My love affair with travel and connecting with different cultures began with a move at the tender age of six to the UK. My passion for history and French culture led to a joint honours degree in those subjects from Manchester\/Bradford University. It would not be long, however, before my inquisitive nature took me to a country much farther afield from my native Europe: the USA. My natural inclination to discover &#8216;what all the fuss is about&#8217; led me to develop a taste for some truly American pastimes; surfing, snowboarding, Californian wine tasting and ballooning in Napa Valley, which seemed to lead inevitably to sky diving. I moved to my beloved Paris in 2002 where I still reside today. I have worked for the past 8 years as a Travel Director for Trafalgar.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is the best part of your job?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t just get to tell people about the places and things I am most passionate about; I actually get to take them there so that they can experience them. I get to see people&#8217;s preconceptions change as they discover places, foods and new interests that they will keep for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>I get to be your &#8216;inside man&#8217;, your friend who lives here. Who else gets to do that?<\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s your best Hidden Treasure?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A local lady named Madame Therese at Nice open air market makes the most amazing traditional &#8216;Socca&#8217; dish &#8211; rather like a pizza base with cheese and caramelized onions on top, yum!<\/p>\n<p><b>Most memorable on the road moment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Our coach was blocked in a tiny village on the Italian Amalfi Coast because someone had parked illegally. The offending Fiat 500 was so small and light that along with six Trafalgar guests, the driver and I picked it up and simply carried it out of the way. Worth it for the round of applause we got getting back on the coach!<\/p>\n<p><b>What vacation photo would you recommend our guests have to take?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Eiffel Tower sparkling, on the hour, after nightfall. You have to catch it quickly though, because it only sparkles for five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Something the locals do differently: Parisian police on rollerblades springs to mind!<\/p>\n<p><b>What are your staple travel items?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Universal electrical adapter, cardigan, phone, camera, headphones, Swiss pocket knife, a smile and a sense of humour.<\/p>\n<p><b>Your tip for feeling like a local while travelling?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As children in the English-speaking world we are taught two important words: \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you\u201d. In France we are brought up with four: \u201dhello\u201d and \u201dgoodbye\u201d as well. Say \u201dbonjour\u201d when you meet anybody French and \u201dau revoir\u201d when you leave. It&#8217;s not a question of politeness, simply etiquette; it&#8217;s the way we do things over here. Failure to do so will have you standing out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n<p><b>Must Buy souvenir?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A book from Paris&#8217;s famous &#8216;Shakespeare and Co&#8217; bookstore, which Hemingway personally liberated during WWII. They will even stamp the inside cover for you if you ask them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who is your biggest inspiration?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>My guests trying something new in a country foreign to them \u2013 it reminds me to carry on doing that wherever I go. And, my Mom.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best travel tip?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You are traveling to experience the difference, not to search for what you have at home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1691\" style=\"width: 170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2012\/11\/jonathan-holburn1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1691 \" title=\"Trafalgar TD, Jonathan Holburn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2012\/11\/jonathan-holburn1.jpg\" alt=\"Trafalgar TD, Jonathan Holburn\" width=\"170\" height=\"255\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trafalgar TD, Jonathan Holburn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel Director: Jonathan Holburn Regions: France and Italy Trafalgar&#8217;s Travel Directors play a key role in providing each of our guests with a truly memorable experience.
