Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

You may remember a while back I won a blogging competition where first prize was a week-long stay on Elba Island, Italy. Well, as part of the prize package, I recently participated in an interview with Silvia over at Trippando.

Interview with Ian, the #momtripelba winner

Please give a short summary of who you are what you are doing

You may remember Ian from our recent #momtripelba competition? He was the lucky winner with his entry on beaches. Ian is a 20-something Australian guy who gave up his career, packed his backpack, and headed to Europe for a couple of years of solo travel. Ian started out with no real plan, just 2 years of travel beginning in Turkey. That was a year ago, many adventures and friendships later, brings us to today where Ian is earning his dive certifications in Dahab, Egypt and about to sail the Nile, see the pyramids, and explore everything Egypt has to offer.

What is your favourite travel destination, and why?

It’s so hard to pick a favourite travel destination…
For me the best travel memories have been because of the people I’ve met, and the fun we’ve had. But in a year, how can I pick just one? There were the great people I met in the Greek Islands, Hungary, and the romance I had in Croatia. Every day brings a new adventure, and almost every week a new travel destination. The best times I’ve had have been with good, adventurous, spontaneous, friendly, and outgoing people (often CouchSurfers); and almost always in the summertime — there’s something about summer — people are more open to having a great time.
