    Where would you go?

    I’m struggling to narrow it down but, at the moment, I fancy a trip to the states taking in Tennesse and Graceland, then off to LA and Vegas for a different experience.

    I’d also love to do Australia and Thailand again. Need a better paid job and extra holiday allowance..!

    How about you?

    I'd go back to Buenos Aires to work and live, I'd do a season skiing in the Alps, I'd ride a push bike the length of Vietnam and go on a spiritual journey through the desert then do a month in Istanbul.

    Mine was always three weeks in a top tier Disney World hotel, eating in their fancy restaurants every night. I've done that twice now.

    So now it would be either Southwest USA (furthest I have got west is Chicago) including Vegas, LA, San Fran and Yosemite, or Hong Kong and Tokyo.

    What can or should I do at the university apart from inspire my daughter?

    I fancy a go on the river, I might take my bike up there and get rural. If you can think of any specifics they'd be welcome.

    I've been lucky in the fact that I've nigh on gone everywhere that I wanted to visit when I first started travelling. Now that I'm in Melbourne I've realised just how much of this vast country there is that's worth seeing so I'll be spending the next couple of years doing this place.

    My favourite trip so far would be when I did central and eastern Europe for my 40th. Spent just over a month visiting Poland, Slovakia, Czech republic and Hungary travelling on public transport and staying in private housing accommodation where possible (staying with a family).

    Blinding..

    Sounds great, I do prefer Western Europe personally. But it's more challenging further east I guess.

    Really fancy going to Vietnam so would like to try and get there sometime soon. It is my 50th next year so I am thinking of ticking something off my bucket list for that. Vietnam one of the possibilities
