- Go husky sledding beneath the Northern Lights in Iceland
- Scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef
- Do a coast to coast road trip through America
- Explore Botswana and Zimbabwe
Best Moments
- Hiking to the summit of La Rhune to admire the panoramic views of the French coast, the Pyrenees and Northern Spain, whilst standing on the Franco-Spanish border.

- Sailing from Colombia to Panama, across the Caribbean Sea, hopping between the beautiful San Blas Islands.
- Gorilla trekking in Uganda.
Toughest Travel Moment
- Being burgled in the middle of the night whilst working at a school in Kenya. Not a nice experience for anyone but it would never stop me going back!
Weirdest Travel Moment
- Having to pose in front of the Taj Mahal while total strangers queued up to take my photo. Certainly the closest I've ever felt to celebrity status.
