Though I have travelled the world on everything from planes, trains, and automobiles to mega ships and even ships of the dessert, I have steadfastly avoided ever setting foot in a helicopter. This is mostly due to a) my being scared of flying, b) my being claustrophobic and; c) my being a gutless chicken shit. […] Read more…
Some might say it is odd that I chose a career in travel given that I am as afraid of flying as I am of Donald Trump’s comb over and that weird cheese that comes in a can. But it’s not actually flying that terrifies me, it’s crashing. Something I think is reasonable given there’s no bigger downer on […] Read more…
The pilgrimage to Stellensbosch, just a 45 minute drive from the sights of stunning Cape Town, is one all self-respecting foodies visiting South Africa should make. The vibrant university town in South Africa’s Western Cape province is not only home to some of South Africa’s best food and artisanal producers, but is conveniently plonked (if […] Read more…

The winter blues make the best of us over-sleep and over-eat. But rather than fighting it we’ve decided to embrace the over-indulgence with a weekend away, at home. As the school holidays approach, the kids are getting a little tired and crabby. And so am I because a couple of whiney-arsed kids will do that to […] Read more…
Having visited The Reef several times, I know there is a risk, despite it’s beauty, that the kids could get hot, tired and whiney spending a whole day on the water. And that the long boat trip required to reach the reef may result in those convenient on board sick bags being activated! So, to experience a little reef magic while keeping […] Read more…
What are the key ingredients to a perfect beach holiday? It turns out that for my kids it is curry spices, fresh seafood, slithering serpents and selfies with Spiderman. Wait, what? No, the kids are not having acid flashbacks. And neither am I. They’ve just fallen more than a little in love with the unique offerings of the […] Read more…
Written in collaboration with Southern Cross Travel Insurance The interwebs are packed full to overflowing with advice for parents on what to do when travelling with kids. But I think it’s just as important for families to know what not to do on the road, because no matter how many “how to” lists you consume before […] Read more…
They say that no family holiday to Tokyo is complete without donning a set of mouse ears. So I decided to surprise my brood by ending our Japanese adventures in dazzling Disney style. My bad. When, on our last day in Tokyo, I wake them with the news they will be spending their day at […] Read more…
Raffles and Sugarpuff have chronic wanderlust in their DNA, so it’s a rare moment the tiny travellers aren’t dreaming of new adventures to far flung destinations. As much as I’d love to make all their travel dreams come true, our bank balance is not on the same page. So how do we scratch their itchy feet without a trip to the airport? Turns out that armchair travel […] Read more…
So what does a normal family do when they first arrive in Tokyo? Hit up some of the incredible shrines? Stroll the flashy neon strips of the Shinjuku, Shibuya or Harajuku shopping districts? Drown in a sea of Hello Kitty paraphernalia? Or stop to snack on sushi? You’ll have to tell me. My family isn’t […] Read more…
The brochures tell us that Koh Khai Nok is a teensy tiny island tucked away in Phang Nga Bay, surrounded by turquoise water and teeming with a ridiculous quantity of fish.
