Home sweet home.

[A two minute read] I love travelling – for work or for fun – it’s so wonderful to experience other cultures and explore new landscapes. I’ve just returned from my first Intrepid trip through Spain, Portugal and Morocco, an incredible adventure. As exciting as travel can be, I always love coming home. Descending back into […]

Running on fire.

[A five minute read] Before you read about my journey running up a volcano, check out PART ONE here. THE START LINE. Soundtrack: Cheap Thrills. We checked in to Athletes Village where we saw the volcanic landscape up close for the first time. Lots of loose, large pebbles. Perfect running conditions. Not. We complete a quick […]

Life changing Guatemala.

[A five minute read] I’m not sure words can articulate my trip to Guatemala for Impact Marathon. A rollercoaster of a week where I ticked off several bucket list goals, persevered through the toughest physical challenge I’ve ever undertaken, connected and contributed, and experienced the several of the most incredibly joyful moments of my life to […]

Crack crackers.

The crack of snacks. My checklist for a perfect snack: one I can make in bulk and keep at my desk, a snack I can take to a party [and even friends allergic to anything healthy will enjoy], a snack that will save me when I’m too busy to eat a proper meal, one I […]

THE carry-on pack list.

[A three minute read] I try to avoid checking in luggage at all costs. I spent weeks preparing for my month in Colombia [in 2016] so I could pack efficiently enough to only take carry on and I loved travelling light. But there are times when it’s tricky to not check in bags – like […]

C2 2017: The dossier.

[A five minute read + photos] A few months ago, I was invited to attend C2 Montréal as part of a global delegation of business and event peeps. This made me more excited than a kid at Disneyland. For eons, I had looked to C2 as the industry benchmark – for innovation, inspiration and ideas. Looking back at […]

Operation: MINIBREAK

[A five minute read] A stress free weekend, for less than the price of a Sydney dinner. Yes, it can be done! The last few months have been heeeeectic. I’m sure you can relate. It’s easy to think that doing overtime will help you get ahead, and sometimes it will. But sometimes having time away […]

7 event travel essentials.

[A three minute read] Travel is a part of our job description as event managers and I still remember my first business trip (escorting Ronald McDonald on a road show but that’s another story…) I felt so glamorous, confident, grown up and ready for adventure. The gloss somewhat wears off when you are working 16 hour […]

Flow in Colombia.

[A three minute read] I write this from the back seat of a mini bus, halfway between Cartagena and Santa Marta along the Colombian Caribbean Coast. Long distance buses in foreign countries are not something I usually say “yay!” to. In my mind, I imagine being wedged between chickens and screaming children for hours on end […]

Keep calm with carry on.

[A five minute read] After locking in my South American adventure, I realised I would be on 10 flights in 30 days. Sydney – San Francisco – Cancun – Medellin – Cartagena – Santa Marta – Bogota – Los Angeles – Sydney. I was not keen to drag a suitcase though cities with haphazard footpaths, […]
