Do you travel light or heavy?
Light. Coming home with less than you left with is a good sign that many friends were made along the way.

Cattle or first class?
Cattle. When your eyes are closed and fast asleep what's the difference?

I can't travel without ...
My laptop to Skype the family at home.

What type of suitcase to you carry?
Backpack with wheels - it adds a taste of veteran sophistication to the "hit the trail" mentality.

What's always in your hand luggage?
Snacks like fruit and protein bars.

Are you a planner or last minute packer?
Last minute. Enjoy every moment till the end.

What's the best thing you've brought back from a trip?
Gifts given to me that I was able to palm off to the family back home.

Favourite or most exciting airport to land in?
Nothing beats Auckland - I know where my home is and that is where my heart is.

Best packing tip?
Pack in categories rather than a bag full of clothes - casual, day, formal, sport ..

Most memorable trip?
Shooting a doco in Japan - we hustled for every shot and ended up with the experience of a lifetime.

What do you do while on the plane?
Endure and enjoy.
