My first ever dive was a discovery dive on the Great Barrier Reef, celebrating my 40th birthday 12 years ago. I was equal parts nervous and excited, but the moment I dipped beneath the surface, I was hooked. Fast forward to today, and I’m now a fully qualified diver with over 100 dives under my … Read more

Right now, I’m calling Brisbane home, but as a Brit married to an Aussie, I’ve had the joy of exploring so much of this incredible country.

I love the Sunshine Coast. In fact my husband and I had a secret wedding ceremony in 2018 on a beautiful beach called First Bay, not too far from the beautiful Noosa Heads.
