Another beautiful day experiencing the traditions of Taiwan.

We started at a tea plantation where we got completely hands-on — rolling and fermenting our own tea leaves, tasting different varieties of tea and enjoying some delicious local treats along the way.

There was even a little friendly competition, with Steph U crowned our Tea Master of the Day for making the best tea!

Next stop was a traditional paper factory, where we watched and learnt how paper is made using traditional techniques. Then it was our turn to get creative — inking designs onto the paper and making our own beautiful fans to take home.

I absolutely love days like this when travelling. Getting hands-on, learning about local traditions and having plenty of laughs along the way.

No, that’s not an ice cream truck… 🍦😂

One of the things I’ve found so fascinating in Taiwan is the garbage collection!

The garbage trucks drive through the streets playing music, and when you hear them coming, everyone heads outside with their rubbish and throws it straight into the back of the truck. 🚛

No wheelie bins sitting out on the street waiting to be collected — you actually have to be there when the truck arrives!

It’s these little everyday differences that I absolutely love discovering when I travel.

Would you have guessed it was a garbage truck?

Such a beautiful day exploring Taiwan 🇹🇼

Today’s adventures brought us to the incredible Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum — such an impressive and peaceful place to visit. I love that travelling gives you the chance to experience places, cultures and moments that are so different from home.

And even better when you get to share them with great company! Another wonderful day on our Taiwan adventure.

🇹🇼 Taiwan Tour – Day 1

After meeting up with the Flamin Dragons in Hualien following the Club Crew World Championships, some of the ladies are joining me to explore more of Taiwan! 🐉

Our first day took us along the spectacular east coast, stopping at beautiful geological parks, exploring the coastline and visiting the Tropic of Cancer marker.

We finished the day with an overnight stay and a relaxing soak in the Hoya Hot Springs ♨️

Such a great start to our Taiwan adventure!

When your clients send you THIS view from their apartment in Paris 🇫🇷✨

There’s something pretty special about looking out your window and seeing the Eiffel Tower!

I knew this apartment had a great view when I booked it for them, but I think this might be even better than expected.

These are the little details I love about planning travel — finding places that make the trip that extra bit special.

I can’t quite believe I’m saying this… we only have ONE twin-share room left for Africa!

When I put together my Africa Splendours hosted trip for September 2027, I really wanted it to be a small, personal group — just 12 of us sharing what I know will be an incredible experience.

And now we’re almost full!

After travelling to Africa myself, I completely understand why it gets under your skin. There is honestly nothing quite like that first game drive, seeing elephants out in the wild, the incredible landscapes, beautiful lodges and those pinch-me moments that you just can't explain until you've experienced them.

Our journey will take us through Kenya, including Amboseli and Tsavo East, before finishing with Victoria Falls and Chobe — and I’ll be there travelling alongside the group from beginning to end.

We now have just ONE twin-share room remaining, so I’m looking for the final two people to join us.

Maybe it’s two friends, sisters, partners… or perhaps you’ve been talking about going to Africa with someone for years and just haven’t quite made it happen.

4–19 September 2027
Only 12 guests
ONE twin-share room left

If you’ve been watching this trip from the sidelines thinking “one day…”, maybe this is your one day.

Send me a message and I’ll happily talk you through the trip and send you the full itinerary.

I’m so incredibly proud to be sponsoring the wonderful ladies from the Flamin’ Dragons as they head off to Taiwan to compete at the Club Crew World Championships next week!

It has been such a pleasure organising all of their travel and helping get everyone to Taiwan for this amazing experience. There’s been a LOT of planning behind the scenes, and now it’s finally time for them to go and do what they do best!

I’ll also be heading over to Taiwan to cheer them on and, once the championships are finished, I’ll be joining some of the crew for a trip around Taiwan — I can’t wait!

Wishing the entire Flamin’ Dragons team the very best of luck at the World Championships. What an incredible achievement just to be there representing your club and Australia. 🇦🇺

Go Flamin’ Dragons!!

What a week in Hobart!

The TravelManagers Annual Conference has come to an end, finishing in style with our fabulous Gala Awards Night. It’s been an incredible few days of learning, connecting, laughing, catching up with industry friends and coming home with plenty of fresh ideas and inspiration.

I was also incredibly proud to be nominated for TWO awards this year:

✨ Excellence in Marketing Award – recognising Personal Travel Managers who continue to learn, adapt, find new opportunities, connect with their community and showcase the value of having a personal travel manager.

✨ Above & Beyond Award – recognising Personal Travel Managers who go that extra mile for their clients, particularly when things don’t go to plan, through exceptional service, kindness and dedication.

I didn’t take home either award this time, but being recognised as a finalist in both categories amongst so many amazing PTMs is something I’m extremely proud of.

For me, these two nominations mean so much because they reflect two parts of my business that I genuinely love – sharing my passion for travel and looking after my clients every step of the way.

A huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists! 🥂

Thank you TravelManagers for another fantastic conference. I’m heading home feeling inspired, grateful and ready for another exciting year of creating incredible holidays and adventures for my clients.

Day 1 at the TravelManagers Annual Conference in beautiful Hobart! ✈️💙

What a fantastic start to the week — so great to be surrounded by fellow Personal Travel Managers, industry partners and plenty of familiar faces.

A real highlight today was listening to the incredible Lisa O’Neill. Such an engaging, inspiring and entertaining speaker, with so many great takeaways! 🙌✨

Looking forward to everything still to come over the next few days — learning, connecting, sharing ideas and, of course, having a little fun along the way! 🥂
