My most memorable trip
Indonesia
One of my most memorable trips was when I went to Indonesia with my mum back in 2011. Having spent a whole year living in Australia and exploring the wonders of New Zealand, this trip marked a special reunion for us. The experience was truly incredible as it was the first time my mother and I spent such an extended period apart, and the adventure we shared made it all the more extraordinary.

Japan
I would love to visit Japan. It is at the top of my bucket list and I will make sure it happens soon! I would love to experience the incredible culture, taste all of the delicious food, make sushi with a sushi master, see the beautiful Mount Fuji and cruise over Lake Ashi, go shopping in Tokyo - my list is endless!

Borneo
"The Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary in Sandakan was a truly remarkable experience and is an absolute must-visit for wildlife lovers. Here, the monkeys enjoy the freedom to roam around the sanctuary."

Sri Lanka
"I highly recommend embarking on the World's End trek in Sri Lanka. Although it requires an early start, the trek itself is not overly challenging, making it accessible to many. The real reward awaits at the end when you're treated to the most breathtaking sunrise views, making every step along the way worthwhile."

My favourite trip
Thailand and Vietnam Culinary Adventure
I absolutely love all the foodie adventures we have to offer. My love for food knows no bounds – whether it's relishing mouthwatering dishes, honing my cooking skills, or exploring vibrant markets. South East Asia, in particular, holds a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences where food takes center stage.
My favourite hotel
Shinta Mani Wild
It is impossible to pick just a single hotel, however I would love to stay at Shinta Mani Wild in Cambodia for the incredible jungle surroundings, endless exciting activities, beautiful spa and luxury tent style accommodation.
My top tips
In Vietnam, visit Lan Ha Bay instead of Halong Bay. The scenery is just as spectacular, but it is way less busy! Lan Ha Bay has a restriction on the number of boats in the area, so you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery without loads of boats disturbing the view.
For those seeking a truly authentic cultural immersion, I highly recommend visiting Luang Prabang in Laos. The essence of Buddhist culture here permeates everyday life, creating a captivating experience like no other.
When visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra, make sure to do both a sunrise and a sunset tour. The play of sunlight on the magnificent structure changes dramatically throughout the day, offering two entirely distinct experiences.
If you're a food enthusiast planning a trip to Japan, make sure to include Osaka in your itinerary! This vibrant city boasts an extraordinary street-food scene that's a must-try for any culinary adventurer.
