Ken Reed has recently retired as assistant principal at a sixth form college in Cardiff. He is married with two children who he is encouraging to travel before settling down. He began travelling at 16 and continued whilst at university and in employment visiting most of Europe, Route 66 in the US, Bangalore in India and Western Australia.
