About Mexico and Cuba (2009):"Cancun was the weirdest place ever. In Cancun, I felt like I had walked into an American teen movie. I was only there for two days-thankfully my friends and I were more interested in travelling around other parts of the country. But I seriously thought it was only like that in movies. Cancun was certainly not my favourite. We went to Ixtapa, where the ruins are. It was a beautiful, chilled-out part of the country. We went to Mexico City, which was amazing, but quite dangerous. We were happy to get out of there in the end. And we went to Cuba-I would tell everyone to go to Cuba now, because in 10 years it will be completely different."
