Tamsin Cocks
Tamsin is the managing editor for Discovery magazine. Describe your perfect day. 'It starts with a long lie-in and breakfast in bed (scrambled eggs, please). I’m in Thailand and slide straight out of my villa onto the beach: dipping in the sea when I need to cool down, or hopping on a jet ski. In the afternoon, I head to an elephant sanctuary to help feed and bathe these gentle giants. Then I meet friends in a cool, laid-back bar with a live band and dance the night away.'
