Since winning the Great British Bake Off in 2015, life has changed immeasurably for Nadiya Hussain. In this episode of The Travel Diaries, Nadiya explains that travel wasn’t even something she contemplated as a young stay at home mum of three, except to visit her family in Bangladesh.
Now, as a TV presenter and author, she is travelling the globe, discovering her favourite destinations, learning more about herself than ever and getting recognised in the most remote situations imaginable.
Destination recap:
- Sylhet, Bangladesh
- Paris, France
- Nepal
- Toronto to Vancouver, Canada (1d 20hrs drive!)

Nadiya’s cook book, Time to Eat, is out now.
