01Indonesia travel guide
Every island, a different adventure.
I’ve spent a lot of time exploring Indonesia, from living in Bali to road tripping across Java, island hopping around Lombok and exploring the Nusa Islands. I’ve sailed through Komodo, road-tripped wild Sumba and travelled all the way to remote Rote.
Every island feels completely different, which is exactly why Indonesia is a country you keep coming back to.
02Japan travel guide
Neon cities, quiet temples and far too many snacks.
Japan is one of the most fascinating countries I’ve ever visited. In Tokyo, we explored neon-lit neighbourhoods, tiny restaurants and playful fashion, while Kyoto brought historic streets, shrines and gardens. Osaka had its own energy, especially when it came to food.
Some of my favourite moments happened beyond the big cities: waiting for the clouds to clear around Mount Fuji and wandering through the wooden post towns along the Nakasendo.
03Malaysia travel guide
Twin towers, rainbow temple steps and street food until midnight.
Kuala Lumpur is a city of contrasts. In one day you can stand under the Petronas Twin Towers, climb the rainbow steps at Batu Caves and end the night with satay and char kway teow on Jalan Alor. I went with my twin sister Cara and her little boy Noah, and then came back for more.
Plan your trip with my 4-Day Kuala Lumpur Itinerary, then find the best views in my rooftop bar guide and what to order in What to Eat in Malaysia.
04Mauritius travel guide
Beaches with actual adventure.
Mauritius is so much more than a honeymoon island. Beyond the turquoise lagoons and beautiful resorts, you’ll find mountains, waterfalls, temples, markets, hiking trails, fishing villages, incredible beaches and a culture shaped by Indian, Creole, Chinese, French and African influences.
It is one of those destinations where you can spend one day doing absolutely nothing by the water and the next hiking, chasing waterfalls or road tripping around the island.

An island built for road trips.
New Zealand’s South Island feels almost purpose-built for road trips. Snow-covered mountains, turquoise lakes, glaciers, rainforest, vineyards, wild coastline and huge stretches of empty road somehow all fit onto the same island.
Start with my New Zealand South Island Travel Guide for the complete overview, then plan your route with my 10-Day South Island Itinerary.
