My first taste of adventure came at 21, when I jetted off to the USA on my very first solo trip. I started with a two-week Contiki tour along the West Coast, where I made lifelong friends, before continuing on to New York and exploring the East Coast on my own.
After returning home, I secured a working visa for the UK, where I lived for almost three years. During that time, I travelled extensively throughout Europe, and my passion for discovering new places, cultures, and experiences truly came to life. Shortly after returning to Australia, I met my husband, who was in Australia on a student visa from the Netherlands, and it quickly became clear that we shared the same love of travel and adventure.
Over the past 16 years, we’ve created countless memories exploring destinations around the world together. These days, our adventures include our two children, and one of the greatest joys of travelling as a family is being able to show them the world beyond their own backyard. We love exposing them to different cultures, traditions, and ways of life while teaching them to appreciate the diversity and beauty our world has to offer.

There are far too many incredible destinations to mention them all, but these are some of my personal favourites — places I truly believe everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
Japan:
Is a destination that truly has something for everyone. From world-class skiing and snowboarding in winter to beautiful beaches, scuba diving, mountain hikes, and vibrant festivals throughout the year, every visit offers a completely different experience. Add in incredible food, ancient temples, efficient transport, and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and it’s easy to see why Japan captures so many hearts.
Whether you’re indulging in luxury shopping and fine dining, exploring hidden local gems, or making magical family memories at Tokyo Disney Resort and Universal Studios Japan, Japan is a country you’ll want to return to again and again — both with and without the kids.
Italy:
Italy is one of those destinations that captures your heart from the moment you arrive. Rich in history, culture, breathtaking scenery, and incredible cuisine, it’s the perfect destination for both solo travellers and families looking to create unforgettable memories together.
From exploring ancient landmarks and charming cobblestone streets to relaxing along stunning coastlines and picturesque lakes, Italy offers something for every style of travel. Whether you’re tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain, cruising through the canals of Venice, admiring the rolling countryside of Tuscany, or indulging in authentic pasta, pizza, and gelato, every moment feels special.
Italy is a country best enjoyed slowly — soaking up the atmosphere in lively piazzas, discovering hidden villages, and embracing the warmth and passion of Italian culture. It’s a destination you’ll want to return to again and again.
Africa:
Is a destination that stays with you forever. From breathtaking sunrises and fiery sunsets to unforgettable wildlife encounters, every moment feels magical. Whether you’re enjoying luxury lodges, incredible food, and world-class wines in South Africa, or witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration across the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa offers experiences unlike anywhere else on earth.
Home to some of the world’s most remarkable natural wonders — including the largest desert, the longest river, and the highest freestanding mountain — Africa is full of adventure, beauty, and soul. But it’s the chance to see wildlife roaming freely in their natural habitat that truly makes it unforgettable.
China:
China is a destination I absolutely love returning to. It offers the perfect mix of ancient culture, futuristic cities, incredible food, and unforgettable experiences, making it an amazing choice for both solo travellers and families alike. From historic temples and traditional villages to buzzing streets filled with modern energy, China is a country that constantly surprises and inspires.
One of the highlights for me is the breathtaking skyline of Shanghai — especially at night when the city lights up in spectacular fashion. Whether you’re walking along the iconic Great Wall of China, experiencing high-speed trains, visiting panda sanctuaries, shopping in world-class cities, or discovering the country’s rich history and traditions, China offers an incredible variety of experiences that keep you wanting to come back for more.
Hawaii:
This place truly feels like heaven on earth. With its laid-back island vibe, rich culture, sparkling beaches, lush landscapes, active volcanoes, and incredible marine life, it’s a destination that instantly captures your heart. Add in world-famous surf breaks, fresh tropical flavours, and fantastic shopping, and it’s easy to see why so many people fall in love with Hawaii.
What makes Hawaii even more special is that each island has its own unique beauty, personality, and charm — from adventure-filled days to total relaxation, there’s something for everyone in this tropical paradise.
New York:
This city truly lives up to its reputation as the city that never sleeps. From the bright lights and electric energy of Times Square to the peaceful escapes of Central Park, every corner of the city feels iconic. Think yellow taxis, towering skyscrapers, giant pizza slices, world-class museums, and the unforgettable atmosphere of a New York Yankees or New York Knicks game.
Whether you’re exploring Ellis Island, shopping along Fifth Avenue, or simply soaking up the city’s nonstop energy, New York is a destination that never loses its magic. No matter how many times you visit, there’s always something new to discover.
Dubai:
Dubai is a destination I never get tired of visiting. Whether it’s a quick stopover or a week-long escape, this desert metropolis delivers luxury, adventure, and nonstop energy at every turn. Famous for its striking architecture, dazzling skyline, and enormous tax-free shopping malls, Dubai has become one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations.
From relaxing at glamorous beach clubs to exploring desert dunes on thrilling off-road adventures, there’s something for every type of traveller. Home to the towering Burj Khalifa — the tallest man-made structure in the world — plus incredible resorts, waterparks, and world-class dining, Dubai perfectly blends modern luxury with unforgettable experiences in the heart of the desert.
