Take a container ship trip and experience life on board with the crew. Eat with them, play cards with them and become part of their every day life.
Which three items do you always pack?
Digital camera, ipod (sorry to be so materialistic!) and toilet roll (you never know!)
Which passport stamp are you proudest of?
My one from Churchill, Manitoba, Canada - polar bear capital of the world
Which passport stamp would you most like to have?
Um, let me think...
Where or what is your guilty travel pleasure?
Borneo, Malaysia - staying in a 5 star resort when I was airline staff and could get discounts
Window or aisle?
Initially window, but when I became a seasoned traveller, I have to now say aisle as there's more room to spread out.
But I prefer travelling by ship - it's more environmentally friendly.
