How about for a dream holiday internationally? I'd love to do a big train trip across India like in The Darjeeling Limited movie. Except not go with my brothers like they did — that'd be worse than the scorpion.
What's the dumbest thing you've ever done when travelling? There are a few contenders for this bad boy. After finishing Sail Croatia, a week-long trip sailing along the coast from Dubrovnik to Split, a few mates and I were flying to Rome to be close to the Pope after a fairly sinful few days. Except I booked my flight for the day after.
While the guys took off to bathe in holy water I had to check in to a seedy hostel, which shared a wall with a rowdy pub. They played nothing but Barry White the entire night while the guy in the bunk above me got lucky.
I also tried unsuccessfully to steal rapper T-Pain's magnum of vodka in a nightclub in Cannes, France.
Aisle seat or window seat? Always aisle. Getting up and going to get your own drinks is also the most efficient way of getting your money's worth on a flight.
A German backpacker and I drank the plane dry of Johnny Walker Red on a flight from Dubai to Auckland once. He passed out and I listened to Fleetwood Mac. We're still friends.
Complete this sentence: I can't travel without ... A deck of cards. Particularly handy if you're travelling solo and staying in hostels.
What's the best travel tip you've ever been given? Go to the right gate at Hong Kong airport. That way, you avoid the "Ah, Mr Ward, I presume?" when you finally arrive 15 minutes after the full 777 was scheduled to depart for London. An awkward walk of shame to my seat.
What was the most memorable meal you've had while travelling? Eating a burger twice the size of my head in Vietnam. The burger won. I didn't actually eat again for a couple of days. Or move. I also unintentionally ate rat on that trip.
