My Holidays: Comedian Sarah Callaghan

Comedian Sarah Callaghan rides a camel in Tunisia.

What was your greatest holiday?

My best mate's parents took me to Venezuela when I was 13. It was incredible. We flew over the highest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls, and stayed in the jungle for two nights. Then we flew to Margarita and it had a water park in the resort. Blew my little mind.

And the worst?

Me and my mate went to Tunisia in 2015 right after the terrorist attacks happened on the beach next door — we wondered why it was so cheap! The food was awful, there was no booze in the hotel and two of our trips were cancelled — but I got to ride a camel and we got a banging tan so f*** it.

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

Marinating in the sun. My body obviously, not food. I ain't cooking on holiday, are you mad?

If we could teleport you to one place in New Zealand for a week-long holiday, where would it be?

I've never been before so I don't know — somewhere where you can paraglide?

How about for a dream holiday internationally?

I'd love to do Route 66 or another sick road trip across America in a Mustang — that would be incredible.

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

Jumped into the pool from my balcony in Cyprus. Very, very stupid. But a sick jump obviously.

Aisle seat or window seat?

Window every time. I gotta sleep man and I can hold wee in for hours so it doesn't matter about going to the toilet — I'm like a camel.

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

Headphones. Gotta listen to tunes and drown out people's mundane conversations on the plane.

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

Always wear flip-flops in communal showers.

What was the most memorable meal you've had while travelling?

The Cheesecake Factory in Chicago. My goodness. Best cheesecake in the world.

What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?

A mini frying pan from Bubba Gump Shrimp in New York with a cookie cup explosion dessert in it.

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

Estonia at the end of May to continue doing my show The Ballad of Sarah Callaghan — can't wait!

Sarah Callaghan performs The Ballad of Sarah Callaghan, May 9-12, at Q Theatre.
