Travel Gallery: Lowdown on the high-flyers

Andrew Daddo, TV travel presenter

Andrew, a presenter on The Great Outdoors since 2002, travels internationally three times a year.

"I HAVE very little to do with our holiday destinations because I spend so much time at work talking about those things.

"So my wife will ask me about it and I have interest in where we're going, but little input.

"This year we're going skiing, to Thredbo I think, for the first time in 15 years because generally I hate skiing.

"But our main family holiday is at Narooma where we camp for about a week every January with about three or four other families.

"It's nothing fancy, just tents and an ablution block.

"I love it because we can be feral. I mean, we'd go close to everyone showering once a day but you never know once you're up there.

"I love the Australian-ness of it. We have the boat and we do a bit of fishing, though I've never caught a fish in six years.

"The fanciest holiday we have ever had was when we did a home swap with a family in Paris for two weeks over Christmas.

"That was a really big deal for us. The family who owned the house where we stayed also had a car we could use and another house in Normandy. It was a pretty good way to holiday with kids. I'd definitely do that type of holiday again."
