Sunrise, sunset & starlight on the Great Barrier Reef
Australia

The Great Barrier Reef (one of the 7 wonders of the Natural World) needs no introduction. A World Heritage playground just waiting to be explored - experience it above and below the water. Charter a luxury yacht with expert crew, sail your own catamaran or enjoy an all inclusive cruise.
Jump on board a scenic helicopter flight or for something quite incredible, dive beneath the surface or sleep under the sea. Spend a magical night aboard Reefsuite and have a front row seat to the dazzling underwater world, trust us this could be the most memorable night’s sleep you ever have.

Why I love travel:
The places I see and the people I meet, travel really is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from all cultures and walks of life. Remember life is short, travel often.
My travel tips:
- If you are always early, you are never late.
- Prebook as much as possible before you go and schedule rest days on long trips.
- Live courageously - you miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take.
My top 3 favourite destinations:
- Italy - The food, the history, the people, the stunning coastlines, and mountains. Italy should be on everyone's bucket list.
- USA - With a multitude of cultures to experience and adventures to be had, you could spend your life just in the USA and not see everything.
- Patagonia - A challenge to reach, the landscapes that will great you make every minute of the journey worth the effort.
What's in my suitcase:
- Kindle/E-reader - it is easy to pack, light to carry, and has a long battery life; this is an essential on all my trips.
- Noise cancelling headphones - perfect for noisy flights and airports.
- Travel plug adapter - easy to forget but a must have.
