Linda Nattar
Senior Travel Consultant, and our very own Singapore Girl! - Part of the travel industry since 1974 (International Cruise Council Accredited)
It all started with a job as an air hostess for Singapore Airlines – hence the nickname – and Linda just hasn’t been able to kick the thrill of working in travel. It’s the people who make it when it comes to Linda’s travels, the warm-hearted, friendly people living basic but happy lives in exotic locations. China is a particular favourite, as it opens its doors to the rest of the world, revealing an ancient history, diverse places to visit and many ethnic groups working and living together in harmony.
