These trails were a little different to my usual rambles. But I loved walking in the shoes of Okinawans. #hiking #hikingadventures #greatwalks #okinawa #japan #astw

I’d like to make a huge shout out to Kalinda and Wayne of @RexAirlines. After I got injured in Japan, yesterday, I arrived in Sydney, tonight. Struggling with my luggage while walking to my airport hotel, these two wonderful strangers carried it for me. Huge thanks to them both.

From piña coladas to painting the town white. My kind of island time. #greekislands #cruising #azamara

@MidlandOfficial By day, I am a professional travel writer. By night, I boot-scoot around my house like a lunatic. And the line dance to Mr lonely is my absolute favourite of all. Sheer joy. 👏🏻

It was one of the highlight moments during my #expedition #voyage through Southeast #Alaska. To feel humbled in the face of fragile and fierce nature is powerfully liberating. #americanqueenvoyages @AQVoyages

I am on my very first expedition voyage, in Alaska. Every single thing I see, hear, do and learn about will be brand-new for me for the next 11 days. #Alaska #USA #expeditionvoyage #AmericanQueenVoyages @ASTWinc

@ustravelipw I particularly loved the captivating and entertaining Washington DC press conference. Elliott was just superb! And Austin thoroughly seduced me. I have loved the USA since I was a small girl This country is magnificent. 🇺🇸

[Marie Barbieri @MarieBarbieri]

And that's a Texan wrap. Our finale, at the end of our epic 5-day #IPW conference, has come to a close at The Alamo in San Antonio. And I met many a pair of cowboy boots along the way (some, with people in them!). 🤠 #ipw23 #sanantonio #texas #thealamo
