On a recent trip to India I embarked on a Private Organised Tour for just myself and my husband.   This meant that we had our own Private Car and Driver and Private guides in the many different cities that we visited and we stayed in many Heritage Palaces and Forts which have now been converted into Hotels.
Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, 8:25pm on a Friday night and the city is electrifying.
In July I travelled to Central Australia for a short break. We arrived in Alice Springs to unseasonal warm weather – 27 degrees, and after collecting a 4WD at the airport we headed through “The Gap” to the town proper.
Colombia has a, perhaps, colourful history – cocaine trafficking, drug cartels, kidnappings, guerrilla armies to name a few, however I didn’t ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe in the towns/cities we visited (Bogota, Salento, the coffee estansia, Medellin, Cartagena).
After months of agonising stressing, planning, preparing, cancelling and rebooking, my partner Scott and I were finally on a flight to Negombo, Sri lanka via Kuala Lumpur.
In July 2014 I travelled to Sabah, Malaysia on the island of Borneo. My itinerary was private throughout. From Kota Kinabalu, KK as it is locally referred to, Mt Kinabalu quickly came into view as a dominant feature – 4,095 metres, the tallest mountain on the island of Borneo.
In November 2011 I embarked on my first trek in the Nepalese Himalaya Annapurna Region. The Annapurna Region is a great region to trek for first time trekkers as you do not trek to as higher altitude as the Everest Region however saying this there is no easy trek in the Himalaya no matter what region you are trekking in.
In August I was lucky enough to have my first trip to India and I undertook a 7 day riverboat trip with Assam Bengal Navigation.
My recent dive trip to Papua New Guinea was a truly memorable experience.
