The world according to Sparkielspa

Mountain/Desert/Ocean/Jungle... which one are you?
Hard, hard, hard decision but would have to be sea, great wildlife, amazing scenery oh and theres the food as well!

What was your first great travel experience?
As a student I saved up my grant (when you still got them!) and flew to New York never having flown anywhere before - from that moment on I was hooked on travel!

What has been your favourite journey?
Travelling to the Atlas Mountains from Marrakesh

What are your Top 5 places worldwide?
Zambia, Farne Islands, San Francisco, Bled in Slovenia, Marrakesh

Recommend a special place to stay
Old Pines just north of Fort William. Amazing views of Ben Nevis, great walking, so friendly that you feel like one of the family and cooking to die for!

Which three items do you always pack?
Travel wash, bottle opener and a torch

Which passport stamp are you proudest of?
Zambia - my first time in Africa

Which passport stamp would you most like to have?
Somewhere in Central or Southern America

Where or what is your guilty travel pleasure?
Can't resist the bookshops at the airport - always take three times as many books as I am going to read!
