McGinlay seeks out coups, civil unrest and even war zones as the sites for his next holidays.

He says: "My idea was that by going to dangerous countries I kind of got my head above the parapet and it gave me more to talk about and I had more of a story to tell."

Andy got his taste for risk when he was travelling the world aged 18 and ended up in Fiji at the time of a military coup.

Yemen, Bangkok and Kabul in Afghanistan are just a number of the destinations Andy has visited.

The 34-year-old currently lives and teaches in Saudi Arabia which can also be a volatile region.

Speaking of his unusual travel choices and current home he says: "You've got to be on your toes!"
