Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places to visit. I was fortunate to travel for 6 days in September with Holidays on Location and Tourism Switzerland.

We packed up the car & caravan in September and headed north to escape the Ballarat weather for a few fun filled weeks with all the family.

During July and August I took Long Service Leave and had a wonderful holiday to the Uk in the main, plus a touch of France and Holland.

For 3 weeks throughout July I was able to travel through the Eastern European Countries of Romania, Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

I was one of the lucky consultants to be chosen to experience The” Jahan “ Cruising from Siem Reap to Saigon with Insider Journeys to explore and experience The Magnificent Temples of Angkor & moving sights of Saigon and the Mekong Delta.

I was fortunate enough to spend a month in Jordan and Egypt in April with my sister.

In late March we set off on our Escorted Tour ‘Road to Gallipoli’ which was simply fantastic. Desert, sea, sand, green fields, ruins, mountains, monuments and moments we will never forget.

In December I was lucky enough to travel with St Patrick’s College Ballarat on their USA Basketball Tour. The 2 week tour saw 28 year 9, 10 & 11 students and 6 staff and parents take in the sights of Washington DC, Durham, Raleigh, Ashville and Charlotte in North Carolina and a final stop in Anaheim & Los Angeles.

During the recent Christmas holiday period I spent 7 weeks travelling around Europe with my family. It was so beautiful seeing the magical Christmas markets and with the smells of spices and ginger bread throughout the air.
