How often do you travel?
Whenever the band goes on tour, other than that I don't go too far from home.

Best holiday ever?
Hvar, Croatia, in 2013, but Lagos in Portugal last year is a close second.

Best get-away-from-it-all place to escape to and why?
My grandparents' farm in Dannevirke. There's no internet or cellphone coverage, but a full fridge, a couch and MySkyHD.

Favourite city?
Dunedin.

Best meal you've eaten while travelling?
At Barbecoa, Jamie Oliver's steak restaurant in London.

Best travel tip?
Learn how to ask for a drink in the local language.

Best anti-jetlag tip?
Whiskey on the rocks.

Where would you love to return to and why?
Hvar, but I won't wreck it for you by telling you why.

Worst travel experience?
My passport was stolen the day before I was flying to Fiji - that wasn't great.

What's the most memorable place you have performed?
On a barge on a river in Germany.

Most remote place you've been?
Probably a festival we played in the middle of Germany. It was miles away from civilisation.

Most luxurious travel moment?
A double-decker tour bus in the UK. There was a lounge (and PlayStation) upstairs, and downstairs was a fridge full of alcohol. You hop on after you play a show, party all night, sleep all day, then wake up ready to play the next show.

What do you hate about travelling?
Not being able to afford First Class.

Finish this sentence. It's not a proper holiday unless...
One of the lads wakes up on the beach without his clothes.

Where is your next holiday?
Probably Las Vegas.
