KIRSTYN'S TOP TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

• 3 month overland trip through Africa from Kenya to South Africa in 2008 is definitely top of my list!
• Italy in Depth - from the bustling ancient city of Rome, Iconic Venice, Beautiful Florence but the highlights are definitely the Amalfi Coast & Cinque Terre. Incredible Food!
• Vietnam - I love the hustle and bustle of life in Asia but something about Vietnam warms my heart. The people are just beautiful and I love the flavours (Yes Food!). Hoi An is my favourite place to visit.

RENEE'S TOP THREE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

• Wilson Island would have to be top of my list. I stayed here for my honeymoon and it is an adult-only, romantic, private hideaway just off the coast of Gladstone surrounded by the great barrier reef, one of the wonders of the world. All inclusive, stand up paddle boarding with turtles, hearing the coral clink as the waves crash; it’s a must for that holiday you wish to disconnect from the world & connect with yourself and your loved one.
• Singapore  - this destination has so much to offer (read my blog), I cannot wait to return back
• Fiji – I am all about the beaches so anywhere with water has my vote. The people are just so beautiful and island life is just so relaxing.
