    Comedian Sue Perkins

    Sue Perkins is an unlikely intrepid traveller. She’s terrified of flying, suffers from seasickness and her childhood holidays were limited to day jaunts from Croydon to Brighton. But a decade ago, she decided to embrace the challenge and face her fears head on. Since then she has fronted travel documentaries taking her to all different corners of the world including America, South America, India and South East Asia. 
    What inspired her to challenge herself through travel? What tips would she give others looking to step out their comfort zone? And, how did she overcome the biggest blocker of all: her fear of flying?
