Do you remember your first holiday either home or abroad?
My first holiday was to Disneyland Paris with my sister and parents. I would have been maybe 5yrs old so the memories are a bit sketchy but I know I had a great time!
Where was your first holiday abroad ?
Apart from Disneyland, my first big holiday abroad was to Florida in 2000. My grandparents took me, my parents and sister. We have a villa and a van which we used to go to all the Disney and universal parks. Some of my best memories are from that trip!
Your favourite city in the world, home or abroad and why?
It's such a tough question to answer, I have so many but if I have to choose I'm going with Buenos Aires. It's absolutely beautiful, they're football mad, the food is unbelievable and I really like the local people there!
Have you ever cruised, if not, would you?
I have done one cruise. It was a few years ago starting in Vancouver, going through Alaska before ending in Seattle. Absolutely loved it! All you can eat is what my life is about! So relaxing!
Favorite beach resort?
Tough one, I'd say Santa Teresa in Costa Rica. The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen and I ended up becoming friends with a Costa Rican called Mariel. She accidentally got in a picture I took of the sunset, she asked me to send it to her, we kept in touch and I went to visit her in San Jose last year when I was back in Costa Rica, so it has a lot of sentimental value as well as being a beautiful place.
Last holiday?
My last holiday was unique one! I started in Romania, in Bucharest. Took a trip from there to Transylvania and also northern Bulgaria. After that I finished my trip in Belgrade as I hadn't been to Serbia before!
Next holiday?
I'm on one now so I guess technically marmaris as thats where I go next? I haven't got anything booked after this but plans are in motion. Probably a weekend away in somewhere like Monaco whilst I plan a bigger one!
Dream holiday location?
Antarctica! I absolutely love the cold and Antarctica fascinates me! Easter Island is up there too!
Do you have a favourite meal or restaurant anywhere abroad
Ah Dean, what a question! I'm such a foodie how do I narrow that down! I'm going to go with this meal I had in Cusco, Peru. I was told to go veggie for a couple of days to help adjust to the altitude. It was so colourful and potato based with different sauces. Brings tears to my eyes thinking about it right now!
Any Top travel tip?
Don't sweat the small stuff. Not every trip will go as perfectly as you hope. Main things, passport, bank cards (ideally a top up travel one), phone charger and adapter. But honestly be as open minded as you can and try not to stress if something goes wrong. There's always a solution!
Where are You in your photo?
I'm in Buenos Aires at la bombonera watching Boca Juniors. It had been a dream to watch them and to be there under the lights watching them was a massive moment for me. The atmosphere was unlike anything I've experienced and I almost cried with happiness a couple of times that I was there!
