When I’m, not at work or travelling, I’m…
At home, probably planning my next holiday.
Which place exceeded your expectations on your travels and why?
The Maldives - I didn't believe anywhere could top Tahiti for turquoise water and luxury overwater accommodation but I was wrong.
What are your top 5 must-pack items?
iPad, phone, camera, credit card and chargers!
When staying in a hotel room for more than one night do you a) unpack your bags or b) live from your rucksack?
No rucksack for me, I am strictly a suitcase gal. But I wouldn't unpack for just one night!
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be and why?
Melbourne. It's a great city, with fantastic food and wine, and close to the beach.
What was your first great travel experience?
Day one in Sydney for the first time, walking through the Botanic Gardens and getting my first view of the Sydney Opera House on a bright, blue, sunny day.
What are your top 3 places in the world?
Sydney, Waiheke Island (Auckland) and the Whitsunday Islands.
What is your favourite hotel, why and where is it?
Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island. Absolute luxury, the most significant wow factor, and an incredible place to visit. Kangaroo Island is known as 'Australia’s Galapagos' for good reasons.
Which is your favourite beach, where is it and why?
Doubtless Bay, Northland, NZ - usually deserted and stunning. It's also where my sister got married, so it holds a lot of happy memories for me.
Do you have any ‘pet hates’ while travelling?
Economy class!
Where/what would you really like to visit?
The Kimberley region of Western Australia. Despite sending lots of clients there on amazing trips and adventures cruises, it’s pretty much the last piece of Australia I’ve not seen and it looks incredible.
If you had just 24 hours in a big city which one would it be?
New York.
What do you miss most from home while you are away?
My bed.
