I have a very long life "to-do" list and I really don't want to miss anything on it.

I never really know what to write in these but I shall attempt to sum up 25 years in a paragraph. I was born in Chester, England and I am so grateful for that. It is the most gorgeous English town and provided me with such an amazing childhood. I stayed in Chester until I was 10, with the exception of 1 1/2 years in Hong Kong where we relocated for my Dads work. At 10 I moved to Sydney, Australia where I stayed until I was 16 when I moved to the country town of Wagga Wagga for 3 years to complete a degree in Television Production. After a few more years in Sydney and 6 months in Melbourne, I moved to London at the start of this year as I needed a change of scenery (a British passport doesnt hurt either). Since uni I have worked in various forms of television: drama, documentary, music video, childrens, and it was music videos that interested me the most that I began directing my own whilst in Sydney. Throughout all of this though, it has been travel that has completely taken over my life and now I just see work as a means to fund my travels, all the while trying to find ways I can travel for a living. In 2004 I produced a documentary on the Tibetan Childrens Village which won Grand Jury Prize for Documentary Short at the New York Independent Film Festival, so if I could have a long career in travel documentaries, well that would be ideal.

Eat (good) sushi, drink (good) wine, sit in an airport departure lounge knowing I am about to visit somewhere else for the first time, conceptualise/direct music videos, play my rickety old piano, listening to songs that instantly re-create memories, and anything to do with cats or The Brady Bunch.

Surrounding myself with motivated people who themselves are inspired to not follow what everyone says and to do what makes them happy. Anyone who still believes what they wanted to do as a child is still possible is someone I want to be friends with.

Animal cruelty wouldn't exist.

Bhutan because it hasn't changed for centuries, and not many people have travelled there. Their culture hasn't been adapted for tourists, and it was refreshing to see villages that would still exist if tourism ceased completely. In Bhutan you have to book on a tour to visit so there was a lot of driving, but it was an amazing country.

Africa. Any of it and all of it. I would love to work as a volunteer with animals, I would love to sleep in tent in the middle of nowhere but not be able to sleep because I can hear lions, I want to live with tribes but actually stay longer than the tourist groups do...sigh. It's quite depressing writing this at my work desk with my measley bit of tinsel but alas it gives me something to look forward to!

Just getting off the plane, having a rough idea of where I want to go, but not set schedule, forgetting everything that is going on back home and just doing whatever I feel like in a new place. And preferably not having to ask HR's permission to go.

Hmmm if I HAVE to pick one I would say Croatia. So many cats...I was in heaven. Unfortunately no sushi though.

I have 5: Thimpu, Bhutan; Czesky Krumlov, Czech Republic; Chester, UK; Korcula, Croatia; Kathmandu, Nepal

Everything...everything that could possibly be associated with travelling. I love everything from bar hopping to missing flights to waiting for buses. I love arriving at a hostel and lying on the bed for the first time. I love getting lost and having t

2 months around Eastern Europe in 2005. Croatia was amazing, Slovakia was unexpected (including the mystery of the dead bees in the locals attic we were staying in), Czesky Krumlov was stunning and Heviz was....Heviz.

Cathay Pacific - they are so attentive, always happy and the only ones that ever upgraded me to business class.

Any travel section in a book shop

For airlines I just look online. I find that travel agents often miss deals which I end up taking in to them to book for me. I have never rented a c

I wouldn't know. Since parting ways with family driving holidays I have only been on one road trip and they used a George Bush GPS system which seeme

I guess there are so many opinions and theories on climate change and environmental issues that you just have to follow what you believe it right. It's the classic situation of "its so big, what could I possibly do to help?" but for me I know that even though my actions won't have huge, immediate results, I just try and do what I can. I make sure lights are off when they are not needed, I contribute to http://www.carbonfund.org/ whenver I fly somewhere, I recycle when I can...Slowly I'm realising volunteer work is probably my next step so I am looking into various programmes, but really, if everyone individual plays his/her part, the culminative changes will start to show.
