A: Africa. I'd love to experience the culture and see the unique environment.

| Q: What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A: Mrs Excel (wherever possible) - it's awesome experiencing new countries together. I'll also carry a small shoulder pouch with a battery bank and universal cable. I can't stand being stranded!

| Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A: Despite our best laid plans travel is messy and things go wrong. But remember that we get to travel. When something goes wrong, responding calmly will almost always get you the best outcome.

| Q: Favourite forum on AFF? |
A: This gets mentioned a lot, but the Qantas Oneworld Award planning thread. There's so many tips and tricks both for complex, high value itineraries as well as general Qantas award advice.
