What interests you about travel?
The diversity of destinations, near and far, domestic and international and the unique experience each holiday provides. You can holiday to the same destination more than once, yet you will have a different experience each time. There is always something new to learn and experience, and that is what I love about travel. It allows us to expand our knowledge of destinations, travel styles, and inclusions, and we learn every day.
What is your favourite destination?
Hawai’i, specifically the Island of Hawai’i. We travelled there for our honeymoon, and both fell in love with it. It is so diverse and different. The big island has lava fields, plantations, rainforests and beaches, to name a few experiences. It was truly unique to experience all this in one location. It is such a world away, yet homey and warm.
I have travelled to….
England, Wales, Scotland, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy (including Vatican City), Liechtenstein, Monaco, Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium, Thailand, and Hawaii. I also took a South Pacific cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. I’ve travelled domestically in Australia through all states except Western Australia (this is on the list).
Favourite travel tip?
Roll your clothes when packing; it packs smaller and prevents the creasing and wrinkling of softer materials.
Also, embrace the unexpected. The best-laid plans in life sometimes go according to plan, and the same goes for travelling.
What’s your dream destination?
Disney – Hawaii, LA, Florida and a cruise package. I am a big kid (Disney Princess) at heart.
