This is quite a tricky one for me as I’m not a natural traveler. Which is strange in a way, because as a child, my mother took me to various different places, and I loved it. But as an adult I find travel exhausting. Sensory overload and anxiety central. I think as a child there were none of the responsibilities when travelling that there are as an adult. It terrifies me that there are so many things that could go wrong.

I can’t think of one place internationally that I am desperate to visit for the first time. At a push, maybe Iceland or the Norwegian Fjords. I would definitely revisit The Netherlands if I had someone with me. And Vancouver BC. I loved the small corner of Canada that I got to see when I was a kid. As lucky as I was to visit the US and Canada aged 10, my memories now are hazy. Other than how much there was to take in.

I am really happy spending my holidays in the UK and have a few places I like to go back to. I always describe Butlin’s at Bognor Regis as my safe place and my home from home. I get it’s absolutely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I know it like the back of my hand. I know what’s going to happen. I’ve been visiting nearly 20 years now. There are a couple of other holiday parks and seaside towns I know well too that I love and have visited over the years.

In this country there are a few places I’d like to visit; York, Whitby, Skegness. I admit I would particularly like to visit Butlins at Skegness, as it was the first of all Billy Butlin’s holiday camps. I am fascinated by the history and would love to see the original 1936 chalet.

A trip to the seaside, pretty much any seaside is always welcome. Especially if I can get my toes in the water. And if that beach should happen to be in Cornwall; even better. There’s something about the pace of life in the West Country that suits me well.

So there we go. I like having my stuff around me, which is why Roger, our motorhome, is ideal. I love the freedom of setting off when we feel like it, and creating our own choice of destinations. It’s travel that works with my limitations.
