I travel a lot. I spend close to 300 days a year on the road.

I've been on the road I think probably three years.

So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.

Before I lived in America, my husband and I did a Californian road trip. We took a month, starting off in L.A. I love the landscapes of California: one moment you're in the desert, the next you're up in the Napa Valley or by the water in Big Bear.

It took five days to drive to Los Angeles by myself. I listened to Abbey Road for six hours at a time and watched the desert open up before me again and again. I saw the sun set and rise at the Grand Canyon, and I sang out over the cliffs, picked up tumble weeds along the way and threw them in the back of my car.

I have a 100-mile round trip commute on some of the nations' busiest roads and enjoy every minute of it.

Any East Coast road trip we have is very exciting, just being on the road, taking it all in.

I've had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that's all behind me now.

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did.
