16.01.2022 It's time for "Where Will We Go Wednesday" This week we are heading to Egypt Nearly 5,000 years ago, outside the ancient city of Memphis, Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for their kings. These monuments are still standing today in the city of Giza.... Egyptologists and archaeologists have been studying the Pyramids for centuries, yet much of their history is still unknown. Today you can visit these awe inspiring pyramids from your lounge room! With walking routes around the site, the virtual tour below shows the magnificent structures from near and far. This includes two of the largest pyramids ever built the Great Pyramid (147 metres) and the Pyramid of Khafre (136 metres) plus the Great Sphinx to the east. Have you been to Egypt? Have you seen the pyramids up close - one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? #egypt #pyramids #giza #cairo #armchairtravel #isolationinspiration #wherewillwegowednesday

I travelled from Anchorage up to Fairbanks via Denali National Park before heading back south to Seward to embark on a cruise down the coastline taking in some wonderful towns & villages - some of which are only accessible by water or air!

02.01.2022 It's time for "Where Will We Go Wednesday" This week we are heading to Monaco - the tiny principality on the French Riviera. Monaco is actually smaller than Central Park in NYC and you can walk from one side to the other in less than an hour! ... Monaco has been ruled by the Grimaldi family for over 700 years. The residents of Monaco (less than 10,000) do not pay tax and are not allowed to gamble, or even visit the casino. The elegant façade and panache interiors of the Monte-Carlo Casino has been a filming location of three James Bond Films: Casino Royale, GoldenEye, and Never Say Never Again. There is no airport in Monaco - however you can arrive by train, yacht or helicopter. In fact, during peak times, a helicopter lands every 20 minutes at Monaco's heliport! This was the way we departed Monaco to take the short 8 min flight to Nice Airport during our honeymoon in February - and it was truly the highlight of our trip!! #monaco #visitmonaco #monacomissyou #armchairtravel #isolationinspiration #wherewillwegowednesday

01.01.2022 You may have noticed we pressed pause on our MTA monthly travel deals for a while. But we’ve been busy working with our valued suppliers and have come up with our ‘Revive Collection’ to spectacular destinations across Australia, and also to New Zealand in anticipation of a Trans Tasman travel bubble. I was so happy to make 2 new bookings recently for clients after months of cancellations - one heading to Cairns in August and the other heading to the Whitsundays in September -... so domestic travel is certainly the focus for the months ahead and with so many wonderful destinations in this country, I have some great deals you might want to check out... If you’re after some winter sun - how about the beautiful Palm Bay in the Whitsundays - stay 5 nights and only pay for 4? Maybe thrill-seeking is your thing? Meet the Great White Sharks and swim with sea lions on our South Australian Ultimate Underwater Adventure. Or treat yourself to some luxury on our Kimberley Cruise package onboard Silver Explorer - 15 nights from $13,355 per person. Click here for this month's travel deals - all valid for travel later this year or in 2021 - http://agents.mtatravel.com.au/myoung/deals If you’re in need of a getaway - contact me today, I’d love to help you bring your travel dreams to life (even if we’re limited to domestic travel right now and hopefully a Trans Tasman bubble very soon)!

01.01.2022 It's time for "Where Will We Go Wednesday" This week we are heading to Norfolk Island. Just a 2.5 hour flight from Sydney or Brisbane, Norfolk Island is filled with history, culture & adventure. A World Heritage site, a great golf course, local food and wine are just some reasons why Celebrity Comedian Urzila Carlson loves Norfolk Island. Check out her video below ... You can also check out the Destination Brochure here for more information: https://issuu.com/nirc3/docs/nit_brochure_20_final_out_150/7 My very first work trip as a travel agent was to Norfolk Island! We literally flew in Saturday morning and flew home Sunday afternoon but we crammed a lot in and it certainly dispelled the myth for me that Norfolk Island was a boring destination exclusively for lawn bowling groups Note - Norfolk Island is currently restricting entry from residents of VIC, NSW & ACT. An entry pass is required for those travelling from other states and they must not stay overnight if transiting through Sydney en route. #norfolksisland #visitnorfolkisland #australia #urzila #holidayherethisyear #armchairtravel #isolationinspiration #wherewillwegowednesday
