Matt: So many, however my favourite place to date, is my honeymoon destination, where we stayed at a little place called Le Sirenuse Hotel in Positano.
Sandra: Oh, that’s my favourite too. Do you have a favourite quote?
Matt: I probably do, but I actually have a tattoo, which is really weird, and I got it when I was 17 years old, and I can’t … no one can see it, and it says, “Hope is a waking dream.” Which means to me, that if you dream it, you want it, you can hopefully have it.
Sandra: Love it. That’s cool, that’s a good quote.
Matt: If you had to come back as an animal, what would it be?
Sandra: That’s a really good question. Probably a really looked after, maybe like a Kardashian’s dog or something like that. Maybe.
Matt: We’re not allowed to laugh. Do you meditate? You already answered that question.
Sandra I tried. I truly tried, last time I tried, I did it in an office in the car park. I’ve got this meditation app and I was trying, and when I woke up from my meditation, I had about six people Snapchatting me in my car, trying to meditate. So, I haven’t done it again since then.
Speaker 2: Love it.
