My first encounter with Asia began with a three month trip exploring the islands and beaches of Thailand. This sparked my fascination with the beauty of Asia and a curiosity about its wonderful cultures. I’ve since spent time exploring the islands of Indonesia, visiting the ancient temples of Cambodia, and venturing from the south to the north of Vietnam on a motorbike.

In my most recent travels, I've spent time exploring the city of Hong Kong and a month in Rajasthan, India, and I can't wait to see where I'll go next.

For a photography buff like me Asia is full of inspiration and wonder. It's packed with eye-opening adventures, intriguing cultures and delectable food. I just adore it.

Favourite places I've been

Cambodia

The most incredible ancient temples. Sunrise at Angkor Wat should be on everyone's bucket list

Indonesia

Explore islands on horseback or bike and unleash your inner Mowgli with a visit to the Monkey Temple

Malaysia

Feel dwarfed by Kuala Lumpur's shimmering Petronas Towers, and trek through Borneo's wild jungles

Rajasthan

The people are the landscapes are amazing.

Thailand

Beaches, boat trips, diving, jungle elephant treks, delicious food, wonderful massages

Vietnam

Mountains, vast rice paddies, Halong Bay with its floating villages, French-influenced architecture

Travel nuggets

  • Travel with a shawl. It packs light and can be used for conservative experiences such as visiting temples in Asia.

  • Take photos of your favorite designer clothing, in Vietnam and Thailand they'll tailor an outift just for you in the finest silks.

  • Go easy on the spice if you’re asked your heat preference. Food in Asia can be a lot hotter than you may be used to!

  • Wake up early to see the spectacular sunrise in Siem Reap when visiting Angkor Wat. It's much more peaceful at that time of day and you'll avoid being shoulder to shoulder with other visitors.

My hot picks

Aqua Mekong, Mekong River - Vietnam & Cambodia

Float along the Mekong River from Vietnam to Cambodia on a 5 star boutique hotel with a Michelin-starred chef on board.

Shahpura Bagh, Shahpura, Rajasthan, India

An idylic countryside house.

Shinta Mani Shack, Siem Reap & Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Great location just 15 minutes away from the temples, it has a beautiful pool to relax in and the service is impeccable.

Suján Rajmahal Palace, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

A 19th-century royal palace, that's both historical and beautiful. From the lovely green lawns and birds to the striking wallpaper, it's perfect.

The Leela Palace Udaipur, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India

This Bill Bensley designed hotel is like being in Alice in Wonderland.
