On my RTW trip I spent longer than expected in:
French Polynesia.
Which place exceeded your expectations on your travels and why?
Namibia. I'd read it would be good before we went, but the stunning landscapes and endless night skies were experiences no travel guide can prepare you for!
When staying in a hotel room for more than one night do you a) Unpack your bags or b) Live from your rucksack?
I live from my rucksack.
What are your top 3 places in the world?
Etosha Pan and National Park (Namibia), Mo'orea (French Polynesia) and Cape Town.
What is your favourite hotel, why and where is it?
Probably The Ostinatto in Buenos Aires for the lovely family who run it, or The Hudson in New York.
Which is your favourite beach, where is it and why?
A little corner of Mo'orea near Hauru Point overlooking the Motu, deep enough for swimming in the stunning lagoon with the rays. Spent 3 weeks by this same beach once, couldn't bear to leave!
Which passport stamp are you proudest of?
Easter Island.
Where/what would you really like to visit?
Mozambique
Where is the most depressing place you’ve found yourself?
Waiting at the Greyhound Terminal in Compton, (LA), grim.
What’s the funniest/strangest thing that’s happened to you abroad?
Randomly camping next to some customers I'd booked in Queenstown, NZ.
If you had just 24 hours in a big city which one would it be?
New York.
