Favourite travel memory: I was recently solo travelling in Peru, and took a day trip from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain. I was so nervous for the high altitude hike, finishing off at an elevation of just over 17,000 feet, but I managed to make it on foot instead of taking the horses they offer along the way. It was challenging, rewarding, and the views of Rainbow Mountain itself were absolutely stunning.
Favourite destination: I can’t pick just one country, but I absolutely loved Southeast Asia. Thailand has a special place in my heart, having lived there for 2 years, and countries like the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia are just incredible (and cheap!).
