“I was awe-struck for days after seeing the geysers and bubbling mud pools. I love how Kiwis center and respect their indigenous culture. A must-see!”

“Australia is a place keeps on giving. Its an incredibly diverse country where you can go from a yacht in Sydney Harbour with a private chef, to four-wheeling in the remote Northern Territory while wallabies hop along with you. With so many unique experiences available I always leave planning my next trip back.”

“New Zealand is one of the most special places in the world. In one tiny country, you will encounter the most stunning peaks, turquoise water, lush green nature, and warm people on Earth.”

“Bucket List Alert! Experience the grandeur of the Great Barrier Reef from above on an exclusive helicopter tour. Only accessible by helicopter, land on Heart Island, take a glass-bottom boat tour around Heart Reef, snorkel in its crystalline waters - if you're lucky you'll meet a reef shark - then celebrate with champagne.”

“Tahiti is the place to recharge your batteries. It is so easy to become lost in the destination and explore nature fully.”

“People think of Tahiti for the overwater bungalows and crystal clear water. Rightfully so, that is much of the allure! However, I love Tahiti for the beautiful confluence of Polynesian and French cultures.”

“Taking a helicopter ride over the Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound on New Zealand's South Island, is a must.”
