Favourite airport: Munich Airport although very big being able to sit outside with a glass of beer or wine once passing security is a novelty.

Dream / Ideal travel buddy:Darren Clarke !! Spend all day on the golf course then good food and Guiness after is my idea of heaven

Somewhere you want to go that you haven’t been to:Have always wanted to do a cruise around the smaller Greek islands been to all the larger islands and love them all. Just love the pace of life, food and Greek hospitality.

Favourite holiday drink: Got to be a chilled glass of white wine in the sun nothing better !!

Favourite holiday food: Oh this is a hard one !! Since I’ve been harping on about Greece I’ll go with Stifado with a Greek salad (all about the Feta cheese)

1 x travel tip: Get to the airport early, dump the luggage, get through security and chill out that’s where the holiday starts

Proudest moment in travel: Representing Emirates in the Pro Am Golf at The Irish Open at Ballyliffin something I will never forget.
