When on the Garden Route, visit Knysna and do the tour with Featherbed Co. The views are exceptional! @adventureworld.bsky.social #southafricaawaits #visitknysna

The Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is always a huge challenge and this year it is stressful as my husband and son are doing it. It’s been a bash and crash race into a headwind and big swells. 33 boats have retired but Veloce is still going strong. #sydneytohobart #cyca #yachtracing #italiayachts

This is what relaxation and rejuvenation look like at Escape Haven in Bali. This women’s wellness retreat is remarkable. #wellness #health #selfcare #travel #bali

Horrific mass shooting at Bondi Beach. A terrorist attack. Happening now.

Next year I will do more lap swimming. I find it so therapeutic. Who else loves it? #swimming #lapswimming #waterbaby

Life lately in Sydney! Naming of Aurora expedition’s new ship - Douglas Mawson, Christmas cruise on the harbour and Veloce, gearing up the Sydney to Hobart yacht race #sydneysummer #travel #auroraexpeditions

How’s this for a Sydney sunset! #sydney #sunset #feelnsw

Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia always delivers. Such a wonderful place for a family ski holiday! #sunpeaks #skiholiday #explorebc

Stay on the ship. Don’t get off.

Trump and Vance ATTACK Zelenskyy in Oval Office and Align U.S. with PUTIN YouTube video by The Lincoln Project
