Journeys Shared - reflections & stories
Every journey tells a story.
Here, our travellers share the moments that stayed with them — the quiet surprises, the breathtaking views and the memories that shaped their time away.
These reflections, photos and heartfelt notes offer a glimpse into the experiences we’ve had the privilege to design.
Train St - Hanoi - Vietnam
Iconic!
Cafes, bars, fooderies line both sides of the street. Walk up & down the train track & find your spot to sit eat & drink in the calm before the hectic.
With only a couple of minutes to spare, the entire street is quickly prepared for the incoming train. Store staff franticly usher patrons & walkers to take a seat at a safe distance from the track... then the train horn sounds making it's way through. Reach out (carefully) & you can touch the train as it rattles on through. Exhilerating albeit somewhat dangerous... yet fun. So much so we had to live the experience by day & at night.
Trinity Point - Lake Macquarie, NSW - Australia
Celebration of a mile-stone birthday with a bottomless brunch on a 48' yacht. Champaigne sailing with a wonderful group of friends.
The crew are friendly, welcoming & make you all feel very special.
Such a relaxing & beautiful part of Australia.
Leaning Tower of Pisa - Piazza dei Miracoli, Pisa - Italy
At 8 years of age, why try hold up the leaning tower like every other tourist... let's push it over!
Thankfully it still stands strong.
Pick pockets are always around this amazing landmark, so beware, be diligent. A wonderful educational experience for a young budding traveller.
The Parcels - Silverton, Outback NSW - Australia
Right place! Right time! - Unscripted.
During a family road trip through Outback New South Wales, we made an unplanned lunch stop at the Silverton Hotel. As we drove into town, we stumbled upon the filming of a music video for the band The Parcels. After wrapping for the day, they played live through lunch — an unexpected treat and a fantastic, spontaneous experience.
Bullimah Beach, Central Coast, NSW - Australia
A special Father-Son moment on a small quiet secluded sandy beach in Bouddi National Park - wandering together, discovering the shoreline and pausing to see who could build the tallest rock tower. Simple, playful and unforgettable.
The Outrigger - Coral Coast - Fiji
We were completely spellbound watching this local village choir perform. Their traditional songs, dances, and breathtaking harmonies gave us instant goosebumps! It was such a delight to experience firsthand the warm, beautiful culture of these welcoming people.
