A Week at The Coral Sea Resort & Casino, Honiara, Solomon Islands
What is the Coral Sea Resort & Casino Really like and what can you do Around Honiara? For my birthday in 2019, I jetted off to Honiara and I cannot even begin to express how much fun it was. This was the second time Justin and I were able to see each other in person. Having been to the Solomon Islands in December, I barely got a chance to see much of Honiara and knew I wanted to explore more. From April 4th to 11th, I was fortunate enough to stay at the Coral Sea Resort & Casino in one of their luxury waterfront villas which were amazing! Getting There Honiara…

Solomon Islands Discovery Cruises (Where We Met)
Solomon Islands Discovery Cruises: Give Your Family a Taste of the Solomons At the end of 2018, I went on the most amazing trip of my life to a place everyone questioned both before I left and since I’ve been home, the Solomon Islands. This is one trip I think everyone should take. Imagine pristine islands, amazing culture, wonderful experiences and a tropical paradise which hasn’t been commercialised or overrun with tourists. It’s unique, friendly, happy, full of adventure and relaxing all at the same time. In 2018, I took a massive step back from everything I do and took the time to re-evaluate all aspects of my life. Interestingly…

Balancing Heart Vineyard (Winery), Stanthorpe QLD – Review
Balancing Heart Vineyard Review: a gorgeous, family-friendly winery in Stanthorpe, Queensland Recently, we had a few days visiting friends in Stanthorpe. One of the things I enjoy doing is seeing wineries in areas we visit and Stanthorpe has plenty. Balancing Heart Vineyard was one of the ones we visited and thoroughly enjoyed.

How we Handle Racism, Cultural Diversity, Financial Independence and our Pasts
In our family we have 5 cultures but we are also spread between countries ranging from least developed to developed/affluent. Being an interracial step family, we get a lot of stares, comments and different treatment. We also have different expectations around culture, finances, traditions, family, everything. As a result, we have to be extremely open with our communication with each other and others. It also means we need to be open-minded, understanding and approach everything with love. I’ve done a few interviews recently covering my past of going from homeless single mother because of domestic violence to CEO. Child custody, blending our family, the travel between the countries, cultural differences…

How We Met – Justin Saula and Kylie Travers
How did a Man from Vanuatu, Living in the Solomon Islands and a Single Mum from Australia meet? Kylie Travers is the one writing this and I can honestly say, I had sworn off men completely, then I met Justin. You can ask my family, they were all in shock. We met in 2018 when I had a last-minute trip to the Solomon Islands as a travel writer. Originally, I was going to head over in 2019 then a spot came up with this specific trip and I said yes, despite not knowing how I could make it work. I was a single mother with two daughters, in the middle…

How To Travel With Kids
5 Tips For Travelling With Kids My daughters and I have travelled a fair bit since they were born. We have had issues at times with motion sickness, not being able to travel overseas and other things. Overall, travel for us appears to have been easier than for many I know. Here are my tips. 1. Keep Them Entertained As obvious as this sounds, it is necessary but it is not totally your responsibility. My daughters know they need to entertain themselves. As such, they have their iPads and sometimes do schoolwork. Each daughter has a mini LEGO kit we created out of their own LEGO and a plastic container…
