My all-time favourite destination is … the USA. I blame all that American television I soaked up as a child. If you adore music and architecture like I do, point yourself towards Nashville, New Orleans and Palm Springs.

Next on my bucket list is … to see more of Africa. I’ve been to only four of its countries so there are still 50 to go.

My top travel tip is … strike up a conversation with your plane-seat neighbour, taxi driver, waiter or hotel concierge. They might have a hot tip that becomes the highlight of your trip.
