What started as a simple trip to Phuket evolved into the perfect blend of Thailand — the lively buzz of Phuket, the off‑the‑beaten‑track magic of a Luxury Tented Jungle Camp at Elephant Hills (an ethical elephant sanctuary I recommended as the ideal halfway point between Phuket and Koh Samui thanks to its wonderful tourist program and seamless transfers), and the beachside relaxation of Koh Samui.

My clients loved:
✨ Phuket’s vibrant energy, the sightseeing and food.
✨ Elephant Hills — glamping, jungle kayaking, trekking and the highlight was preparing the Elephants food and learning about their dietary needs.
✨ Koh Samui’s calm, beachfront downtime and exploring the local area.

The service was second to none and my clients loved the friendliness of the Thai people who went out of their way to ensure they were looked after. Meals were a treat and all of the accommodation was spot on.

As all Aussies seem to do in Thailand - the last picture is proof that yes electricity is wired a little differently to ours. If you know you know 👌

If you have been thinking about Phuket, Koh Samui or Thailand and would like to talk about adding on a 1,2 or 3 night Jungle Adventure, please contact me to talk further.

At the start of the year, I worked with two families to build a tailored South Island adventure. There's so much to see and do in New Zealand, and it's always a balance between the buffet of choice and the pace children (and adults) can handle.

My itineraries sometimes feature a 1-night stop, but that's usually for a tick-list item worked into a longer road trip between destinations. As a rule, I aim for at least 2 nights in each place, so everyone gets a proper rest between drive days — especially in winter, when the roads can be winding, wet, and icy.

When skiing is part of the trip, it always goes at the end. That way, if a ski mishap happens, it doesn't derail the rest of the holiday.

My clients have finished their road trip and are now enjoying the slopes and ambience in Queenstown. They even got to experience an earthquake — everyone's fine, thankfully! 🏔️

If New Zealand is on your list, get in touch and let's build an itinerary that fits your family perfectly. ✨

After months of preparation between me and Bernadette Andrews - TravelManagers, we held a travel expo at a local retirement resort. Bernadette was there in spirit as she came down with a nasty virus. Gail Hughes - TravelManagers came to our rescue and was an absolute angel. My son was on video/photography duty and did a great job capturing the feel of the day. A huge thank you to the suppliers that supported us. We are so grateful.

Exclusive discounts for small group travel!

Sometimes the best way to travel is with someone else doing all the work. From booking the trip, to flights and then a group tour where everything is done for you and all you have to think about it is what to pack. These tours pack in some wonderful immersive moments with community engagement, led by experienced tour directors that leave you with time to slow down and enjoy the moments rather than working out where you need to be and what comes next.

Every client I have had on an escorted trip has raved about their experiences. Let me help you weigh up the options. Reach out if you'd like some help tailoring a trip with an escorted tour that suits you.

🌏 Travel ethically and let someone else handle the details!

One of the best ways to explore a new destination? A tour where everything is taken care of for you. Right now, some of my wonderful clients are experiencing the magic of Vietnam with G Adventures on a Classic Vietnam 10-day North to South journey — and what a trip it is! 🛤️

Their itinerary has it all:
🚢 An overnight cruise on the stunning Halong Bay
🚞 An overnight train ride in their own private cabin
✈️ Internal flights + loads of authentic local travel
👥 A small group of no more than 16 people — because great travel is personal

But what really sets G Adventures apart is their heart. Through G for Good, every trip creates real, lasting change — supporting community tourism, protecting the environment, and making ethical travel the norm, not the exception.

G Adventures also proudly partners with Planeterra to strengthen that community impact even further.

Our clients got to experience this firsthand with the Oodles of Noodles cooking class in Hanoi — sampling and cooking from more than 26 types of noodles! 🍜 This class is run exclusively for G Adventures by STREETS International, a program that trains former street youth in hospitality skills, helping them build English language ability and real career pathways in tourism. Delicious food and a genuine difference made. That's the G Adventures way.

And the G Adventures range means there's something for everyone:

✅ Classic | Active | G-Luxe | 18–30s | Families | National Geographic
✅ And their brand-new Solo-ish product:
Solo travel reimagined, with community at its core. Connect with like-minded travellers from day one on trips designed just for you, as a solo explorer.

When you travel with G Adventures, you're not just seeing the world — you're helping it. 🌿
