INTERVIEW
AND THE WORST?
When I went to shoot in the Bahamas and lost my suitcase and the buggy on the flight. I was pregnant too. Then the baby-changing bag was stolen when I was sitting outside on the pavement crying. Any mum will tell you, that kind of thing is just awful. The best thing that came out of it, though, was that I made a new baby carrier, which ended up going into my travel range.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DESTINATION?
I try not to go back to a hotel because there are so many places in the world and I want to experience them all. I don’t want to get into a rut – I like to be a bit Indiana Jones about it all. A destination is never good the second time round because you have so many expectations.
WHAT’S BEEN YOUR BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE?
When planning a holiday, I feel like Dr Dolittle when he opens a map and asks: “Right, where shall we go now?” I am a real nomad. It comes from my dad being in the navy. I always wanted to see the world. For me, the most important experiences are those that you will never be able to recreate. Going to Bob Marley’s house in Jamaica and standing on the Rock of Zion with my girls, or going to Chichén Itzá and clapping outside the pyramid as we heard the bird sounds coming out – that is my kind of travel. I will enjoy going anywhere I can dive and show the girls sharks or dolphins in their natural habitat. I want my children to have an affinity with travel, rather than a fear of it.
WHICH DESTINATIONS ARE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?
The Galapagos Islands are on my list, and the girls want to visit the elephants in India. I also want to take them to the Ganges – we always try to build a story around our travel. I find it really frustrating when people write off an entire country, or even a continent, because they heard a particular story about it. In India, for example, you can have a vastly different experience in different areas.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A HOLIDAY?

It doesn’t have to be elaborate. It can be very simple, as long as my family and I are all together. But if you put me in the cold I will be miserable – it has to be sunny. I prefer to go to a villa than a hotel, so we can get back to nature and run around naked.
