Australian celebrities reveal their travel plans for 2022

After a year of widespread lockdowns and isolation, the time for travel appears closer as borders slowly start to reopen.

As we head into the new year, we ask our favourite Australian celebrities where they are (hopefully) jetting off to in 2022.

Darren Palmer, The Block judge

"We're hoping to go to Queensland to see my folks and to France to see my in-laws, so we'll see what Omicron has to say about that."

Eddie McGuire, Millionaire Hot Seat presenter

"Fingers crossed — anywhere!"

Lauren Phillips, radio host

"We're going to visit some friends in New York for the holidays. And then I'd like to spend 2022 exploring our great country."

Livinia Nixon, 9News Melbourne presenter

"Hamilton Island, Northern Victoria and Tassie are on my hit list for 2022, but I have learnt not to plan too far ahead…"

Allison Langdon, Today presenter

"I'm not making any plans just yet as I've had my heart broken too many times in 2021 with too many cancelled trips including up to Qld to see family so I refuse to book anything just yet."

Neale Whitaker, The Block judge

"To be honest, we have no plans as yet. If life and COVID allow, it would be lovely to get to the UK to see my family and old friends. David wants to visit Spain, so perhaps we will combine the two."

Sarah Abo, 60 Minutes presenter

"Hopefully somewhere overseas! It's been a while, hasn't it? But I'm also hoping to find some time for a bit of a road trip, even if it's just from Melbourne to Adelaide."

Sami Lukis, 9Honey columnist

"I'm planning to head over to New York in February to do some work and prepare for the return of my 2022 'New York with Sami' summer tours later in the year. Then I'll join some friends for a ski holiday in Colorado and Whistler.

"It will be my first attempt at an overseas trip since COVID hit in early 2020. I am feeling a little nervous about it, but also ridiculously excited."

Shane Crawford, Nine presenter

"America, to take big kids to some basketball."

Shelly Horton, 9Honey presenter

"Darren and I paid in full for a trip to the Maldives at Easter in 2020. So, two years later we are hoping to do that trip as it's still number one on our bucket list. The travel company still has our cash, so if anything goes wrong I'm ready to pull out the old, 'I know Tracy Grimshaw at A Current Affair.'"

Tracy Vo, 9News Perth presenter

"A trip over east is top priority to see a lot of close friends, and then hopefully a trip to Europe!"

Monty Dimond, KIIS FM host

"Somewhere kid-friendly. Somewhere when I step off the plane, the kids' club door opens wide. Maybe Fiji."

Scotty Cam, The Block host

"Regional Australia."
