Chile has incredible scenery. Torres Del Paine NP, Perito Moreno Glacier and Mount Fitz Roy are renown for their breath-taking beauty and exhilarating treks. 

One of my favourite places in the world is Iceland. A self-drive itinerary is definitely the best way to see more than just the Golden Circle around the Reykjavik area. It's easy to drive with so little traffic. You might also like to consider a small group journey, there are several companies that offer fantastic trips.

The chaos of India is something you will never forget but it's possible to get away from it all in the deserts in Rajasthan or Tiger spotting at Ranthambore National Park. The Taj Mahal and an early morning boat trip down the Ganges River in Varanasi were also highlights now to be missed. 

Another of my favourite countries is Japan. A visit during Sakura or Cherry Blossom time is extra special. I loved the Japanese castles and gardens. 

I definitely will always choose adventure travel over laying on a beach with a book when arranging my own holidays. South America is a destination that offers a whole heap of adventure. But for those that don't want to climb mountains or swim in the Amazon with piranhas there is the most spectacular scenery on offer. The glaciers of Patagonia left me speechless. 

I've visited the African Continent 5 times. Highlights were the private game parks and of course the people and their diverse culture.
