Thank you for your support in this first quarter of 2024 - It has been the busiest one ever!!! So many exciting trips you are taking off on this year.

I'm taking a pause over the Easter weekend to spend time with family - and I want to wish you a well-deserved break with your families too.

What can you expect on a 3-night cruise in Fiji through the Mamanuca & Southern Yasawa Islands?

Besides the fabulous Fijian crew on you get…

🚢 A spacious cabin
🏝️ Incredible views
🇫🇯 All-inclusive expeditions
🏖️ Lots of beach time
🤿 Snorkelling every day
🥥 Visits to film locations like Monuriki (Castaway) and Monu Island (Survivor)
🦈 Shark feeding
🍲 Gourmet meals (and drinks with all meals) with epic views

This is one of ten awesome itineraries on offer. I also shared a day-by-day of the 7-day Remote North itinerary in some previous reels on Instagram.

So, if Fiji is on your radar, you need to speak to me. I'd love to help match you with the right trip (they have some insane promos on right now too).

I'm back from the Christmas/New Year break, and I'm ready to help you bring your travel plans to life for 2024 (with some clients already locking in 2025 and 2026).

Happy New Year 🥳

I discovered this gem as I cruised through Indonesia with Heritage Expeditions and now I’m back I’ve had an article published on how you can get to the dive paradise that is Wakatobi.

It can take around 30 hours to get there but I discovered two ways to get there much quicker and in way more style.

Find out how on the link (it's on page 29). I promise you want to get there sooner than later.

Today I am setting sail on the inaugural sailing on Heritage Adventurer from Bali to Papua New Guinea with Heritage Expeditions

I’ll be back in the ‘office’ on 31 October but if you need anything while I’m away I’ve got the fabulous Kate looking after you (her details are on my bounce back).

If you’d love to follow along on the expedition, my stories are going to be filled with a mix of jungle paradise, the best dive spots in the world, and all the flora and fauna that is endemic to this tropical region. We’ll be visiting Komodo, Raja Ampat, and some of the most remote islands on this planet (some get less than 200 visitors a year).

Find me on IG

PS. Some photos of my last visit to Komodo in 2019

I am off again to show you some other parts of my favourite state in Australia on Sunday (May 1st), followed by a week in a country that you have probably never considered going to before.

I'll be sharing behind the scenes as I adventure on Instagram.
https://www.instagram.com/wildheartedworld/

I'll be back on the 17th of May but if you need help with a new or existing booking, my wonderful colleague, Kate, will be able to help. I'll have her details on my out of office and voicemail if you need assistance.

Hopefully see you over on IG.

🙌🏼 Hands up if you want to triple your holiday time in 2022?!

I heard that YES, and I’ve put in the leg work so you know which days to request off to maximise your annual leave. We all need it after the past couple of years.

✈️ Save my process in case you test positive to Covid before you travel.

I've had two clients test positive before departure this week and it really sucks. Luckily for them, I've been fixing travel disasters for 13 years now (I've seen it all).

They made the call to me, and I wrapped it all up for them (saving them hours of time and reducing their stress).

If you book your own travel and don't have the luxury of handing the drama over to a travel advisor to fix it, I've outlined my simple process so you can collect your thoughts, and make the structured moves you need to.

Hit the link below to access it, and as always, ask me any questions you want. I'm always happy to point you in the right direction (even if you didn't book with me). 😉

Lots of love,

Travel is back ✈️

I have been quietly working away behind the scenes for the past twenty months and am proud to say I have weathered the storm and am still here.

The last few weeks have been incredibly exciting with hundreds of thousands of dollars of travel booked for my amazing clients that have stuck with me and supported me during this time.

THANK YOU, I couldn't have done it without you.

If you're dreaming of travel, please reach out and let me help seamlessly navigate this new world we travel forward into.

Who can travel where in Australia?

If you don't yet have your masters in reading state border policies, this article is the next best thing 👇

The Karryon Aussie border update is back to help you navigate the pandemic and ongoing state border closures.

I was hoping we would not come back to this point again, but here we are.

If your upcoming travel plans are after 9 July, I will be in touch over the coming days. At the moment I am dealing with urgent travel cancellations and changes up to that date and appreciate your patience.

If you haven't booked your travel through me but are needing help, I recommend first checking with the company you have booked through along with state government websites for up to date policies and restrictions (all on the below link).

Thank you 🙏

It's been a while since I posted here on Facebook but I want to let you know I am still here and still living and breathing travel - even if it that does look different to what it used to be.

Thank you to all of you that have been reaching out to book your Australia and New Zealand travel. It means the world to me and I can't thank you enough for supporting my business and I 🙏

🌴 We are so happy for our Kiwi neighbours that they can now enter the Cook Islands from 17 May. Fingers are crossed that Aussies will get the chance to return there soon too 🤞

It has brought about quite the discussion for Aussies wanting to visit the Cook Islands and I am setting the record straight below.

While technically there is a loophole that you could enter NZ, stay 14 days and continue on to the Cook Islands, followed up by spending another 14 days in NZ before returning to Aus without quarantining - we DO NOT advise doing this.

Australia has strict laws in place which could see you facing up to five years in prison and a $63,000 fine if found guilty.

For now, we keep practising patience. I will keep you posted as soon as we have the green light to travel.

If you have any questions before then, you can always shoot me a message.

We’re pleased to share an exclusive opportunity with you. If you hold a Gold or higher frequent flyer status with another airline, we're giving you the chance to experience a Touch of Gold with Air New Zealand for the next four months.

A Touch of Gold membership allows you to enjoy the ultimate Air New Zealand experience and other Airpoints Gold benefits, like lounge access, premium check-in, priority baggage and frequent flyer seating.

Think you will be doing lots of travel and want to have the Gold Membership extended? You're in luck. After the initial four-month period, if the required Status Points have been earned through travel redemption, the Gold Membership will be extended for eight months - which means a full year of benefits.

So, if you are looking to reach new heights of comfort and this sounds like an opportunity that you're interested in, please send me a message and I'll share the details with you.
