Born and raised in Australia, I consider Adelaide to be my hometown. I moved to the USA in my mid-20s and have focused on South Pacific travel for most of that time. I have traveled to most capital cities and every state of Australia and to Fiji, Tahiti, and Bora Bora. Australia will forever be in my heart, but Bora Bora is truly breathtaking, and is one of my favorite destinations for its beautiful turquoise lagoon, snorkeling experiences, and striking mountain.  Fiji holds a place in my heart for the wonderful warm Fijians and their humbling lifestyle and traditions.  I enjoy Sauvignon Blanc, Cadbury’s chocolate, extra sharp cheddar cheese, sausage rolls and lamb. I love alpine scenery and am blessed to live in the Pacific Northwest. Australian beaches are very different than here, but I appreciate this rocky, natural beauty just as much as a sandy, uncrowded local beaches of home.
