Do you travel light or heavy?

I tend to travel extremely light, I've had my days of dragging heavy suitcases around.

Cattle or first class?

Most instances cattle class although I do take the occasional detour up the stairs.

I can't travel without ...

The new Canon Powershot D10 waterproof camera.

What type of suitcase do you carry?

The lightest and smallest one most suitable for the trip I am doing.

What's always in your hand luggage?

A good magazine and an over-generous amount of chocolate and sweets.

Are you a planner or last minute packer?

I would like to think I am a planner but do tend to do the quick last minute panic pack.

What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?

British pounds!

Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?

Kiribati - small runway, lots of potholes not to mention the wild, roaming dogs. Can't get more exciting than that and survive to tell the story!

Best travel tip?

Relax and go with the flow - there's not a lot you can do to speed up the airport/travel process.

Most memorable trip?

All of them - travelling to unknown destinations and experiencing the local culture is unbeatable!

What do you do while on the plane?

Eat, drink, read, watch movies, sleep - then repeat.
