WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK?

Aside from his own, of course, Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss holds a special place in Whitfield's heart. 

This timeless tale beautifully encapsulates life's rollercoaster ride, with its highs and lows.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE HOLIDAY DESTINATION?

Experienced in travel and exploring different parts of the world, Whitfield stresses the importance of avoiding the same old vacation spots.

"There's no perfect place for a holiday, they're all different experiences."

"Holidays should be moments to blow your brain open and to learn something new."
