6PR Perth is a commercial talkback radio station and I’m regularly invited to share my travel experiences, including a recent review of TransNusa Airlines and European entry requirements.

On Perth’s best talkback radio station, 6PR, I recently discussed with my fine friend and colleague Chrissy Morrissy some options for luxury abroad; the magnificent Apurva Kempinski in Bali and the distinguished Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur. A bit closer to home I spoke about day trips through the Avon Valley, from bakeries to canola crops, from

Have A Go News newspaper recently published my list of the Top Ten No Tech Travel Accessories that you should have on every trip. They’re also all lightweight and easy to store. Aquatabs are as close as I get to panic prep packing but because they are easy to tuck in your toiletries bag with other medications they’re

My story about Tom’s experience with Cathay Pacific was recently published by Airline Ratings. Enjoy reading all about Tom’s experience with Cathay Pacific here.
