Name: Annette

Age: 43

Occupation: Senior travel consultant

Favourite travel destination?: Turkey

Best meal you’ve ever had while travelling?: At the Antique Turquois Café, Sultanhamet, Turkey

Best kiss?: In Luxor going through customs after saying goodbye to my lover,  he jumped through security for one last air bending smooch.

Scariest drive?: A public bus in Cairo.

Where is the best place you’ve ever stayed?: A boatel on the Danube in Budapest, Hungary.

What has been the big ‘wow’ moment of your travelling life?: Cappadocia region, Turkey. Did a 3 hour hike at sunset through Rose Valley in the winter. Got to the top of the valley to watch the sun set over the valley covered in snow.  Was a moment where I knew I could achieve anything as I was blown away by the beauty and on top of the world.

What is your number one travel tip?: Pack lots of extra socks.  It’ s one thing you cannot do without, and very handy to pack little fragile things in, when you’re returning home.
