When looking for ones’ tribe, we search for those most like us. Those with similar values, desires and goals. It’s no surprise that I found my tribe at the aptly-named Tribe Hotel in Perth. This hotel is turning traditional hotel etiquette on its head, providing all the things millennials desire while traveling and leaving behind […]
Seashells Broome: an affordable dream escape near Cable Beach
She sells seashells by the seashore was a fun tongue twister when I was young. Now that I’m a bit older, I much prefer this updated version: She stays at Seashells by the seashore. On my recent trip to Broome, I checked into Seashells Broome, an award-winning property with a choice of 4.5-star AAA rated […]
Mantra Charles Hotel: Lounging and lollies in Launceston
After leaving the rest and relaxation of Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, Jean from The Traveling Honeybird and I headed for Launceston. Set on the Tamar River, Tasmania’s second major city is known for its food and wine, and every local recommended we visit Cataract Gorge Reserve for its panoramic views. Upon arrival at Mantra Charles […]

Glamping in the Yarra Valley
Melbourne may be the most liveable city in the world, but every once in a while it’s good to get away. Thankfully the Yarra Valley is less than two hours’ drive from the CBD (even on a Friday at 5pm). One of Australia’s top wine regions, the Yarra Valley beckons with promises of wine, cheese, […]
