🇻🇳 VIETNAM 2026 IS ALMOST SOLD OUT! 🇻🇳

Wow. We haven't even officially pushed this trip hard yet and we've already sold 11 spots! 🤯

At this rate, we may not even get the chance to increase the price because places are disappearing so quickly.

If you've been dreaming of exploring Vietnam, this is your sign.

Imagine wandering the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, cruising through breathtaking landscapes, tasting incredible Vietnamese street food, discovering hidden local gems, making lifelong friends, and experiencing the magic of Vietnam alongside an amazing small group of travellers.

This is shaping up to be our biggest and best small group tour yet, and I'd genuinely love for you to be part of it.

Whether you're travelling solo, with a friend, or simply looking for your next unforgettable adventure, this trip has been designed to show you the very best of Vietnam while creating memories you'll talk about for years.

🇻🇳 Small group travel 🇻🇳 Authentic Vietnam experiences 🇻🇳 Incredible food 🇻🇳 Stunning scenery 🇻🇳 Local culture 🇻🇳 New friendships 🇻🇳 Stress-free travel

There are now only a handful of places remaining.

If Vietnam has been sitting on your travel bucket list, don't wait too long. This one is moving fast.

BREAKING: Standing up on a plane just got expensive 😅💸 Turkish Airlines ain’t playing!

🚨 NEW TURKISH AIRLINES RULES ALERT 🚨
Think twice before unbuckling early! @turkishairlines now enforces strict rules:
Stay seated until the seatbelt sign is OFF
No rushing to the front before it’s your row’s turn

Break the rules? You’ll cop a 2,603 TL fine — that’s around $70 USD for standing up too soon. Yep, your “quick exit” could cost more than your flight!

So sit back, relax… and don’t let your impatience drain your travel budget! taken in Istanbul Airport by @explorewitherin

Charcoal chicken, but make it fancy. 🍗

Larry’s is NOT your usual charcoal chicken shop. Think elevated plates, seriously good flavours, and the kind of menu where ordering just one thing feels like a crime.

Please order the cauliflower... And the Manti... And the chicken .. Heck, get it all!

WAIT. Before you go to the Kings Park drone show… READ THIS. 👀

Because apparently you can turn up, find a beautiful spot, sit down… and then spend the entire show staring at TREES. 😂

I’ve got 3 tips for Moortabiny that will save you from making the same mistake:

1️⃣ Don’t bother rushing in at 6:30pm. There’s a queue and the main show doesn’t start until around 8pm. Take your time.

2️⃣ But DO arrive early enough to grab a spot, set up a picnic and enjoy the evening. Bring your own food or hit the food trucks.

3️⃣ THE SPOT MATTERS. Get as close to the lake as possible, then turn RIGHT towards the roped-off area.
That’s where you want to be looking.

❌ Not at the lake. ❌ Not back up the hill near the food trucks. 🌳 Unless you’re particularly excited about watching trees instead of drones.

Then sit back and watch the sky light up with Noongar storytelling, immersive soundscapes and an aerial drone display featuring… wait for it… a KANGAROO PAW. 🦘🌸

Honestly… Perth knows how to put on a show.

📍 Moortabiny, Kings Park
📅 2–4 October 2026
⏰ 7pm–8:30pm

SAVE THIS if you’re going this weekend. Your future self will thank you. taken in Kings Park and Botanic Garden by @explorewitherin

Travel does something to your brain that everyday life just can’t.
And after 83 countries, I’m still completely addicted to that feeling. Swipe to see why you are too.

When life starts feeling a little too same-same, book the trip.

Your brain might be begging for something new.

Psychologists found that adapting to unfamiliar cultures can boost creativity.
So yes, I’m officially calling travel brain training. 😂

New streets, new languages, new customs.
Your brain switches back on because suddenly it has to pay attention.

Feeling stuck? Go somewhere new.
Sometimes the best reset comes with a boarding pass.

Thanks for the confirmation @drcarolineleaf

THIS IS ME… FINALLY SEEING COME ALIVE! 🎪

My daughter got to see COME ALIVE! The Greatest Showman Circus Spectacular when it first arrived in Perth, and I had been waiting for my turn.

Well… I finally saw it this weekend thanks to $55 Rush tickets! 🙌 Do you know about these?

If The Greatest Showman is your kind of soundtrack, you’re going to recognise the music instantly. 🎶 This Is Me, A Million Dreams, Rewrite the Stars and more, brought to life with incredible acrobatics, aerial acts and circus performances.

Just don’t go expecting The Greatest Showman storyline. This is a circus spectacular inspired by the music, with the performers taking centre stage.

📍 The Hippodrome at Crown Theatre Perth
📅 Playing until 10 October 2026

And a handy Perth tip. Parking Lot B at Crown Perth is free, and it’s only around an 8-minute walk to the Hippodrome.

So yes, you still have time to @comealiveaus before it leaves Perth! 🎟️

I flew halfway around the world chasing the flavours of the Silk Road… then found it back home in Perth.

And honestly, I did NOT expect Vic Park to deliver this hard.

After exploring Central Asia and eating my way through its incredible cuisine, I’m telling you. Silk Roads Uyghur Cuisine is bringing seriously authentic Uyghur food straight to Perth.

🍜 Hand-pulled noodles, made right there on site
🥩 Meat platters that had me questioning why I ever share food
🧀 KUNAFE. That cheese pull deserves its own passport.

The flavours, the textures and the whole experience had me transported straight back to Central Asia. And the best part? No jet lag required.

If you’re searching for Uyghur food in Perth, Central Asian cuisine, Silk Road food, hand-pulled noodles or Vic Park restaurants, SAVE THIS ONE.
