I was fortunate enough to spend a month in Jordan and Egypt in April with my sister.

In late March we set off on our Escorted Tour ‘Road to Gallipoli’ which was simply fantastic. Desert, sea, sand, green fields, ruins, mountains, monuments and moments we will never forget.

In December I was lucky enough to travel with St Patrick’s College Ballarat on their USA Basketball Tour. The 2 week tour saw 28 year 9, 10 & 11 students and 6 staff and parents take in the sights of Washington DC, Durham, Raleigh, Ashville and Charlotte in North Carolina and a final stop in Anaheim & Los Angeles.

During the recent Christmas holiday period I spent 7 weeks travelling around Europe with my family. It was so beautiful seeing the magical Christmas markets and with the smells of spices and ginger bread throughout the air.
