This summer I went on a cruise around the Caribbean. I’ve got expensive tastes so I always live it up, 5-star hotels, casinos and limousines. It’s important for me to catch some rays when I’m on holiday, I like to come home with a nice suntan. I don’t really like having everything planned out on holiday, I prefer to see how the mood takes me and make decisions as I go.

We don’t like going to really touristy places so we always choose somewhere which is off the beaten track. Some places have been a bit of a culture shock and in others we really had to watch our backs, but we’re very adventurous. We normally go backpacking or hitchhiking so we have to travel light, we only pack the essentials. We don’t have much money so we always travel on a shoestring; we normally stay in hostels or sleep on peoples’ sofas. We’ve definitely got the travel bug; if we’re not travelling then we’re planning the next trip.

I’m a real culture vulture; I feel right at home in a museum, gallery or historical building.  When I go on holiday I like to get up at the crack of dawn and really make the most of the time by going to as many places as possible. I always find time to savour the local delicacies or sit and watch the world go by in a fancy café with a good coffee and a guide book.
