Meet Olivia Rose

Throughout my childhood I religiously watched David Attenborough programmes; seeing the vast array of landscapes and fascinating wildlife made me excited about the world of travel.

My travel experience thus far has truly been incredible; from hiking up and sledging back down the snow-capped Villarica Volcano in Chile to assisting with Elephant and lion operations in Africa. I am passionate about positive impact travel and believe that off the beaten track is the best way to really connect with an area and its culture. Having previously worked in the gap year travel industry, I am very excited to have joined True Travel and to learn from the True specialists themselves.

For that real off the beaten track adventure, head to the far north-west corner of the Scottish Highlands, and discover the rugged, picturesque beauty. Cape Wrath is a location not to be missed and can only be described as pure wilderness; boasting incredible mountainous scenery and pristine, white sandy beaches.

Cape Wrath really is a walker’s paradise; venture along rough coastal paths and admire the dramatic headlands and sea stack at Sandwood Bay. If you enjoy a challenge, opt to climb the three mountains in the area – Stack, Arkle and Foinavon – the views from the top are truly breathtaking and worth the climb.

If fishing is your cup of tea, there are plenty of lochs to cast a fly on for a fresh brown trout. 

After an adventurous day, head to the Kylesku Hotel for a well-deserved dinner. The fish couldn’t be fresher, straight from nearby coastal waters; ultra-local seafood from the loch and croft-reared meat. End the day with a wee dram of whiskey from the well-stocked bar.
