Do you travel light or heavy?
I attempt for light but it depends on the destination.
Cattle or first class?
Cattle all the way ... yay! And silent prayers for a reasonably empty plane and a whole row to myself. This is happiness when it happens.
I can't travel without ...
My greenstone necklace.
What's always in your hand luggage?
Vanity Fair.
What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
An ass bra from Tokyo. Unblessed with junk in my trunk, it's my booty's best friend.
Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?
I was actually seated next to the pilot for some landings at hilltop airports in Papua New Guinea when filming for The Blue Continent.
Best packing tip?
Less is more ... and roll.
Most memorable trip?
Dancing with gay male strippers in Nicaragua was pretty unforgettable. Dragging Julian around on a dog leash while I was dressed in a catsuit at a fetish party in Amsterdam is high on the list. Swimming with a humpback whale in Moorea was incredible, and the elephants surrounding my jeep this year in South Africa. But, honestly, a holiday with friends in Southern Spain with an endless supply of cheese and wine is number one.
What do you do while on the plane?
I generally struggle with my inability to sleep, so I develop a good relationship with the in-flight entertainment system.
