About Carl Meadows

Carl joined Regent Holidays in 2004 shortly after returning to the UK after two years living in Mongolia, so knows what to see and do in Ulaan Baatar and the Gobi desert! Carl's passion for travel, particularly to the lesser visited spots of the globe, has led him to and through numerous exciting and offbeat destinations. Carl is an experienced tour leader and trips that he has led have included Moldova with 250 Scottish football supporters, a solar eclipse tour in China in 2009 and he has led tours every year to North Korea since he first joined Regent. His most recent trips abroad have taken him on the Trans-Manchurian Railway from Pyongyang to Moscow in October 2009, holidaying in Mongolia and South Korea in January 2010 and tour leading in Turkmenistan & Armenia in May and June 2010. During a recent holiday to Kiev, he visited Chernobyl and was inspired to put together our Kiev & Chernobyl small group tour that he will escort in August 2011.

When not trying to brush up on his Mongolian skills, in his free time Carl enjoys planning his next journey overseas, which is always likely to be in one of Regent's more unusual destinations! For 2011 he plans to escort our East Coast North Korea and small group tours to both Armenia and Mongolia plus he has numerous other plans brewing for personal trips.

Carl says, "If souvenirs such as Persian rugs and Russian Vodka don't take your fancy, then why not try shopping in Pyongyang, where tourist shops are lined with biographies of revolutionary leaders, videos of military parades and other such curiosities that will make fantastically unique and unusual gifts!"
