My love of islands came before my love of travelling. Making tea stained treasure maps after reading Treasure Island, imagining tropical beaches as I listened to Harry Belafonte sing, Island in the Sun.

With Burgo on 6PR we spent the evening going ashore on Rottnest, the Abrolhos, Borneo, Hong Kong and others.

Islands have history and culture, some have pristine beaches and impenetrable jungle and others are full of shops.

Whatever your island, go ashore and have the adventure of a lifetime!
