Travel for cultural understanding, reviving my Blog....

I am not suggesting that we go to a war zone and begin to sing we are the world. I am suggesting that  travel is a great educator and wonderful way to bring people together. 

When I first started a travel company (now closed) I had visions of bringing people together and helping them explore the world... What I now know is there is so much more to the job.. I made the decision to close the "travel agency" down almost 4 years ago... The stress and factors that are out of the Travel Agents control were (for me) measured higher on the chart then the joy of seeing someone enjoy a new destination... 

For a while, I have put travel writing and my belief in the benefit of travel on the shelf.. Trip Advisor continues to post my reviews of locations and restaurants.. which is wonderful... and it is now time for me to pick up my walking stick and begin to blog again... 

My commitment is one post a week... maybe every two weeks... My first new post will be on Monday, April 28th, 2014.

I will be highlighting various locations, best ways to really see the world and sharing articles written (with credit given) about cities, near and far...

Qantas Air Strike and Surfing Australia

This is an info note for today...
With the summer holidays coming in Australia.. the more adventurous are wanting to surf.. so beyond the Great Barrier Reef
Rain Forrest's and more.. we also have surfing.. I still recommend the East coast. you can go from Sydney to Cairns and fly to Darwin and Ayers Rock.. 

but for now here are the surf spots

Here are the top 6 surf spots in Australia...

Please note if you already have flights on Qantas or AA. (codeshare) Qantas is looking at striking the 26th with it going into effect on the 28th of October.. so if you are planning to go soon. Please contact your travel agent. (another reason to book thru an expert) and clarify your plans and what to do if they strike.
