I have no idea whether there’s a correlation between those who love science fiction and those who love to travel. It seems to me – as a lover of both – that there ought to be! For me, both are rooted in a curiosity about the unknown and a delight in exploring every corner of our world, and outwards into our universe. If I can’t yet do both in person, I can at least do so in my imagination!
I am not such an intrepid explorer as some. I have neither the stamina, the fortitude nor the mindset to map the unmapped, to accept the discomfort and uncertainty of that kind of endeavour. I am greatly impressed by those who do.

It is at our doorstep and you don’t need to learn a new language. What more could you ask for a week’s break?
I love science fiction too, maybe both it and travel are about exploring the unknown and that’s what drives us?
I love this! My fav quote yet. I’m a big Doctor Who fan, scifi geek and really want to visit Iceland! When you see these surreal environments it makes me think back to how life first started perhaps.
I was at Uni with the son of the original Doctor Who Director. (Daleks and Cybermen). Apparently much of the early episodes were filmed on Mull, which is the ‘Maclean’ island – it doesn’t look dissimilar
