Tom and Gev are the husband and wife team that first dreamed up HeadingThere on an overland trip from Europe to Australia. Our intrepid couple both set off to explore the world as fresh faced 18 year olds and neither has ever looked back (despite no longer being quite so fresh faced.) In her day job Gev is a nurse who has worked in hospitals on 4 continents, Tom refused to ever grow up and when people finally insisted he should get a job he did so at a world leading youth travel agency. Tom and Gev are currently living in Thailand where they enjoy drinking coconut shakes and talking to people about travel.

The exact colour of her hair.
