Why do you love to travel?
I love to travel because it broadens my horizons. I learn so much whilst I’m in another country or place from understanding the landscape to the food and the culture unique to each destination I travel to. I also learn to be more independent through my travels.
Which country has been your favourite destination?
It’s hard to choose just one country as my favourite destination but I’d have to say Italy is up there along with Turkey and Japan. I think there’s so much these countries have to offer and I’d love to do more when it is safe to do so.
In which country have you felt most at home?
It is definitely Malaysia but apart from that I’d have to say UK. I could definitely live in London as I love that city very much. It has some great bars, restaurants, markets, shops, festivals and so much more.
What is the most unusual souvenir you have brought home?
Hmmmm… a genie lamp from Dubai.
I really wanted one as it was so ornate
