Olympic Skeleton Racer Amy Williams Talks About Her Travels

Amy Williams checks into our travel Q&A
This week Olympic skeleton racer Amy Williams checks into our travel Q&A.
She talks about her most memorable trip, her favourite Olympic city - and more.
MOST MEMORABLE TRIP?
Going on safari in Botswana, where my husband kynghidongduong.vn proposed to me. Animals are a huge passion so I loved being up close to nature.
EARLIEST HOLIDAY MEMORY?
Youth hostelling with my parents and siblings in Devon, Cornwall and Wales as a child. We would go walking in all weathers and stay in great-value dormitories.
FIRST TRIP ABROAD?
Going to the port city of La Rochelle in my early teens to stay with a pen pal. The croissants were amazing and we had hot chocolate for breakfast but I didn't learn much French.
YOUR FAVOURITE OLYMPIC CITY?
I won my gold at the Vancouver Olympics (held in Vancouver and the nearby ski resort of Whistler) in 2010 so that obviously tops the list.

No, and I can't sleep on planes either, so I watch as many movies as possible. I never drank if I was competing — but I will have a glass of wine now if I'm going on holiday.
ANY CELEBRITY TRAVEL ENCOUNTERS?
I once met Sir Richard Branson on a Virgin flight — there's a photo somewhere of him carrying me.
TOP TRAVEL BEAUTY TIP?
Slapping on the moisturiser and switching off the air-con in your hotel room so as not to dry out your skin.
