I have travelled and worked with Fiona for nearly 15 years and her professional and “can do” attitude to anything is simply refreshing. She embraces challenges (like running a marathon in Laos during a famil) and as she is a respected travel writer, her results always show a great ROI and insight into any destination

Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with Fiona who is truly one of the most professional travel writers I've had the pleasure in dealing with. I thoroughly enjoy reading her stories. During my time with [Asian airline], I had the pleasure of travelling with Fiona to Laos. Fiona secured several commissions from top media outlets which thoroughly impressed our partners & we continue to work with Fiona.

TRAVEL BOATING LIFESTYLE

Travel Boating Lifestyle, twice a finalist in the Australian Society of Travel Writers’ Awards for Excellence, is an online travel magazine to inspire and an influential travel website where I write and publish the stories that I really want to write. The ones told with personality, soul and passion. The one’s that don’t make it into conventional media because they’re too quirky, off-beat or simply good fun!

Maybe they’re just a little bit off the wall or perhaps they’re not ‘commercial’ enough to entice advertiser support. Pop over to Travel Boating Lifestyle and have a look. But before you do, slip into something comfortable (or strap on something sharp and pointy, whatever floats your boat, I don’t care), pour yourself a sassy drink, top it with an umbrella then enjoy some fun travel adventures on Travel Boating Lifestyle.
