Eating and reading.
If we could teleport you to one place in New Zealand for a week-long holiday, where would it be?
On to the houseboat for rent in the Whangaroa harbour in Northland. We've been a few times before. Waking up early to fish for lunch, diving off the roof, swimming in beautiful coves and taking amazing bushwalks. Bliss.
How about for a dream holiday internationally?
Greece is on the top of my list. We're hoping to get there next year.
What's the dumbest thing you've ever done when travelling?
Leaving my passport behind in Sitges when travelling to the south of Spain. We couldn't get into Gibraltar and couldn't take the ferry over to Africa for the day.
Complete this sentence: I can't travel without ...
Noise-cancelling headphones. I could never sleep on planes before I got them.
What's the best travel tip you've ever been given?
Never leave your passport behind (given to me by myself, after leaving my passport behind).
What was the most memorable meal you've had while travelling?
I've had some pretty memorable meals all over the world but my number one will always be sitting at Fleur's Place in Moeraki, eating a whole blue cod with Fleur telling me about how the restaurant came to be.
What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
Honestly? Lame but true — the memories.
Favourite airport to land at?
Changi in Singapore. If you've got a few hours lay-over pack your togs, go to the swimming pool on the roof.
What's the next trip you've got planned?
A week in Rarotonga for a friend's birthday.
Todd Emerson is in 'Hudson & Halls Live!', June 27-July 9 at Q Theatre, Auckland. He'll also be in the third season of 'Westside' on Three.
