Like a jewel dropped into the ocean, travelling to Sri Lanka with kids delights with culture, wildlife, gems, adventure, welcoming locals and exotic beauty every which way.
On an overnight flight from Perth to Tokyo, imagine my delight to discover I’ve been upgraded to business class with a fully reclining flatbed. The 9 1/2-hour flight just became even more appealing, as you’ll soon discover with this ANA flight review. I was already thrilled to be flying to Japan, but now, I was almost too excited to sleep.
Cultural immersion doesn’t get much more fascinating than attending music festivals in Asia and Western Australia, where festival-goers are just as likely to be locals as international tourists. From a rainforest to a UNESCO World Heritage site to artists’ studios, you might be surprised that some festivals in Asia and Western Australia are so special, that you will happily plan your holiday around these unique cultural feasts.
Deemed the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, this Ubud itinerary includes many of my favourite things to do in one of my most beloved destinations on earth. Allow yourself the indulgence of doing less, taking it slow and taking a break from life as you know it. This is a journey of rejuvenation and relaxation.
On a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, I was incredibly lucky to fly on Malaysia Airlines Business Class. My indulgent journey started from the moment I checked in at the Perth Airport, and it was one of the few times I didn’t want the flight to end.

A slither of a country, Vietnam is cocooned between China, Cambodia, Laos and the South China Sea. Once divided by war, Saigon formerly held rank as the capital in the south until reunification in 1976 when it was renamed to Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi in the north took the reins. In Central Vietnam, and just an hour’s drive from Da Nang International Airport, the Lāng Cô region knows no such drama.
Hanoi, Hue, Ho Chi Minh, Hoi An, humanity, horns, honking, hovering, hammering, haze, haunting…the soundtrack of traffic in Vietnam.
Cruising down the Mekong on my virgin voyage into the world of cruising was an unforgettable experience that I just had to share on Travel Writers Radio with Graeme Kemlo. G&T’s at sunset, Angkor Wat at sunrise and meeting some of the happiest people I’ve ever encountered were just a couple of the highlights of this 8-day Mekong cruise from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City aboard the Toum Tiou II with CF Mekong Cruises by Croisi Europe.
