I love travel and experiencing different places, people, food and cultures.

Which 3 places anywhere in the world would you like to visit before you kick the bucket?

Don't put too many pics, or Jono will tell us off over the bandwidth thingumyjig.

Nati's No 1: Machupichu

Russia - Trans-Siberian railway journey. You start in Moscow and finish in Vladivostok, some 6,000 miles away on Russia's Pacific coast

Canada - Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver look fabulous. May one day live somewhere in Newfoundland for a few years.

Brazil - Seriously want to experience the Amazon rainforest, whilst some of it remains. Would love to see some of the exotic plants grown in indoor environments here growing in their wild habitat there, like passiflora for example.

I'm so greedy, not sure 3 is enough. Am I allowed to change the rules slightly?

Seeing as I'm already in Peru, I could just double back through Brasil (rainforest and statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro) - that's No. 1.

Then No. 2 would be a sort of lengthy trip around Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. They are close to one another, I promise.

Still thinking about how I'm gonna cheat on No. 3. ;)

I want to go to London - and I will, I hope to go there as an au-pair after I finish school.

I would also like to go to Australia and New Zealand, because the culture as well as the nature seems to be quite interesting.

Id really love to experience different parts of Africa.

I used to have this plan that id leave school and go to university, and during one of my summers, i spend 4 months in Africa, travelling all over the place. Id love to volunteer over there as a sports coach for young kids.

I hope one day i'll have the guts, and the money, to do it.

I'd like to go to Svarlbard, amazing scenery and so remote and cold. There's a double page photo of it on my floor from the newspaper the other day.

I'd like to go to New Zealand again, the Bay of Islands is so pretty, I remember being 7 years old and paddling out there in a canoe with my mum's friend and his daughter, going to this deserted island just before sunset and collecting Paua shells. The beach was covered with them, they look like this, very pretty. Rotorua is pretty cool too, hot springs, geysers and brightly coloured (but poisonous) lakes and beaches covered in pummice stones. Even though I was only 7, I remember it all really clearly and I'd love to go back, I probably will do when I've finished uni.

I'd like to visit the west coast of Canada. I've probably been reading too many Douglas Coupland books, he's from Vancouver. It sounds really cool, unfortunately though with North America and Australasia, the cities are dispersed and they rely on cars for transport, something I couldn't live with. However, I hope to do something about that for a career. A geography degree is a good excuse to travel!

I've been lucky enough to go to New York and it was great!

My advice, spend 3 days there. Go to the Statue of Liberty and go up The Empire State Building at night. Then you can take photos like this one:

My other 2 choices would be The Pyramids in Egypt and Rio de Janeiro!

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
