My earliest travel memories
I travelled back and forth from London to LA and New York quite a lot as a child. In fact, although I was born in London my parents moved us all to LA when I was a baby. I have vivid memories of Malibu when it was just shacks along the beach with wild horses running along the sand. I also have very clear memories of driving around in my auntie’s VW camper van all over Cornwall. I still remember the itchy wool blankets we had to sleep in as we would camp at my uncle’s infamous ‘elephant fair’ in the 1980s.

My earliest travel companions
I have five siblings so along with our parents and my dad's business partner Denny Cordell and his family, we were quite a big gang. Cordell and my dad owned a roller disco together in the 1980s in LA called Flippers, so both families grew up together in an extended, bohemian kind of a way.

More recently, my travels have taken me to...
London, Paris, Milan, New York, and Mexico, though I live in LA. I also visited Cabo in Mexico with my husband and stayed at the One & Only, Palmilla.

My next destination
I will be flying to London in the next few weeks. My favourite secret holiday destination Paradise Cove in Malibu where I have a beach cottage. It's my favourite place in the world.

My favourite city for food and shopping is…
New York or London – I love them both. I can’t travel without… My iPod, a big cashmere scarf, a good book, plenty of water and a great moisturising cream.

My favourite travel companion is…
My husband Rupert, but I also really enjoy travelling alone. I have two small children so on long-haul flights, when I get the chance, I love kicking back and indulging in as many movies as possible, and enjoying long naps.

Right now, I am…
Getting ready for Christmas! I will then be coming to London early next year with my family while my husband makes a movie.
