Bartering for bargains in Bali many times over to Elephant trekking & cave kayaking in Thailand.

Marvelling at the Aurora Borealis just under the Arctic Circle, learning about the Inuit way of life, helicoptering my way through frozen canyons & relaxing in thermal pools surrounded in snow in -37 in Canadian Yukon Territory, immersing ourselves in the warm waters of the Onsen's in Japan to being serenaded by 3 amigos in Los Cabos, Mexico. Sipping champagne on the deck in the beautiful villages of France while overlooking famous V***e Clicquot's vineyards to dining on the freshest of Sun Dried Octopus in the Greek Islands. Enjoying the traditional Arabian Coffee experience in the UAE, camel riding at sunset in the deserts of Abu Dhabi and swimming in The Persian Gulf to dining on the sensational chilli crab in Singapore and truffle in Rome. From Sea Kayaking in Hawaii and the islands of Rhodes in Greece to dog sledding in Canada & whale watching in New Zealand. I have been dropped in by helicopter onto a glacier and iced trekked the same glacier in Alaska. From being awestruck driving through the stunning landscape of the Canadian Wilderness, enjoying a glass of bubbles on the shores of Lake Louise, eating Beaver Tails in Banff, sailing the Greek Islands with our very own butler as we enjoyed breakfast on our private balcony each morning overlooking a different Greek Island to zip lining my way through Kauai in the Hawaiian islands. From seal, whale &penguin education from Zodiacs on Expedition in Antarctica to climbing the old walls of Dubrovnik in Croatia & taking in the gorgeous scenery, riding a gondola in Venice, eating traditional burek in Slovenia, wandering the Cotswolds of England, learning Tango in Argentina to visiting the beautiful region of Patagonia in Chili. Flying sea planes in Vancouver, cycling through every city possible, helicopters over the Grand Canyon, white water rafting in Bali to snorkeling the El Arco in Mexico. From making our way from Vancouver to Whistler to Calgary driving in our own time and stopping to immerse ourselves and take in the glorious and breathtaking Canadian Rockies while enjoying close encounters with elk, moose and deer to Disneyland, Disneyworld and everything in between at both Christmas and Halloween. From exploring the ancient ruins & archeological site of Ephesus in Turkey to tasting the incredible wines of Crete, private Onsen's high in Japanese mountains, sipping Prosecco in Positano, River cruising on the Danube, to riding some of the world's most iconic train trips from the Glacier Express in Switzerland to the luxurious 3 night journey on the Blue Train in South Africa. From Broadway shows in New York City to The West End Theatre in London and sports trips to see the Basketball in New York and Ice Hockey in Canada. It has been an amazing ride so far, with hopefully many more adventures to come! Our love of Snow Skiing has taken us abroad and I been lucky enough to also experience skiing throughout the USA including Colorado & The Sierra Nevada's, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Austria and New Zealand. In addition, my adventures have taken me right around our own beautiful country, from hiking around Uluru and Kings Canyon, Sunset Camel rides in Broome, fishing in The Gulf of Carpentaria, learning about bush medicine in Arnhem Land, swimming in the secluded waterholes of the Kimberley to diving our amazing Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef!! Having 4 children of my own, I also understand the logistics & challenges of travelling with a large family, but believe me, it can done and done enjoyably, creating memories you'll hold dear for life! I have had 26 years experience working in Leisure & Corporate Travel. I am very honoured to have been nominated and make the top 10 finalist list for Women In Travel, Australia wide. Travel is about truly experiencing a destination and immersing yourself with unique experiences, cultures and food so that it holds a place in your heart forever. Allow me to curate the perfect adventures that are unique to you. Sincerely, Donna
