The world according to satkinson
Mountain/Desert/Ocean/Jungle... which one are you?
Mountain - nothing can beat the rugged beauty of white ice and snow on black rock.
What was your first great travel experience?
An overland trip from London to Kathmandu when I was 19 - most of it was pretty hard (group travel at its most extreme!) - I left early but saw some incredible places and it gave me the courage to travel on my own.
What has been your favourite journey?
First trip to the Antarctic Peninsular - nothing can prepare you for the sheer pristine beauty of the place.
What are your Top 5 places worldwide?
Iceland has just leapt to the top of the list - it is so beautiful and rugged. Chilean Lake District for its idyllic scenery, anywhere in Patagonia for its wildness, Japan for its wackiness, Nepal for the Himalayas - but so many more...
Recommend a special place to stay
Refugio Tinquilco in the Huerquehue National Park near Pucon - my favourite spot in the world! They have delicious food, lovely staff, the setting is unbeatable and it's cheap!
Which three items do you always pack?
Camera, JB (small felt crocodile who lives in a plastic bag on the road) and bottle opener (love the Chilean red wine too!)
Which passport stamp are you proudest of?
South Pole - not a real one, as no-one owns it, but still pretty special. Plus just got Greenland (well, it's a Denmark EU one, but still proud!)
Which passport stamp would you most like to have?
Bhutan & Yemen
Where or what is your guilty travel pleasure?
Going back to places I love again and again. Just been back to Iceland for 4th time (many more to come!)
Window or aisle?
Window - especially if flying from London to the middle or west coast of the US as you go over Greenland (if you're lucky!)
