  • TV/Radio Presenter

Simon Calder is a fabulous and funny after dinner and conference speaker.

How It All Started

He is Britain's leading travel commentator, but it wasn't always like that. His career in travel began at Gatwick airport, where he cleaned out planes for Sir Freddie Laker and, later, frisked passengers (for a job, that is; not a hobby). He then graduated in Mathematics from Warwick University, and began to write travel guidebooks. In 1994, he became travel editor of The Independent.

Today, he is a presenter for BBC1's Holiday programme and Heaven and Earth Show, and a regular contributor to radio and television news programmes. He continues to write travel books, ranging from guides to Amsterdam and Cuba to an analysis of no-frills aviation.
