As a travel advisor, when I start telling someone what I do (“I design bespoke travel experiences and curate custom itineraries for your trip”) I often get one of three answers. “We are just going to book it online!” “I like planning my own trips.” “Who uses a travel agent anyway?” Fair points, right? In […]
Happy Friday, travellers! Today we are taking a trip to one of my all time favourite cities: Melbourne, Australia! I simply love this city – fell head over heels back in 2014 when I spent three days here with friends. It’s vibrant, it’s on the water, it’s charming and rugged all at once. Melbourne takes […]
Canberra, Australia is a unique city in the heart of the Australian Capital Territory. It is the only completely landlocked city on the continent (unless you count Alice Springs and I’m not). Canberra is also a planned city; American architects Marion and Walter Griffin won an international competition. Finally, the government picked Canberra as the […]
With all due respect, you cannot go all the way down under and not visit Sydney, Australia. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world (five million tourists a year), this sparkling city is worth every second you spend there.

The Peruvian Amazon, by contrast, is a vast jungle rainforest stretching much of the length of the country, from the northern border with Ecuador to the […]
The second biggest tourist destination in Peru these days is Arequipa. Located at the south of the country, the region is chock full of adventure. This is where to go for canyoning, rafting, kayaking, horseback riding, or mountain biking.
When most people hear Peru, their mind goes immediately to Machu Picchu. This incredible ancient city, the home to the Incan empire, highlights the architectural finesse of the culture and the technological advances of their time period. While Machu Picchu is the most well known of the Incan archaeological sites in the Peruvian Andes, there […]
To kick off this week’s series on Peru, I’m going to share a little bit about Lima, the capital. Lima lies on the coast of central Peru, in the valleys of three rivers. It is the third most populated city in the Americas (after Sao Paulo and Mexico City) with over 10 million inhabitants.
