What else does a travel advisor do? A few months ago, I wrote about my job. I’m a travel advisor. A curator. Bucket list ticker offer. Whatever you want to call it. Essentially, I do all aspects of a trip, from the minute your head leave the pillow in the morning before you leave to […]
It is without a doubt that I say that 2017 has been one of the most whirlwind and wild years of the past ten. I finalised my trip around the world, signed on with a new company and became the proud owner of my new travel consulting business, and capped it all off with an […]

The best way to split up the Western Australia regions is exactly how the Tourism Western Australia does it, so forgive me but I am totally taking a page from their book! I wanted to start with Margaret River and the southwest region as its the nearest to Perth, Australia. This doesn’t necessarily make it […]
I was told recently that when I hear a particular place mentioned over and over, to pay attention. To learn as much as possible about it so that when someone comes to me and wants to go, I already have a leg up. In the last year, I’ll admit I’ve heard about Western Australia on […]
Of the five major Hawaiian islands, Lanai and Kauai are the smallest. This affords them a slight bit of exclusivity as well as prestige.
