Meet The Team
You can sense a definite theme in the biographies of our team. We all love SCBP and we love to travel the world! In the last few years our team will have travelled to: Australia, Baja, Botswana, California, Cambodia, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Laos, London, Mexico, Nicaragua, NYC, Paris, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Texas, Thailand, Zanzibar and Zimbabwae! There have been many mountain hikes and camping extravaganzas as well. We can’t all go at once so we carefully coordinate our time off and support each other to travel. When we can, we have travelled together!
