I have dived in many locations around the world, ranging from the Red Sea to New Zealand but diving in the Galapagos has to be one of the most memorable. It is not for the faint hearted as conditions can be challenging but we were rewarded with white tip reef sharks, a Galapagos shark, turtles, golden rays, sea lion and all manner of fish – I shall have to return to see the hammerhead sharks.

One of the most unique and overwhelming places I have visited is the salt flats of the Salar d’Uyuni in the high Altiplano of Bolivia. At around 4,000 m, the salt flats shimmer into the far distant horizon. It is impossible to imagine anything surviving here but after driving for miles, you suddenly find yourself at one of several oases in the salt – a rich red lake packed with squawking pink flamingos.

Everything about travelling to Antarctica is adventurous and thrilling, from crossing Drake’s Passage to the sighting of the first penguins, elephant seals and whales. However the memories that linger longest with me are the colours and the scenery. I was so surprised by the range of blues, turquoises and greys as the sun bounced off the ice, creating landscapes that were far more stunning & powerful than I could ever have imagined.

I was lucky to attend a 2-week music festival in Bolivia where orchestras, choirs and small music groups perform a range of music from medieval to baroque. Our multi-national group traveled several hours each day through savannah and jungle to reach each glittering venue - the churches of the old Mission towns and Santa Cruz. It was a wonderful musical experience but also gave me an impression of Bolivia not usually available to visitors.

I was fortunate enough to spend an evening in a hammock, camping at the base of Angel Falls in the Canaima National Park, Venezuela. Discovered by the Aviator Explorer Jimmy Angel in 1935, the falls have the longest single drop at nearly a kilometre. With only the falls, a clear moonlit sky and the spectacular table topped mountains of the Gran Sabana to gaze at, it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Rising early, we set off for Tikal, Guatemala’s ancient Mayan World Heritage site, deep in the heart of the rainforest. After a steep climb up the stepped side of Temple IV, majestically towering over the Peten Jungle, our reward at the top was a breathtaking view. From our position, above the dense canopy of tall trees, we watched silently as the sun came up, slowly unveiling before us the peaks of several other impressive Mayan structures stretching far away. I still remember how we felt so privileged to be witnessing such an amazing scene.
