A Year of Adventures and New Beginnings


As 2025 starts, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences and adventures that have made 2024 so memorable. It's been a year of new beginnings, personal growth, and, of course, plenty of adventure—just the way I like it!

The year began with a wonderful trip to London and the Cotswolds in January, where I had the chance to soak in the beauty of the English countryside and the vibrant city life. It was the perfect way to kick off the year and set the tone for all the adventures that followed.


I also took up a new hobby this year—pickleball! I roped Ian into playing, and to our surprise, we’re both thoroughly enjoying it. It's become a fun way to stay active, and I think we’ll be playing for many years to come.

Marley, our spirited Duck Tolling Retriever, and I have been busy with agility competitions. I’m proud to say that we're doing really well! Her energy and drive continue to impress me, and it’s been such a joy seeing her excel in these challenges.

In September, I had the opportunity to test out the HX Fritjold Nansen on a short trip to Seattle. It was the perfect way to experience the ship firsthand and ensure it’s just as incredible as I want it to be for my clients. The experience was nothing short of amazing, and I can’t wait to share more about it.


One of the highlights of my year was my trip to Morocco in November with Exodus Adventures. The landscapes, culture, and people left a lasting impression on me, and it was an unforgettable experience. When I wasn’t traveling, I spent time outdoors in our zodiac, hiking, mountain biking, and tending to the garden. Nature has truly been a grounding force for me this year.

Of course, amidst all these personal adventures, I’ve been working hard to craft the most exciting journeys for my clients. Helping you plan your next adventure brings me so much joy, and I can’t wait to see what new horizons we’ll explore together in the year ahead.

As we approach the holiday season, I just want to express my deep gratitude for your trust and support throughout the year. It’s been a pleasure being part of your adventures, and I look forward to all the exciting ones to come.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful start to 2025, filled with health, happiness, and incredible experiences.


Warmest wishes,

Jenny

Tanzania: A Journey I’ll Never Forget

By Jenny Revesz • September 7, 2025
In August I had the absolute privilege of escorting a wonderful group through Tanzania — and what a trip it was! From Tarangire to the Ngorongoro Crater and then up to the Serengeti for the Great Migration, every single day gave us moments I’ll carry with me forever. Tarangire welcomed us with its beautiful baobab trees and wide-open landscapes, and right away we were spoiled with incredible wildlife. A real highlight was spotting a cheetah with her three little cubs — such a special sight. At Craters Edge, the magic didn’t stop. One night we had an elephant wander right through camp! Waking up and realizing just how close we were to these giants of Africa was equal parts thrilling and humbling. Then came the Serengeti — and what timing. We were there to witness the largest river crossing of the year in Kogatende. To stand there, watching thousands of wildebeest plunge into the river, knowing that every calf has its own call so it can find its mother again if they’re separated — it was emotional, powerful, and something none of us will ever forget. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, our final sundowner turned into one last surprise: the wildebeest migration came thundering right past us. Pure magic. But it wasn’t only about the wildlife. Our walking safari, with the rangers and guides keeping us safe, gave us such a different perspective of the bush. And the warmth of the camp staff — singing to us, caring for us, making us feel part of their family — left us all a little teary when it was time to say goodbye. For me, the very best part was watching my clients live these moments for themselves — their excitement, their laughter, and the way they completely embraced the adventure. Seeing them fall in love with Tanzania made my heart so full. This trip was everything I hoped it would be and more. I’m already counting down until I can return.

A Night on Heron Island – Exactly the Escape I Imagined

By Jenny Revesz • August 25, 2025
A Night on Heron Island – Exactly the Escape I Imagined I spent one night this year on Heron Island, flying in by helicopter and living exactly the kind of island escape I’d pictured. The 30-minute flight from Gladstone was incredible. From above, we saw reef patterns, turtles and rays in the blue, and landed on the helipad. It was special, quick, and everything I hoped for. Stepping off the helicopter, the air smelled fresh and the Pisonia forest framed the island perfectly. This tiny coral cay—just about 800 m long and 16 ha in total —is actually part of a protected National Marine Park. It’s wild, beautiful, and felt like a completely different world. My room was simple—no AC, just a fan—and a little rustic, but in the best way. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the staff had that warm island friendliness I love. No fuss, just genuine service (and no Wi Fi unless you opt in)—perfect for unplugging. Dinner that night? Better than I expected—not just edible, but excellent. Fresh seafood, thoughtful flavours, and enough variety considering there’s only one resort restaurant. Breakfast was solid too: buffet plus tasty extras and good coffee. No fine dining fuss, just genuinely good food when I sank into that island calm Heron Island is a major turtle nesting ground. Green and Loggerhead turtles come ashore from about November to March to nest, and baby hatchlings emerge between January and May. Guests are encouraged to join naturalist-led turtle walks at dusk or dawn. Snorkelling right from the beach, I swam among tropical fish, rays, reef sharks, and turtles cruising near the reef edge. Heron Island supports nearly 900 fish species and over 70% of the coral species of the Great Barrier Reef. There’s so much life—it felt like swimming through a living aquarium. Watching the sunset over the reef with a drink in hand at Baillie’s Bar was simple bliss. As night settled, the island went silent—no screens, no noise, just nature. Birds roosting, forest sounds, maybe a turtle coming ashore. It was exactly the unplugged reset I needed. All photos courtesy of heronisland.com
