21.01.2022 CARA’S RESPONSE TO TRYING TIMES I thought I’d post as I’ve had lots of emails and messages of concern for me and how my business is fairing during these challenging times. Thank you, this really means a lot... I totally understand that many people are nervous to travel right now and Travel Agents like myself, are doing their best to help. Throughout my career Travel Agents have worked through 9/11, SARS, Swine flu, Bird flu, Mad cows disease, airline collapses, earthquakes, bombings and more. It will continue to be tough for a while but we will come out the other side okay. Aussies are travellers and we’ll all be hitting the road again soon enough. In the meantime, many airlines and suppliers are being as flexible and accommodating as they can be, remembering they all have staff to pay, who have families to feed. Many travel insurance policies don’t cover this kind of thing as these are unprecedented times. I’m still swanning around Kenya so it’s the amazing Support Team at MTA Head Office that are dealing with the brunt of it all at the moment and to these amazing people I am eternally grateful Plus I am in touch with most of my clients via email or text to try and do what I can. Go hug a Travel Agent and be glad if you booked through one - when the going gets tough, it’s good to have us on your side. Enjoy these photos of Kenya, up close and amazing. PS: Poverty and HIV are the major concerns here in Kenya, and the International media got bored with reporting this some 30 years ago.

17.01.2022 IVORY HAS NO VALUE TO HUMAN LIFE Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage These young Elephants have been orphaned for various reasons. Some are abandoned because... they become sick. Sometimes their mother will die from drought conditions. A large number of them are orphaned due to poachers.....and the poor mother loses her life due to the high market value of her tusks. Let’s put the poachers out of work by taking away the demand in the market. Let’s choose to not buy ivory.... ever. #daphnesheldrickselephantorphanage #ivoryhasnovaluetohumanlife

11.01.2022 KENYA Kenya leaves you wanting more of the hot colours, fiery sunsets, Ocean blues, sandy plains, pounding hooves, and spotted shadows. This feeling of yearning, that something is missing, is something I have not experienced before and therefore I don’t know how to describe it. ... I think the only cure is to return to this beautiful country. And one day I will

07.01.2022 I went to my local shops this morning and no one would make eye contact. Where is the Aussie spirit hiding? Behind a large stack of toilet paper? I will still hug and shake hands with anyone that is willing, I will look you in the eye and say Hi, in the Supermarket line. I will help you up if you stumble, and I will remember my upbringing, that a little human kindness goes a long way. ... The world as we know it is going crazy, and if we don’t ‘self monitor’, we will forget our humanity and become robots. A little random kindness is the best medicine of all

06.01.2022 KENYA GAME DRIVE-Ol Pejeta Conservancy a non for profit wildlife conservatory located in central Kenya's Laikipia County.

05.01.2022 Thanks MTA Head Office. Even in these really tough times, you still remembered my upcoming birthday. It really is the little things that make a huge difference.

05.01.2022 This post is for my beautiful daughter Bree, who loves all animals large and small. A few months ago she explained to me that Flamingos get their colour as a result of the pigment in the algae they eat. Flamingos love the waters of Lake Nakuru for the abundance of algae they feed on which gives these flamingos a pale pink colour. ... Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya. Near: Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge.

04.01.2022 BEING A TRAVEL AGENT DURING COVID-19 Well my industry has been the hardest hit right now, (pretty sure this statement would be undisputed), and I’ve worked through cancelled trips for many clients and still have many more in June/July. If the BAN goes into August/September, then I’ll be working through those next months, and it looks like the numbers will be similar. During these times I am reminded of a saying that goes something like this... Work like you don’t need the money, Love like you have never been hurt, And dance like no one is watching. The gist of it means, just work with integrity, remember people you loved will hurt you and don’t let them beat you down, and remember to have fun along the way. So, I guess that sums up my life right now. I do work for no financial gain / benefit. I’m a sole trader, so my family are not doing as well as we normally do. I have been treated badly by some I would not have expected this from. And all the while I remember I have an amazing and supportive partner. And I am so blessed that he gave me 2 beautiful children. These children trust that their father and I will get them through this. So we have no choice but to do this, and we will. A long-term client asked me a few days ago why I don’t just close up shop like so many of my colleagues (and no judgement here as Travel Agents are being made out to be villains right now). The question shocked me. It never even occurred to me that this was an option. Every single client I have, I have either personally met, or they have been referred to me by a trusted and valued existing client, friend or relative. To close up shop, to me, would be to betray the confidence of the person who trusted me enough to refer their friend, relative or colleague. So, call it insanity, but I will soldier on until the very last client has their application put in for a refund/credit or for whatever they are entitled to. I will argue for each client’s entitlements, even those that have not been very nice right nowbecause I don’t know what stress they may be under. In the long run, however my business ends up, at least I will know that I tried my very best. With my integrity, my heart and my soul. And if that isn’t enoughwell, I can live with this. If my advice is worth anything, I would say to each and every person on the planetApproach everything with a kind heart, and you will always be okay. All my love, and I wish you the very very best in life. Till we travel again. Cara MTA Travel Agents Note: These photos are from the amazing Kenya trip I was privileged to enjoy thanks to Debra Kruk & Richard at African Travel Specialists. We travelled with 8 other amazing Travel Agents and this trip remains a highlight in my life.

01.01.2022 Canberra: Finding Fun In Australia’s Capital City While not a lot of people know too much about Canberra, it’s a great place to visit. To give you an idea of what Canberra has on offer, this post will be exploring several of the options you have available. Parliament House:... Inheriting a mix of diplomatic processes and methods from a range of different countries, Australia’s Parliament can be very interesting. Arguments are very regular, and important issues are discussed daily. This makes Parliament House a great place to visit as a tourist. The National Gallery: Most countries will have a national gallery in their capital city, and Australia is no different. This venue is filled with artwork from across the country, along with pieces which have been gifted from other parts of the world. Not only is this a collection of paintings and artwork, but it is also a reflection of the history of Canberra and Australia. This makes it a great place for anyone who loves to learn on their vacations. Australian War Memorial: Another place for some learning, albeit a little more sombre, the War Memorial touching spot. Acting as a tool to remind Australian people of the sacrifices brave soldiers have made fighting for them, this place is filled with information about the wars they have been involved in. In addition, it can give a good insight into the people behind a conflict. Questacon: This option is a little more focused towards the kids and will be great for families to enjoy together. Questacon is a science museum which is filled with interactive exhibits for children to play with. Promoting curiosity and a passion for learning, this sort of place is a great one to try when you are on vacation, even if you’d rather stay by the pool. National Arboretum: Trees play an important role around the world. As a celebration of this and an effort to preserve Australia’s natural beauty, the National Arboretum in Canberra is a vast area of protected space, filled with interesting and unique plant life.

01.01.2022 Guy Sebastian. He was a guest at our MTA Conference 4 weeks ago. Ali Langdon (one of the Hosts for the Today Show) interviewed Guy for 40 minutes in front of a crowd of 400 of us. Guy is one of the most humble Stars you could ever meet. We loved his humour, his candid honesty and this love for his family and friends. Guy also then performed the same night at our Gala Dinner. What an amazing talent. ... Thanks Guy for your support in these tough times for our industry. So very much appreciated
