The Joy Of Travel

Research Is Key But So Is An Open Mind

For me, travel gives me a lot of joy and also a break from the stresses of life at home. I am lucky enough to travel on my partner’s work trips regularly- usually once a month or so.

I have travelled to the UK and Europe solo as a young, unworldly 22 year old. I holidayed solo on tropical island resorts on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and then became a Qantas flight attendant at 25.

Later I took trips to the UK, UAE, Italy, Japan, Vanuatu and New Zealand.

But it is on my current short trips to places like Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, New York, Auckland, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Santiago that I have really learnt the benefits of researching before you depart, having a loose plan of what to see and where to go but also being open to unexpected adventures.

I hope you enjoy my travel tales and tips.
