      New Zealand. It’s such a diverse country. In two weeks there I climbed a glacier, bungee jumped 134m, sky dived out of a helicopter and swam with wild dolphins in the middle of the ocean. It’s an awesome place. So beautiful!

      India.

      My friend who lives in Ireland was going home to India to get married. I went to the wedding and on holiday for two weeks after it.

      It is just so different over there. Everywhere you look there are people. Going to the wedding so strange. Totally different customs.

      Getting to see the Taj Mahal was breath taking. It amazing how they built it. I would love to go back and spend more time in the county side.

      Uugh good question! I really don’t know offhand. Watching elite level sport is pretty incredible IMO. I would say the most impressed I’ve ever been by something was when I visited the science museum in London and saw the difference engine. This thing was designed by a guy called Charles babbage way before electronic computers were invented. Basically what it is is a mechanical computer operated by dials and pulleys. The thing is full of cogs and gears – it’s amazingly complex – it f*cking blows my mind that pretty much one guy designed this thing! Good art also impresses me – especially love sculpture – I was so impressed by the statue of David when I saw it in florence

      I have been in Colorado, in the desert of the Utah. I have been there for almost 3 weeks to work in a Mars analogue environment. I was the Crew Engineer of my mission and we were on “Mars” for 3 weeks to study human performances. Check out :http://mdrs.marssociety.org/home/crew-158
