India and Sri Lanka travel specialist Sara was bitten by the travel bug straight after university, and her working life has been peppered with sabbaticals before deciding on a career in the travel industry in 2012. She worked for two of the UK’s leading tour operators before joining ETG, where she specialises in India, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Sara is a firm believer in the magic of getting off-the-beaten-track: she has raced a tuk-tuk over 1,500 miles from north to south India, spent time in a community tourism programme in the Sri Lankan mountains and explored remote valleys in Bhutan.
