It's Hamish Blake

In this episode of Snacks and Suitcases, host Sally Stanton sits down with one of Australia’s biggest stars, Hamish Blake.

Known for his humour, warmth and adventurous spirit, Hamish opens up about his secret travel-agent skills, his love for cycling holidays with his kids and why he believes every family trip should leave room for a few happy mishaps.

From impromptu terrifying cliff climbs in Europe to sharing the spirit of dance with school kids in Uganda, Hamish shares what he loves about travelling with his family in the big wide world. PLUS Hamish answers a few fun travel (and Lego) questions straight from kids. This feel-good chat will inspire you to embrace adventure, laugh through the chaos, and maybe even start a few travel traditions of your own.
