After hopping around the world for 4 months, I have finally returned back to the UK and, back to reality, into my role at Avis. As eager as always to pack in as much as possible, I managed to squeeze in an itinerary that took me through Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. They’ll be plenty of time to provide a full update on my travels but as a short introduction I’ve listed my top 12 highlights below (getting it down to 12 was very tough!)…

• Visiting the awesome Angkor temples while being humbled by the people of Siem Reap, Cambodia
• Trekking through the jungle and playing with tigers in Chiang Mai, Thailand
• Climbing the spectacular rock formations at Railay, Thailand
• Diving the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
• Surfing the Gold Coast, Australia
• Bungee jumping the Nevis Highwire in Queenstown, New Zealand
• Cruising through Milford Sound, New Zealand
• Hiking the Fox Glacier, New Zealand
• Swimming with wild dusky dolphins in Kaikoura, New Zealand
• Living a life of excess in Las Vegas, USA
• Visiting the visually-overwhelming national, state and tribal parks of Arizona and Utah, USA
• Chilling out in the culturally diverse city of San Francisco, USA
