Considering I only got my first passport only 20 years ago, I think I’ve done really well on my quest to see the world. Countries I have visited include Egypt, Israel, Jordan, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, The Comoros Islands, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, England, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, Sint Maarten, Jamaica and the USA.

Some of my best travel experiences include:

• Watching Sting sing live in concert in front of the Pyramids of Giza
• Taking a hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, Egypt
• White Water Rafting near Victoria Falls, Zambia
• Attending a U2 360° Concert in Cape Town, South Africa
• Honeymooning in Paris (oh la la!)
• Scuba diving in the Red Sea, the Comoros Islands, Cape Town (wait…what? sharks!  don’t worry, they are the friendly kind) and Jamaica
