Katie de Pelet

I have always loved travelling and spent most of my late teens and twenties travelling the globe. I met my husband Tom in La Reunion in the Indian Ocean, we lived in London then Tokyo, Japan, before starting a family in 2011. Tom set up his own cycle accessory business (for which I do the marketing and PR) and in 2015 we relocated to Exeter with our two children who are currently 6 and 4. Determined not to let family life dampen our passion for travel we bought a campervan and now love to explore everything that the South West has to offer. We particularly enjoy anything adventurous and active although I’m partial to a bit of pampering too!
