I once travelled on the Orient Express train from Bangkok to Singapore - it is the kind of luxury I love!. And yet one of my most enjoyable trips was at the other end of the scale, when I trekked in Nepal to the Annapurna Sanctuary. I remember the whole trip so vividly - the dramatic scenery, the freshness of the air, the toils of the trek, the simplicity of the camps. My photos always bring back fond memories.

My first experience of Asia was a visit to Indonesia aged 11 where I saw new and fascinating sights including baby orangutans, bubbling volcanoes and magical temples. It was Indonesia which first caught my imagination but after a number of trips to this exceptionally diverse country, I expanded my Asian horizon to include Malaysia, Thailand, India and China. Asia has so much to offer the visitor.

As a PADI dive master my most memorable experience was on a visit to Borneo last year when I stayed at Kapalai situated just off Sipadan and known as a divers paradise. Once under the water I was astounded by the variety of life - turtles, manta rays and fish of all sizes and colours swam by while we took in the sights of fantastic ship wrecks and meandered along the coral walls. This truly magical place is somewhere I shall never forget.

My fondest memory is of being surrounded by traditionally dressed hill tribe children whilst trekking around the incredibly picturesque village of Sapa in North Vietnam. They shrieked in delight as they realised I could capture their image on a digital camera and then show it to them, reminding me of how happy they seemed without the need for modern technology. In their excitement I was given a chunk of raw sugar cane to chew on while I admired the surrounding rice terraces and views of Mount Fansipan.

My passion for the Indian subcontinent began shortly after leaving school when I lived in Nepal for 5 months, working in a local school and taking advantage of the wonderful trekking opportunities. Later whilst studying Anthropology at university, I also lived in Kerala for three months where I undertook research for my dissertation. Since then I have used every excuse to get back there and have now travelled extensively throughout this vibrant part of the world - I doubt I could ever tire of its sights, sounds and smells!

A memorable trip for me included exclusive use of a beautiful wooden dhoni boat while staying in the Maldives. After miles of sparkling turquoise seas, my seaplane soared down to dock at a floating platform, where I was met by my private dhoni boat. Whilst my butler ensured I had all the food and drink I required, a member of the crew put out a line rod, and my success was rustled up into a culinary feast by the island chef. Days were spent relaxing, fishing, snorkelling – what more could I ask for?
