Travel C.V. Simon @ Wanderlust

About me: Wanderlust's Technology Director - I keep an eye on the website and help Daisy and Peter. I'm also involved in all things digital - apps - websites etc. I also built the Trip Finder on the site - with over 40 tour operators - all known to us and checked out - and over 5,500 trips there's something for everyone. When not slaving over a hot computer, I enjoy travel and have done long before joining Wanderlust. Recent trips have included Oman, Sudan and Laos and Vietnam - all fascinating in their own right. I'm also always interested in knowing what you think of the site, how it can be improved etc So do please drop me a line using the report a problem link at the top left of the screen.
