Introducing the Agent Insider, where we sit down with one lucky agent and continuously prod them with the question stick until they tell us something risqué.

I knew I wanted to become an agent when…

I was travelling.

My first day on the job was…

Back in March.

My favourite famil has to be…

My proudest moment was…

The naughtiest thing I’ve ever done on a trip is…

Too many things that shouldn’t be in print. Let’s keep it PG; skinny dipping!

I relax by…

Being in the spa.

I really wish I had…

The best advice I’ve ever received was…

Don’t over think it.

I don’t understand why people…
