Over 1000 people have died with some reports estimating ten times that number 🥺

We're launching an emergency appeal through The Intrepid Foundation to support communities impacted by the powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

We’re matching all donations up to $100,000 to help deliver medical support and aid. All funds will go directly to our trusted local NGO partner in , who is providing urgent rescue and relief to those most affected.

The earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday, causing widespread devastation and loss of life. Hundreds have been injured, and many remote regions already impacted by years of conflict are now even harder to reach with vital support.

Myanmar is a place many in our community have visited and care deeply about. While we don’t currently travel there, we remain committed to supporting local partners and communities in times of crisis.

If you’re able to help, your donation will go twice as far today. 💛

What if…🤩

12/03/2025

🧐 take note!

Singapore Airlines is joining the growing number of airlines which ban ‘power bank’ battery packs being used or charged on board.

From 1 April 2025 “Singapore Airlines customers will not be allowed to charge portable power banks via the onboard USB ports, or use power banks to charge their personal devices, throughout the duration of the flight.”

While power banks are still permitted along with other carry-on items, you won’t be allowed to connect the power bank to your phone or tablet during the flight.

The restrictions follow similar moves by airlines across Asia, which have tightened rules on power banks due to the potential fire risks associated with lithium-based batteries.

Their properties are stunning! Well worth incorporating into an African adventure

There’s a certain je ne sais quoi to owner-run camps. Small, well-run and with a personal attention to detail, they speak to the independent, adventurous traveller and the growing move towards safari experiences entrenched in people and place.

Laba Laba’s flourishing portfolio comprising small safari lodges and a private island in Tanzania, is a case in point. What began four years ago as an ode to French-born owner Xavier Marie’s childhood roots, has become a legacy project for him and his wife Julie Brisson.

Their career trajectory from the world of interiors and fashion to hospitality brings a fresh, exciting perspective to the conservation-based, nature-led experiences they offer. Their focus on each lodge as a place of refuge, relaxation and wellness is on track with travel trends. While their hands-on approach means that every meal comes from Julie’s personal cookbook, with produce sourced organically to Xavier’s exacting standards. Every one of the interiors at their lodges and camps have been hand chosen by Marie and Xavier, and as such tell the story of their interests, their passions and their insistence on quality and flair - no matter the location. We can’t wait to share their unique take on Africa with you.

I wrote an article about my recent Monaco educational trip:

It’s not often an overseas famil offers the chance to rub shoulders with a royal family. SARAH WEBSTER from Wayfinder Travel in Teneriffe, Queensland, explains how it all came about.

I’m currently working on a few client enquiries - an extended-family Christmas holiday, a Sri Lanka & Maldives escape, and an African bucket list trip, filled with wildlife experiences, to name just a few. My own ‘wanderlist’ gets longer by the day as a result.

The joy of watching a sunrise or sunset from a new perspective is a real tonic for the soul so a superb vista is a strong consideration when choosing accommodations. Everyone deserves magic in their lives 🤩
