Hey, I'm Paton!

................

Wife, mother of two beautiful girls and lover of all things travel, community, business and motherhood.  

I've had the absolute privilege of visiting over 15 countries and planning hundreds of trips, but my greatest journey has been becoming a mother to my two daughters, who keep my heart and hands full. 

Nowadays, travelling looks a little different with strollers and portacots in tow - but this doesn't stop me from exploring our beautiful world and the desire to share these experiences with you.

Howdy, I'm Ash!

................

Award winning social innovation expert, wife, not-for-profit founder and cat mum. Passionate about making a difference in the world. 

I’m a serial entrepreneur by nature - with one successful startup under my belt and a role in government innovation that keeps my curiosity piqued. 

With over 35 countries visited, I am excited to share insider tips, tricks and travel practises I have picked up along the way - everything I still use now to plan epic, high-value getaways.

But not every trip goes to plan. We’ve been there when things went wrong. When flights were delayed, when medical emergencies popped up, and when travellers found themselves stuck in places they’d never imagined with no way home. Those experiences taught us valuable lessons – not just about travel, but about resilience, problem-solving, and the power of preparation.

Now, we’re on a mission to help you navigate your own travel journeys with the same knowledge and confidence we’ve gained over the past 10 years.

We’ve poured everything we’ve learned into creating easy-to-use tools, guides, and resources that will take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on the excitement of the adventure ahead.
