Ben Southall’s wife, Sophee, takes a moment in Turkmenistan:

Ben said: “Life is pretty cool when you can work, live and travel with the person you love but even then it can also throw up a few testing situations. The benefits are you get to enjoy and share the experience of some of the world’s most stunning places together. Being stuck in an office all day, every day would bore me and I’ve no idea how people stick to the same job for a decade or more”.
