EARLIEST HOLIDAY MEMORY?

A DAY trip to Camber Sands in East Sussex, with Mum and Dad. I was full of energy as a kid, loved paddling, building sand castles and eating Calippo ice lollies.

FIRST TRIP ABROAD?

LANZAROTE on a family holiday as a child. I went up the side of a volcano by camel.

FAVOURITE WINTER OLYMPIC DESTINATION?

I EXPLORED Seoul after competing in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. A highlight was a cat cafe where you drink tea, surrounded felines. The food markets are amazing. I ate veggie tofu with kimchi.

THE BEST EUROPEAN SKI RESORT?

AUSTRIA’S Tyrol where you can buy one lift ticket and use it in many resorts. Tyrolean food may be a little heavy but it’s great once in a while. Who doesn’t love a Kaiserschmarrn [sweet pancake] at 2,000m?

FAVOURITE U.S. SKI RESORT?

MAMMOTH Mountain in California. The surrounding pine trees are beautiful, and you can combine snowboarding with a dip in the local hot springs. Perfect after a long day on the mountain.

ARE YOU A GOOD FLYER?

YES, and I prefer long to short-haul flights as you can put your feet up and enjoy a podcast and a film.

TOP TRAVEL BEAUTY TIP?

BABY wipes so you can freshen up mid-journey. Also extra underwear.

CAN’T TRAVEL WITHOUT?

MY sports bra and trainers so I can go for a run. I love to stay energised.

DREAM DESTINATION? RIGHT now, it’s Thailand.

AIMEE’S book Fear Less Live More is out now; her podcast Monday Mile is on all audio platforms.
