Asia Jo Rzymowska; and G Adventures’ founder Bruce Poon Tip by revealing her most enduring travel memories.

Keep your eyes (and ears) peeled every fortnight for more leading travel figures sharing their most treasured journeys. Each podcast lasts around 25 minutes, with members of the TTG editorial team taking the role of interviewer.
