For me, it has always been about great travel experiences and travel stories – and sharing them.

I have a love of good food and wine, enjoy photography, have often been labelled a seasoned shopper, and seek out and enjoy the finer things in life.

For forty plus years (bitten by the travel bug on my OE), I have traveled as a traveler and a tourist; and as tour escort while representing airlines and promoting a number of destinations.

I am now looking forward to helping others enjoy what this wonderful world of ours has to offer.

The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” — G.K. Chesterton

Seventeen years promoting and experiencing Malaysia in my role as NZ Sales Manager for Malaysia Airlines, in conjunction with the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board. Six years promoting Singapore with Singapore Airlines; regular visits to Thailand most years since 1990; have just recently returned from an extended stay in New York.

Over the years, on business and with my family, I have enjoyed considerable time in various parts of Asia, Australia, USA, UK and Europe, The Maldives, Pacific Islands.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
