" After a long career in the legal industry sitting behind a desk, I have found the perfect way of life: a job sharing my passion of all things travel and in between living in paradise. My home town is Port Macquarie (a few hours drive from the easternmost point of Australia) where we are touted to have not only the best weather of the country but more importantly dolphins, whales, camels, koalas, and kangaroos as our locals. Holidays are great but my aim is to provide the experiences and memories to create the trip of a lifetime!"
