Unforgettable dining experience?
The catamaran pulled up to a stunning slice of Jamaica beach and we feasted on roasted yam, curried goat and stewed oxtail cooked on an open fire.
Pro family travel tip?
Prepare and then relax. Moms often set the tone for the whole family; if you are relaxed, confident and looking forward to fun – so will the rest of the tribe.
Where next?
Visiting faraway family and friends is the priority this year, but then, I am going to Petra.
London Office

Most exhilarating adventure overseas?
Strapping on crampons atop France's Aiguille du Midi to cross the ‘arête’ in high winds, and trying not to be blown down the 50-degree pitch either side. Thankfully the magic of skiing La Vallée Blanche’s stunning 20km off-piste route back down into Chamonix, followed by an extra-large vin chaud, helped my buttocks to unclench.
Where’s your next trip next?
Visiting greatly-missed friends in Lisbon, and then ticking a big one off my bucket list and driving a camper van around Iceland, spotting waterfalls and (hopefully!) the Northern Lights.
Something someone would never guess about you? As the daughter of a championship sailor I was on boats almost before I could walk...but I’m actually a horrible swimmer. I've found that it’s the best incentive to avoid capsizing!
