What was your greatest holiday?

The best holidays I can recall were the family trips to Topes de Collantes in Sancti Spiritus province, Cuba. It is also memorable the one time the company was in Koln; this is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.

If we bump into you on holiday, what are you most likely to be doing?

I would be resting or listening to music or in a place where I can be in contact with nature - a beach, a river or a mountain.

How about for a dream holiday internationally?

I love visiting all Latin American countries.

What's the dumbest thing you've ever done when travelling?

I was shopping in the beautiful city of Melbourne and when I was done and on my way out I realised it was already night time and could not find my way back to the hotel, I was lost in that huge city! Totally lost!

Complete this sentence: I can't travel without...

My music or my Stowny, the elf that has always been with me on my on trips. I also can't travel without a good book to read while on the road or on a plane. Lately, I've also become a fan of my camera and I never leave it behind.

What's the best travel tip you've ever been given?

The best tip ever is to pack a few essentials in your hand luggage, this is something I never forget.

Favourite airport to land at (other than "home")?

Dubai International Airport.

What's the next trip you've got planned?

I'm planning to go to Brazil, India and any cold country near the North Pole.
