S: Do you like to shop on holiday?

TF: I don’t go for souvenirs usually. I’m somebody who enjoys a lot of sugar and so I buy a lot of sweets and chocolates and candy. Like local candy that’s local to the region, I will often stash that and bring it back. I don’t often shop for clothes abroad. I feel like I can get that online, and why stuff my bag with things that are going to weigh a tonne… I travel a lot. A lot. A lot. I’m usually in the air at least two or three times a week and I travel internationally probably once every month or two. So I travel with the Transferwise debit card so that I’m not charged a fortune for shopping in a country that’s not my own.

S: With all that travel, do you still enjoy getting away or do you find that it’s sometimes a bit of a chore?

TF: Erm, that’s a good question. If it’s for work and only work, and I’m in and out in a heartbeat – the answer is no, I don’t love to travel. I will go to the place for a day or two, do the job that I am required to do and then leave. If it’s an actual vacation I’m more than happy to travel, so it depends on the situation. The majority of my life is travel these days and it’s often for work and that’s not my favourite part of the job. Usually twice a year I get to go away on holiday, and that’s the bit I love.

S: What’s your advice for packing well for a holiday?

TF: Go for a capsule wardrobe in your suitcase. Stick to as many simple colours that complement each other as possible, and wear the heaviest things that you plan to take with you on the plane. Even if you end up taking your coat off and putting it in the overhead compartment or taking your clunky shoes off and putting a slipper on instead. I always carry light slippers in my backpack, so that way if I’ve got heavy shoes on, clunky shoes, I can take them off and chuck on some slippers instead.
