A bit of a delayed post about a week which happened a couple of weeks ago when we rented a Jucy van and drove down to Byron and up the Sunshine coast to Noosa living in our little van. A bit late perhaps but it was an absolutely fabulous experience that I’d like to share …
Tooth issues kind of took centre stage over a lot of the past week. It started on Wednesday evening, the night we got back from driving around Byron and the Gold Coast in a rented Jucy van (which was utterly fabulous). My head hurt, I was feverish, my cheek swollen – hello tooth infection. My …
Coming to Brisbane was more of a logistical decision than a conscious choice. Gayle was doing some networking at a festival close-by and the crew was all flying to Brisbane so I thought, why not?

Corinthia Hotels head office has been my work home for almost five years now and it’s been such a journey. I’ve learnt so much about hospitality, giving a top notch service, booking systems, brand guidelines and enforcing them, online and offline campaigns and so much more. It’s a little mind blowing to think about the …
