When I was younger, we always took last minute holidays. Almost all of our trips abroad were booked as late deals – we usually had an idea that we wanted to go somewhere on a certain week but were pretty open about where we might end up. We used to get excited and read all of the holiday brochures to get inspiration about different places but there was nothing more fun than heading into the travel agents on a Saturday morning with my mum and asking what deals were on. Back then, as I was in the . . . Keep Reading
Family fun at Rainbow Beach – the ultimate family holiday destination
"How is it possible that we've never been to Rainbow Beach," I ask Hubby as we look out at the waves crashing on the deserted stretch of golden sand. We've travelled around Australia a lot over the last few years, yet we've only just discovered this gorgeous corner of the world.

The first with our kids and my in laws (who were over visiting from the UK), and the second was a very rare romantic retreat for Hubby and I. . . . Keep Reading
Retreating to Byron Bay for some ‘me time’
Everybody should visit Byron Bay in New South Wales at least once in their lifetime. Honestly. It truly is my happy place and has been ever since Hubby and I first visited while backpacking in 2008. So I was very excited when I got commissioned to write a travel feature about a mind, body and soul break to the area for Australia and New Zealand magazine in the UK. Obviously that sort of break doesn't work with three kids in tow, so it meant a girlie holiday!!! I've written a big feature . . . Keep Reading
