      Hi there rhiana8,

      I am very lucky because I get to travel to a lot of places for science, but I also reeeeeaaally like travelling so I go on quite a lot of holidays too (when I can afford it!).

      I have been to America, Australia and Europe for science and places like Thailand, South America and Iceland on holiday.

      I really want to visit India and Vietnam. They are supposed to be beautiful and I really LOVE trying new foods. Do you like travelling? Is there a country that you really want to visit?

      I haven’t travelled that much during my PhD but as an undergraduate I went on a field course to Iceland. I’ve been on holiday to a fair few places (most of them in England ;)) but I don’t think that’s quite what you were asking about.

      My supervisor is always travelling though. He was in China at the start of the month and he’s now in Iceland. He’s always flying all over the place!

      Hi Rhiana,
      I’ve been very lucky and have travelled to lots of different countries. I lived in the USA for a couple of years so I could study to get my Masters degree.

      I’ve never counted up all the countries I’ve travelled to as I travel so much for work, and also for holidays. I have mostly travelled in Europe though. I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy, France and Spain. I’ve travelled to places like Austria, Slovakia, Iceland and Norway for work and Turkey and Malta for holiday. There are more places I’ve visited in Europe, but I can’t think of them all!

      I’ve also spent a lot of time in Ecuador, in South America for work. I travelled all the way to New Zealand to catch the scientific drilling ship I worked on for 2 months, but only actually stayed in NZ for a few days. I’d love to see more of New Zealand, Australia and South America.

      I’ve never been to Asia or Africa and would love to go.
