Mal Chenu

Mal is a freelance columnist and travel writer. He loves getting lost in foreign climes, which is easy as he has no sense of direction.

My all-time favourite destination is … Solomon Islands. Barbados. Vegas. The Kimberley. So much awesome, so little time …

Next on my bucket list is … Sicily, New Orleans, Morocco, Galapagos. As Susan Sontag said, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”

My top travel tip is … Buy a local coffee. Chat to bartenders. Take guided tours. Seek and ye shall find. Local knowledge is illuminating, eclectic and often passionate.
