The People Along the Way
Some of my favourite travel memories weren’t landmarks at all, but the people I met along the way — different cultures, faiths and nationalities, connected for a moment by curiosity and a smile.

London to Paris — Limping in Style
I left London with bruised toes, wonderful memories of a very generous friend, photos with a few of my “favourite people” — including Shrek — and one final surprise: an unexpected upgrade to business class. 😁

London in the rain…
London gave me 4-degree weather, rain and a few fleeting snowflakes. But it also gave me Tower Bridge glowing over the Thames—and a very generous friend who made sure I experienced as much of the city as we could.

Amal Clooney Shouldn’t Be Jealous
Some travel encounters require no explanation. Amal Clooney can relax—he’s not my type. 😂

Day 2: Amsterdam — Getting Lost, Asking Around and Trusting Siri
I arrived in Amsterdam armed with a poor sense of direction and far too much faith in Siri. Between the wrong tram stop, the wrong Anne Frank meeting point and several very kind strangers, getting lost became part of the adventure.

Zurich — Welcome to Europe
I arrived in Zurich determined to travel sensibly. Within hours, I had already blown part of the budget on public toilets. Welcome to Europe. 😂

The $1,000 Europe Challenge
Seven destinations. One traveller. AUD$1,000 spending money. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

Did Not Feel Loved in the City of Love
Business-class upgrade, missed Eiffel Tower tour, almost no accessible money and McDonald’s coming to the rescue. Paris was beautiful—but the City of Love certainly made me work for our relationship. 😂

Say Yes to Life
I don’t think I went looking for an adventurous life. I simply kept saying yes—and whenever life raised the hurdle, I became curious about how I was going to get over it.

Where the Red Earth Meets the Green
The red earth, rugged ranges and unexpected flashes of green around Alice Springs stopped me in my tracks. Sometimes a landscape does more than impress you — it reminds you to look beyond yourself and wonder at the One who created it.
