At Audley Emma juggles marketing with responsible travel, something which is integral to Audley’s ethos. Whether this is identifying community projects and environmental lodges or looking at different ways that we can support overseas initiatives. Emma’s interest in travel started when she went to Kenya at the age of 18, working at a school on the plains on the edge of the Nairobi National Park. This was followed by a second year away to Australia and Southeast Asia, in addition to many trips to Canada where her family originated.

Steve joined Audley as web content editor in March 2010 and took over the day-to-day management of the Indian Subcontinent, South & Central America and Polar region sections of the web site. His top travel experiences so far include scuba diving off the coast of Grand Cayman, white-water rafting on the Shotover River near Queenstown and hiking over the Fox Glacier in New Zealand.
