I flew into Phuket in October 2018 for my first trip to Thailand, staying for 2 weeks at the Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort. I had some concerns about the weather as it was the end of the wet season but I was incredibly lucky, although there were a lot of storms, every day I'd planned to be travelling was perfect! 1) Phuket Elephant Park & Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Although I wanted to see elephants in Thailand I wanted to make sure I was supporting elephant friendly organisations.

I was captivated by the landscape, the vibrancy of the culture and the passion of the local guides for their local areas. Travelling with two friends over 3.5 weeks April/May 2017 we were fortunate that there were less

I stayed at the Ramada Resort Dunsborough in the Margaret River region on my first trip to Western Australia, which I hope will only be the first of many.
