Well, it depends where to. I'm certainly not afraid of taking risks for a bit of excitement and I get a real buzz from a bit of danger. But it would have to be a journey to somewhere interesting, somewhere that was worth visiting. I wouldn't want to do it just for the excitement. 


Well, it certainly helps with the day to day problems like buying tickets, getting information and so on. But I'd say it's generally better to try to speak the local language if you can, because then you can get to know people, talk to them on their own terms, and that's when real communication starts happening. On the other hand, you can't learn the language of every country you want to visit, and in those cases English is definitely better than nothing. 


Normally, I go to Croatia and the Adriatic Sea for a couple of weeks in the summer, which is wonderful, it's such a lovely area, but the chance to go even further afield and have some completely different experiences, well, for example to spend two or three months traveling around Africa, would be fabulous. It’d be great to see some of those places you only normally see on television, for example the Ngorongoro Crater or the Kruger National Park. I'd really love that. I'd be the chance of a lifetime.
