Who Am I?
I would like to welcome you all to my blog JetSetSam.world
My name is Sam I am 57 years old. I am married to my husband Steve, and we have two daughters, Megan & Molly.
My passion for travel started in teens when I started flying abroad for my holidays. At the time I was working as a Dental Nurse/ Receptionist after I’d left school, but as I reached my early twenties, I knew I could not do this job for the rest of my life! I needed to go and explore the world.
I flew out to Zakynthos Greece for the 1990’s Summer season with a friend. I had a return ticket, £200.00 to my name and temporary accommodation with no Job. I was so excited to see what I could achieve, and determined to stay for a single summer season to work, party and make lots of new friends.
I landed a job at Hertz, a car hire company their office was in Zakynthos town over looking the harbour. We delivered cars to holiday makers all over the island. I Loved it, i was living the dream.
It soon time to return home in October when the summer season came to an end, I knew I could not go back to a 9-5 job after having the time of my life. I started to apply to the Airlines as cabin crew. I was lucky enough to get an Interview with Airtours International a brand new airline I was so excited and before I knew it, I got offered the job, it was time to return home to England.
I started my training course in April 1991, where I unexpectedly met my husband to be Steve, we were married within 9 months and just so happened to be first couple to get married within the company we even got our picture published in the local newspaper.
The two of us flew out to the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean together and got married on the beach at sunset, on the Island of Mahe. It was idyllic.
When we returned home from our honeymoon our first flight together as cabin crew was to Lapland. How exciting! We were relaxing on the beach in the Seychelles, by the equator and then two days later making snow angels in Lapland in the North Pole.
After four years of flying I hung my wings up, meaning my feet back are now back on the ground ready to start a family. I then went to work for the travel agent ‘Going places’ this fuelled my ongoing travel obsession. Shortly after I fell pregnant with Megan our eldest daughter then 3 years later our youngest daughter Molly was born.
Steve my husband was fortunate enough to land a job working as cabin crew for British Airways on the World wide fleet, where myself and the girls were able to travel on a number of flights with him to some amazing long haul destinations, such as Bermuda, New York, South Africa, Singapore, Venezuala.
Our daughters from an early age also got the travel bug. As they were travelling the world together with us, it gave them life experiences and family time they will always treasure.
Steve and I have now been married for 33 years, we still have this passion to travel, sometimes as a couple and as a family.
I hope my blog helps you discover the world and have as many adventures, and life time experiences as we have, and still are!
I always live my life to the full and embrace every opportunity.
You have one life, Live it !!
