There are so many places that I’ve loved visiting for different reasons, but Cambodia and Vietnam top my favourites. There’s just so much to see and do in these countries that I have a huge list of high points, including my interactions with the local people, the delicious food, the diverse scenery (such as the limestone islands of Halong Bay), and the life and vibrancy of the Old Quarter of Hanoi, found in its hectic labyrinth of alleys and streets. Angkor’s temples are rightly legendary too – the architecture and setting is astounding.

I’m going to challenge myself to climb Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest freestanding mountain. Experiencing the transcendent view from the summit at sunrise, along with an incredible sense of achievement on reaching the top, would be really awesome. I gain peace, wellbeing and gratitude from hiking in incredible scenery and you can’t over-value those things.

California and Western USA – having a young family has meant holidays have mainly centered around the pool and beach in recent years, but our first family adventure holiday to California ticked all the boxes and was an amazing experience. Everywhere we visited was a highlight; the bright lights of Las Vegas, the sheer expanse and awesomeness of the Grand Canyon, the fun of Disney, cycling and people watching on Venice Beach and the cool chilled beach vibe of San Diego.

I wish to explore the many facets of Brazil, starting with a trek up Corcovado to meet Christ the Redeemer, idling around on the Rio beaches and exploring the safaris along the Paraguay river for a view of wildcats and otters. The tour through Pantanal seems like an amazing opportunity for adventure with splashes of exotic cuisine, luxurious outback locations and comes bundled in with the phenomenal nightlife on offer by Rio.

I absolutely loved my time in China. The fact that the big cities seemed familiar to cities back in India while distinctly maintaining their own identity filled me with wonder. In terms of touristy stuff, the trek on the Great Wall was challenging at times but lead to spots with breathtaking views over the hills while the Forbidden City across Tiananmen Square leaves you in awe with its splendour. The variety of food on offer is paradise for a food junkie like myself who loves to experiment, though sometimes the pungent smells can be an attack on the senses. What was most fascinating was the nightlife in China, which was full of colours and sounds, going through to the early hours of the morning. To top it all off, the serene walks around the idyllic countryside through the paddy fields makes for the ideal beginning for a day full of adventure.

My family is Australian so we visit the country regularly, but my favourite getaway has to be the first time we drove along the Great Ocean Road. We spent three days driving by the glimmering Pacific and through wild Australian countryside, watching the sun set between the roughly sculpted pillars of the Twelve Apostles and visiting eerie little towns savaged by bushfires. My fondest memories of the trip were driving along the ridge of a mountain, so high that we were surrounded by the mist of a low-hanging cloud, and listening to waves crashing against the cliff outside our hotel in the quaint coastal town of Port Campbell.

I’ve never visited South America and I’m desperate to go; my ideal itinerary would include the most vibrant cities, stopping at Mexico City, Lima, Cusco, Rio and Buenos Aires. Everything from the street-food to the vibrantly-coloured houses call to me, and as a big history nerd I’d love to explore the ancient Aztec, Mayan and Incan temples and citadels. It’s almost a crime that I’ve never seen Machu Picchu, a must-do for everyone- but I barely speak a word of Spanish at the moment, so maybe I should start there.

Coming from an Indian Family, I was always curious to explore the vast diversity of India. Traveling alone for basketball tournaments since I was 12 years of age, I had the opportunity to experience various glimpses of India; the gorgeous Taj Mahal, the historical forts of Rajasthan, the majestic Charminar, the great spiritual Golden Temple and other adrenaline-pumping adventures such as river rafting in Ludhiana and paragliding in Pragpur. My favourite part about travelling in and around the various states of India is having the opportunity to sample the diverse cuisines the country offers. Being a foodie, the extensive spread of sweets and savouries always wins my heart.

A safari is top of the list for our next family adventure. With two animal loving children our Family Safari Adventure in Zambia would definitely be a hit. Lesser known than other African safari destinations but promising a truly authentic safari experience, taking an elephant safari and seeing Victoria Falls from a helicopter would be amazing experiences and create some incredible holiday memories.
