✨️🎓 OFFICIALLY A TIME GRADUATE 🎓 ✨️

They say the best investment you can make is in yourself, this year I decided to do exactly that!

TIME is an incredible mentor program designed to develop the next generation of leaders within the travel industry, connecting passionate professionals with experienced industry mentors to help them grow both personally and professionally.

When I started Roast & Roam i had big dreams, plenty of determination and a whole lot of passion. But being a business owner means constantly learning, challenging yourself and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

I chose to invest my time in TIME because I didn't just want to build a successful travel business. I wanted to become a better leader, a more confident businesswoman and the best version of myself.

Special thank you to Kelley my incredible mentor, itravel for sponsoring me and investing in my professional development and my cheer squad that came along on Wednesday night to watch me graduate.

I am so incredibly proud that I have graduated from this program and took the time to invest in myself and my business and that people believed in me enough to support my dreams.

✈️ A little update on how you can pay with Roast & Roam
From 1 October, I’m making a small change to the way payments work at Roast & Roam.

While credit card payments will absolutely still be available, card transactions come with processing fees and those fees can quickly add up for a small business.

So, where possible, I’d love to encourage my clients to consider one of our fee-free alternative payment methods:
🏦 Direct Deposit
📱 PayID
💳 BPAY

Choosing one of these options instead of paying by credit card might seem like a small thing, but for a small business like mine, those little choices genuinely make a difference. 🤍

There is no obligation, if a credit card is the right payment method for you, you can absolutely continue to use it.

This is simply about making you aware that there are other easy ways to pay that help reduce the banking and processing costs behind the scenes.

Every booking you make with Roast & Roam supports a small, local travel business, and I’m incredibly grateful every time you choose me to help create your holidays. 🌴✈️

Thank you for supporting Roast & Roam, not just with where you travel, but with how you choose to book and pay. 🤎

🇺🇸✨ A little pinch me moment… I’m officially a Brand USA Global Ambassador for 2026! ✨🇺🇸

I am beyond excited, incredibly grateful and genuinely honoured to have been selected for this opportunity and to represent Brand USA this year.

For me, this is about so much more than a title. It’s an opportunity to learn, to connect with some incredible people within the travel industry, to experience new destinations and, most importantly, to bring all of that knowledge and inspiration back to my clients. ✈️❤️

When we think about travelling to the USA, it’s so easy to immediately think of LA, New York, San Francisco and Vegas and while I absolutely love the icons, the USA is SO much more than the places we already know.

There are 50 states filled with incredible road trips, small towns, national parks, food, music, history, culture and experiences that you may never have even thought about travelling for.

And THAT is what I’m most excited to share. 🇺🇸

I want to inspire people to look beyond the usual itinerary, discover somewhere unexpected and see a completely different side of the USA.

I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this journey and I cannot wait for the opportunities, experiences, friendships and connections that this year will bring.

Here’s to stepping outside the usual tourist trail, learning a whole lot more about this incredible country and hopefully adding a few unexpected places to your bucket list along the way. 🥂🇺🇸

Brand USA Global Ambassador 2026, let the adventure begin! ✈️✨

🍔 The question every Queenstown visitor gets asked... Have you lined up for a Fergburger? 👀

What started as a small local burger joint has become one of Queenstown's most famous food institutions, with people regularly queuing down the street just to get their hands on one.

So, I want to know...

⏰ What was your wait time?
🍔 What did you order?
⭐ Was it worth the hype?

I'll go first – the queue looked intimidating, but it moved surprisingly fast! And honestly, there’s something about finally getting that burger after standing in line that makes it taste even better.

Drop your verdict below:
Team Fergburger or overrated?

Barcelona if you want long dinners that start at 10pm, rooftop bars, and mornings wandering Gothic Quarter streets with a cortado in hand.

Seville if you want flamenco at night, tapas for lunch that turn into tapas until 5pm, and the kind of heat that forces you to slow down, whether you planned to or not.

Mallorca if you want a villa with a view, a coastline that doesn't quit, and days where the most ambitious thing you do is decide between the beach and the pool.

Send this to whoever you're taking with you and start the debate.

Can ChatGPT whip up an itinerary for you? Absolutely. But then its up to you to vet it, book it all and juggle the details all the way through your trip. That works totally fine for some people, but if you're just too busy to spend weeks researching, vetting and booking things, and would prefer to have personalised recommendations that are perfect for you, that's where I can help.

Just a little proof that stress free travel actually exists 👀

There’s honestly nothing better than hearing your clients come home from a trip saying, “Everything went so smoothly.” 🤍

From honeymoons and family holidays to bucket-list adventures and last-minute escapes, I put so much care into every itinerary I create because travel should feel exciting… not overwhelming.

These messages mean the world to me and remind me why I love what I do ✈️

If you’ve been dreaming about a trip in 2026 but don’t know where to start, let’s chat. I’d love to help bring it to life 🌍
