I have just returned from...

Sri Lanka

This country has always been high on my wish list, and it surpassed my expectations. The friendliness of the people struck me immediately, their infectious smiles and warm hospitality embracing me at every turn. I loved exploring the jagged southern coastline, with its huge sweeping palms and crashing waves, plus several mind-blowing hotels and villas. Visiting Galle Fort from Amangalla was particularly memorable, as was watching locals play cricket in the cobbled streets whilst the sun set. I would happily return again and again.

My next destination is...

New Zealand

I am incredibly excited to travel the length and breadth of this fascinating island nation, with its otherworldly landscapes, fantastic food and wine, and ancient identity. I cannot wait to learn about Māori culture, visit sparkling glaciers, hike on the beautiful mountain trails and sail in the Bay of Islands, and I promise to return with masses of insider tips!
