Where I’ve Been
I’ve been fortunate to tick off some of the world’s most extraordinary travel experiences. Each one has shaped the way I provide travel advice today. From waking up to a new horizon on an ocean cruise in Alaska, to gliding through Europe’s rivers, exploring iconic sites on an escorted tour in Japan, escaping to dreamy tropical islands, witnessing the magic of an African safari, or sharing the best of my homeland, Australia. These are the travel moments that change you forever.
Here, I’ve gathered the experiences I know best. These are the ones I’ve personally lived and loved, and every recommendation I give is shaped by my own travels. You can be certain ALL advice provided here is grounded in first-hand experience.
Australia
Australia isn’t just my home, it’s part of who I am. I’ve explored the country from top to bottom over several decades, first as a child on family holidays, then as a parent travelling with my own children, and now alongside my husband.
I’ve spent months at a time discovering its diverse regions. I’ve walked through ancient landscapes in the Red Centre, explored the Great Barrier Reef, sampled world-class wines, and driven scenic coastal routes where you can see wild kangaroos. I know the country far beyond the usual tourist trail and know how help others to experience Australia in a way that’s authentic and unforgettable.
Tropical Resorts
There’s nothing quite like escaping to a tropical paradise, where turquoise waters, swaying palms, and warm island hospitality instantly slow life down. I’ve personally visited some of the world’s most breathtaking islands. From the postcard-perfect lagoons of Tahiti, the Cook Islands, to the barefoot luxury of the Maldives and the easy going warmth of Fiji.
Each island has its own unique charm: overwater bungalows perched above crystal-clear lagoons, private villas tucked away on white-sand beaches, or resorts where you can be as active, or blissfully relaxed as you like. I know the resorts and experiences that deliver, whether it’s a romantic escape, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, or simply a chance to tick paradise off your bucket list.
Europe
Europe is where centuries of history meet world-class art, architecture, and cuisine. From cruising the Danube through storybook towns, to wandering the cobbled lanes of Italy, or soaking up the romance of Paris, the continent offers an endless collection of bucket list moments.
What makes my Europe travel insights different is that I go beyond the guidebooks. I share what it’s really like to sip wine in a Tuscan vineyard, explore castles along the Rhine, or glide through the fjords of Norway on a small-ship cruise. With the benefit of my own journeys across the continent, I can help you uncover experiences that are luxurious, culturally rich, and perfectly paced for travellers who want more than just a whirlwind tour.
Asia
Asia is a continent that awakens the senses. From Japan’s timeless traditions and tranquil gardens, to Vietnam’s bustling markets and emerald bays, every country I’ve explored here has left a lasting impression. Singapore blends modern luxury with cultural charm, while Thailand and Bali offer golden beaches and spiritual temples. Cambodia’s ancient wonders, like Angkor Wat, remind us why travel is about discovery as much as relaxation.
The Internet is full of blogs and videos about Asia, most geared towards backpacker or budget travel. I take a different approach. I help discerning travellers enjoy Asia in style, combining comfort, luxury, and authentic cultural experiences. Whether it’s a five-star stay in Singapore, a river cruise along the Mekong, or a multi-day escorted tour of Japan or Vietnam.
Africa
Few travel experiences compare to the thrill of an African safari. Waking to the sounds of the savannah, setting out at dawn in search of elephants, lions, or a leopard in the trees. It’s raw, breathtaking, and utterly unforgettable. Having experienced safaris myself, I know just how magical it feels to see wildlife in its natural habitat and to share those once-in-a-lifetime moments with expert guides who bring the landscape to life.
A safari is more than just spotting the “Big Five.” It’s sundowners overlooking the plains, luxury lodges under endless starry skies, and the joy of discovering places that make you feel completely connected to the world around you. From South Africa’s iconic game reserves to Botswana’s waterways and Kenya’s sweeping plains, I can help match you with the safari experience that will leave you forever changed.
North America
When it comes to bucket list adventures, North America offers it all: the sweeping national parks of the USA, the majestic Canadian Rockies, and the vibrant history and coastlines of Mexico. But with so much to choose from, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin.
That’s where the content I create for this site designed to help. I cut through the clutter of generic travel guides to give you first-hand insights that matter to mature travellers. From the best way to experience Alaska by small-ship cruise, to the most comfortable rail journey through the Rockies, or which part of Mexico’s Yucatán combines culture with relaxation. My professional expertise (and personal travel stories to match), will help you to plan your North American holiday with confidence, knowing it will be every bit as memorable as you’ve dreamed.
