Jet lag used to be the part of travel I dreaded most. Not the packing. Not the long flights. The bone-deep exhaustion that hit on arrival... the kind that steals your first few days and makes everything feel foggy, flat, and harder than it should be. As an Aussie, long-haul travel is just part of the deal. Whether I’m landing in Athens, Casablanca or Barcelona, it’s usually after 20+ hours of flying, multiple time zones, and some very questionable sleep. But after years of long-haul travel, I...
Southern Spain has a way of pulling you in. It’s not just the big-ticket sights... the Moorish palaces, the cliffside walks, the UNESCO-listed landmarks... it’s the in-between moments. Rooftop sunsets with €2 wine. Wandering historic villages with no real plan. Eating tapas while watching locals dancing in the streets. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how to experience Andalusia properly... without rushing, burnout, or trying to squeeze the entire south of Spain into a week. If you ...
After more than 20 years of travelling, I’ve learned that travel isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how you show up while you’re there. I’ve experienced some truly magical moments on the road… and I’ve also been stuck next to some wildly uncomfortable travel behaviour. The kind that doesn’t ruin a trip entirely, but subtly drains the joy out of flights, airports, tours, and group adventures. This episode of Tourist to Traveller is a candid, good-humoured look at my biggest travel icks....
If you’ve seen the news lately, chances are you’ve seen headlines about escalating conflict in parts of the Middle East and Europe. And when those headlines start appearing, many travellers immediately ask the same question: Should I still travel? It’s a complicated space to navigate. Safety matters, of course. But the world is also far more nuanced than a breaking news alert or a dramatic headline. In this episode of Tourist to Traveller, I’m sharing the process I personally used when this e...
Some travel memories blur with time. Others stay so vivid you can almost taste them again. For me, so many of those lasting memories are tied to food... not just what was on the plate, but where I was sitting, who I was with, and that exact moment when I took a bite and knew it was special. In this episode, I’m sharing the most unforgettable meals I’ve eaten around the world. These aren’t fancy fine-dining experiences or viral Instagram spots. They’re the meals that made me pause and smile, t...
Have you ever scrolled through Instagram, saved a hundred dreamy travel posts… and then felt completely stuck on where to start? Like everyone else has some secret system for planning epic trips, and you somehow missed the memo. I’ve been there. And after more than 20 years of fitting bucket-list adventures around full-time work, and real-life responsibilities, I’ve learned that great travel doesn’t come from over-planning... it comes from smart planning. In this episode, I’m sharing the exac...
Tasmania is one of those destinations people think they understand, until they actually go. It’s often labelled as cold, quiet, or somewhere you just “do a quick lap.” But spend any real time there and you realise Tasmania is layered, wild, creative, and deeply rewarding for travellers who are willing to slow down. In this destination deep dive, I’m sharing how to experience Tasmania... from choosing the right regions to avoiding the biggest planning mistakes I see time-poor travellers make a...
For every dreamy travel photo you see online, there’s usually a moment behind the scenes where something didn’t go to plan. A missed flight. Accommodation that looked nothing like the photos. Or that sinking feeling when you realise you’ve packed your itinerary so tightly there’s no room to actually enjoy the trip. After more than 20 years of travelling, often squeezing bucket-list adventures into annual leave, I’ve had my fair share of travel fails. And while they were frustrating at the tim...
Most travellers have never heard of Palau, and that’s exactly what makes it so fascinating. Palau is one of the most unique destinations in the Pacific. With more than 300 islands and one of the world’s largest marine sanctuaries, Palau offers a very different experience to more commercialised tropical destinations. Tucked away in Micronesia, Palau is a country where visitor numbers are intentionally low, where you sign an environmental pledge on arrival, and where entire islands remain...
Travel is changing… and if you’ve felt that pull towards slower, more meaningful adventures, you’re not alone. The way we travel in 2026 looks very different to the whirlwind, checklist-style trips of the past. Travellers are craving depth over speed, intention over excess, and experiences that actually enhance their lives. In this episode of the Tourist to Traveller Podcast, I explore the 10 biggest travel trends shaping 2026, from iconic road trips and underrated destinations to off-grid es...
I’m an independent traveller at heart. I love planning my own trips and moving at my own pace. But sometimes, a group tour is honestly the smartest option, especially when time, energy, or logistics are working against you. The problem is, not all group tours are created equal. If you’ve ever been stuck on a massive bus, rushed through highlights, or dragged from one tourist shop to another, you’ll know how quickly a trip can lose its magic. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal process fo...
Have you already started dreaming about where 2026 might take you? Not just anywhere, but somewhere that still feels authentic, meaningful, and memorable. With crowds intensifying, costs rising, and overtourism changing the way destinations feel, travel is shifting. 2026 isn’t about ticking off the same hotspots everyone else is chasing. It’s about choosing places with depth, diversity, and stories that stay with you long after the trip ends. In this episode, I’m sharing the destinations I be...
