What is your favourite destination? 

t’s hard to choose a favourite, but seeing the Big Five up close in their natural habitat in Kenya was truly unforgettable. I still catch myself looking back at photos from that trip in disbelief and it’s safe to say I’ve now got the safari itch!. 

Which destination is top of your bucket list and why?

Japan has always been at the very top of my bucket list and it’s never lost that spot, no matter how many other destinations I add. I’m fascinated by its unique culture and how far ahead it feels compared to so many other countries. Experiencing that culture first-hand (and enjoying plenty of sushi along the way!) would be a dream come true. 

How do you spend your time whilst on holiday?

On a city break, I love exploring on foot, it’s the best way to stumble across hidden spots that often become the highlight of the trip. But if it’s a beach holiday, you’ll usually find me stretched out and relaxing, before heading into town in the evening for great food and drinks.

What's your top travel tip?

I always pin locations I want to visit on my phone, so I can find them quickly and easily. Creating folders on Google Maps has been a real lifesaver when exploring big cities like New York or Paris.
