My passion for travel began when I moved abroad to Spain at 19. Since then I’ve particularly enjoyed my travels through South East Asia and Australasia. I’ve been lucky enough to call Australia and New Zealand home, living there for 4.5 years in various places. Among the many highlights of that time was my stay in the Outback in Australia and living on an island nature reserve. My favourite things about travelling are meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and eating my way around the world. I believe you have not experienced a country until you’ve had their food. I also love nature so I’m totally at home climbing a peak or exploring a national park. I also love diving even if I can only doggy paddle! It’s awesome seeing wildlife underwater and living my Ariel fantasy.
Best Destination for Families
Western Australia
Western Australia would be amazing as you've got Rottnest Island which has beaches and wildlife, camels in Broome, tree top adventures and swimming holes in national parks.
On my bucket list
Borneo
I'd love to travel to Borneo. It was a cancelled COVID plan that I've not managed to get back around to exploring. I loved Malaysia and Indonesia, so Borneo with its wildlife, cuisine and forests are all up my street. Seeing orangutans in the wild is also a dream of mine.

Of all the trips we showcase on our website, this one hits most of my travel 'must haves': Food, hiking, beaches, local villages and traditions. Having visited most of the places in this itinerary I feel it gives a perfect taste of Indonesia.
My favourite hotel
Shangri-La Tokyo
Shangri-La Tokyo feels like a peaceful haven amongst the busy Tokyo sidewalks.
Jacada did a great job planning our Honeymoon. After wedding planning, it was great to go on a trip that had it all planned and we did not have to worry; it helped decrease stress that usually comes with travel. Our guides were amazing - we loved the individualized tours and not being in a large group.
Everything well planned and executed from start to finish. The tours and guides were amazing, accommodations first rate, and everything was smooth and seamless. Extra shout out to our driver Raju, our guide Aman in Varanasi and also to Uttam Singh Rathore - the manager for Banyan Tours in Jaipur. When our flight to Udaipur was circled back to Jaipur…
We just returned from a 2 week trip to India and Cambodia designed by Jacada Travel. The whole trip was absolutely fabulous and probably the best we have had amongst all our many other travels to 50+ countries. Our travel consultant, David, and coordinator, Gita, were super helpful and custom built our itineraries with numerous revisions for both countries to…
Jacada came through in putting together the vacation of a lifetime. There was no detail that was looked over. Every accommodation, activity, meal, transport... all of it was planned perfectly and exactly to our liking and personal style of travel. Expensive, yes, but actually worth every penny and then some. Can't recommend highly enough.
My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in New Zealand. We had an unbelievable experience with Jacada! They knew amazing places to stay and provided every bit of assistance along the way. We were so happy we didn’t plan this trip alone. We really enjoyed the simple planning process which made us feel like our desires were taken into consideration.
