I have been to Las Vegas several times, I never tire of it.

It's definitely somewhere I feel everyone should experience once in their lifetime. Its like Disney for adults, there's so much to do and see.

You can make it as luxurious or as budget as you like. Time stands still there, you can be eating in a michelin star restaurant one minute, and next be ziplining above Fremont street. The hotels are outstanding. Even if you don't gamble there's something for everyone here. The clubbing scene is insane with so many celebrity shows and club appearances, the pool parties really are something else! Each time you visit it gets bigger & better. With excursions to the Hoover Dam &The Grand Canyon, it's certainly one to tick off the bucket list.

Mexico was the first Caribbean island I visited, it's the only one I've been back to more than once.

I remember stepping out onto the beach in Cancun & it took my breath away, it really is picture perfect. The sea is so warm it's an amazing experience.

If you haven't visited the Caribbean this would 100 percent be my recommendation to you. The hotels and their facilities are on another level, the restaurants & entertainment are on point something for every traveller... Couples, families and solo travellers alike.

I just love Mexican food & tequila certainly makes you happy in Mexico, the cocktails are amaze, even better when they are being served poolside looking over an infinity pool. 

If excursions are your thing then this place has it all, some of the best value excursions I have ever done have been in Mexico. From snorkelling through Xcaret, pirate ship lobster dinner battle dinners along with cultural visits to Chichin Itza, which is one of the 7 wonders of the world.

Whether in Cancun or Riviera Maya these trips are accessible to everyone. The nightlife excursions to Coco Bongos are an absolute must! What a show!

New Zealand is a place of true beauty! I was fortunate enough to go travelling when I was younger and had planned to go backpacking around the world...

New Zealand was the first port of call & I actually ended up living there for over 2 years. So if you're planning a gap year then I'm your guy to help you plan that! Hopefully you get further than I did!

In New Zealand you can literally travel 30 mins from a city to an idyllic beach setting.

The north and south island are something to behold. I would recommend anyone to visit. It really is like stepping back in time, the culture and way of life is so relaxed. You have the Tongariro crossing if hiking is your thing and the South island has it all, skiing, snowboarding its immense, definitely a skill I don't possess.

Queenstown, Hobbiton, glow worms in the Waitomo caves the Maori cultural villages in Rotorua & not to forget the luge in Rotorua omg, Mt Cook, Lake Taupo, Sky dives, The Sky Tower...

Its just truly an amazing destination that I am now lucky enough to call my second home, I usually visit once a year now to see my NZ Whanau (family).

Its a great base to see other islands such as Rarotonga, Fiji, Cook islands....

You can get so many budget fares taking you to so many nearby destinations, destinations that every European dreams of visiting!

The Kiwis have it all at their feet, as we dream of seeing destinations like  scenes from Beaches. Kiwis by their own admission... Take what they have on their doorstep for granted. They dream of seeing Europe & all of the destinations accessible to us that we also take for granted.

You will be welcomed with open arms there that's for sure.
