Meet the experts

We’re thrilled to share that alongside offering helpful travel tips at Destinations London, Explore will also host an exciting talk packed with personal stories and insights!

Let’s go on an unforgettable trip to the mysterious Amazon. This region has long captured the imagination of adventure-hungry travellers, yet its vast banks remain surprisingly unexplored. Join Becky Smith, Head of Sales at Explore, as she shares her Brazilian adventure by boat, taking us on a journey from the colourful gateway city of Belem to industrial Manaus. Along the way, she unveils life along the river, highlighting the unique ecosystems and communities that thrive in this magical region.

You can listen to Becky’s Brazil adventure on Saturday, 1 February 2025 from 12.45 until 1.20pm at the Meet the Experts Theatre.
