Your favourite hotel & why?
The Oriental Bangkok. The service and the suites of this Grand Dame of hotels are outstanding. My last stay was in the Gore Vidal Suite and was exceptional.

Favourite Airline and why?
Singapore Airlines First Class - they are always consistent with their high levels of service and they have the widest beds in the sky. Excellent amenities and exclusive menus. Dom Perignon or Krug - your choice.

A recommendation for our clients?
Next time you are in Venice take a speed boat ride through the canals. It is enlightening.

Most memorable moment when travelling?
Tasting a 1939 Francis Darroze' Armagnac. Staying at his Relaix and enjoying one of his menus at Villeneuve de Marsan in the south west of France.

Favourite thing about travelling?
Being able to tell clients about my experiences and have them take my advice.

Least favourite thing about travelling?
Searching for a great Espresso. It is always good to know to find one in advance.

Couldn’t leave home without?
A good pair of R.M. Williams boots - good for business or pleasure.

Next journey & why you want to go there?
I will be visiting Explora Lodges in Northern Chile and Explora Easter Island. A fantastic insight into Chile.
