I like to travel light.

Cattle or first class?
Cattle class, moo.

I can't travel without...
My performance dressing gown.

What's always in your hand luggage?
My phone and snacks for my little daughter, Isabella.

Are you a planner or last minute packer?
I like to make lists and pack days before. But I generally forget something and have to madly repack at the last minute.

Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?
Home (Melbourne).

What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
A cold! It's a fabulous excuse for a rest.

Don't travel with a toddler at the end of a day.

Singing on Christmas Eve to the airport staff to let me on the plane. They did and I was home in time for Christmas.

Breathe ... I am on my way.
