Australia will always have a special place in my heart. Travelling up the East Coast was an unforgettable adventure, from feeding wild dolphins and exploring the Whitsunday Islands on a three-day boat trip to watching sunsets and sunrises at sea and snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. My favourite spot has to be Noosa Heads. I loved walking the coastal trail into Noosa National Park and swimming in the Fairy Pools, it’s got that classic Australian beach town vibe that’s so hard to beat. I honestly can’t wait to go back!

My favourite cruise line has to be Princess Cruises. I’ve sailed on three of their ships, and every experience has felt fresh and unique. The staff onboard are incredible, their attention to detail really makes a difference, and the food is out of this world. I still think daily about the flavoured salts they bring out with your steak in the onboard steakhouse (it's the little things!). Then there’s the Princess Medallion, being able to order drinks and food straight to your sun lounger? That’s what I call the perfect holiday.

My dream trip would combine adventure and relaxation in Tanzania, starting with an unforgettable safari through the Serengeti, spotting the Big Five and witnessing the incredible landscapes and wildlife up close. After that, I’d head to Zanzibar for the ultimate wind-down, staying in a beachfront hotel, dipping my toes into crystal-clear turquoise waters, and soaking up the peaceful island atmosphere. The mix of safari adventure and island bliss sounds like the perfect balance, and an experience I’d remember forever.
