A holiday camp in Great Yarmouth. My dad, who was a turf accountant, used to send me, my brother and my mum off because he was always working. Back then, holidays weren't associated with sunshine I remember wind, wellies and walks on the coast.

Favourite place in the British Isles?

I get to travel to some amazing places and I'm constantly thinking the grass is always greener. But if I was living abroad, I know I'd be missing London particularly Richmond Park. I've also really got into road cycling lately, so I'm a big fan of Box Hill in Surrey.

Best holiday?

I've been to two places this year that I'd visited before, but hadn't fully appreciated: Mustique in the Caribbean for a friend's wedding, and Portofino on the Ligurian coast of Italy, where I went to escape the season in Ibiza. I loved it because there were no nightclubs and nothing was open late.

What have you learnt from your travels?

Get out and walk. I'm always stuck in jets, cars, trains, planes and, some of the time, I don't even know where I've been. I arrive late, go to the hotel, sort my music out and then go straight to the club. It drives me crazy. So now I just like to walk for at least half an hour around a place. Itgives me a completely different perspective.

Ideal travelling companion?

My wife, because we always have a great time. But I do like travelling alone, too. In a very busy life, the time you get alone on planes becomes invaluable.

Beach bum, culture vulture or adrenalin junkie?
