My all-time favourite destination is … Iceland. I’ve done two trips there so far and never been somewhere so otherworldly and wildly eruptive. Diving there in the two-metre-deep Nesgja fissure, between the North American and Eurasian continental plates, in crystal-clear turquoise water, was unforgettable. At home, northern WA and the NT are my go-tos for serious adventures.

Next on my bucket list is … South America. The Atacama desert, the Amazon river, the Chilean fjords, the Andes mountains, the Galapagos islands, Patagonia. What a continent, can’t wait to see more of it.

My top travel tip is … Whatever your age, when you travel, challenge yourself to do something that you have never done before. It might be scary but you’ll remember it forever.
