Let's clear something up about travel agents. 👇

Most people don't realise how much I can actually book. Cruises. Motorhomes. Car hire. Disneyland. Universal. Sports tickets. Hotels. Tours. Basically everything and anything travel related.

And I keep hearing the same things:
"Oh, I didn't want to bother you."
"I didn't realise you could book that."

You're not bothering me. This is my job, and it's my business. I'm always the first to support my friends' businesses, so it stings when it's my turn and the holiday on a cruise, Fiji, Japan for example gets booked online without a word to me.

And "travel agents cost more"? That's simply not true. I often get access to deals and inclusions you can't find yourself, and if something goes wrong mid-trip, you have a real person to call, not a chatbot or a call centre overseas.

So before you book anything, even if you're not sure I can do it, just ask me. Chances are I can, and I'll probably save you money and stress. ✈️

Support local. Support your friends. Message me BEFORE you book. 💛

Last night Dad and I had the privilege of presenting to a room full of eager trekkers ready to take on the infamous Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea.

This is more than just a topic we love. It is our family legacy, and sharing it always fills us with pride and emotion.

We spoke about how to truly prepare for the trail, not just physically but mentally, because Kokoda asks everything of you and gives back so much more.

If Kokoda is something you have been thinking about, please reach out. I would love nothing more than to talk you through it and help you take the first step toward one of the most rewarding journeys of your life

🚗⛴️ HEADS UP FOR EV OWNERS & HIRERS — FERRY TRAVEL TO ISLANDS

Planning to take your Electric Vehicle on a ferry to Moreton Island, Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, Magnetic Island or similar? Make sure you notify the ferry company in advance!

Many operators are taking a cautious approach to EVs onboard and will only accept 1 or 2 at a time, positioning them at the bow or stern of the vessel as a safety precaution while underway. ---quick push overboard if it does catch fire maybe heheh! 🔥

Turn up unannounced and you risk being turned away or bumped to the next available EV slot, not ideal when you've got a trip planned!

My family just came back from Kangaroo Island and experienced this firsthand, so consider this your friendly reminder to call ahead and confirm before you board.

To be clear, there have been no battery fire incidents recorded on Australian ferries to my knowledge. This is simply ferry operators being proactive and cautious given the well-documented risks associated with EV battery fires in enclosed spaces.

Don't let it catch you off guard! 🙌
