A Year of Adventures and New Beginnings

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

February 2026 Spotlight - Taronga Zoo, Sydney

By Jenny Revesz • February 6, 2026
Taronga Zoo is one of those places many travellers think they already “know” — but behind the iconic Sydney Harbour views lies one of Australia’s most important conservation stories. Having visited Taronga Zoo many times and being fortunate enough to stay at the Wildlife Retreat, I’ve always felt there is something truly special about its setting. Perched in one of the most iconic positions on Sydney Harbour, Taronga is just a short ferry ride from downtown Sydney yet feels worlds away. Arriving by water, with the city skyline behind you and wildlife ahead, is part of what makes the experience so memorable. Home to more than 5,000 animals, Taronga Zoo is a not-for-profit organisation with a powerful mission: protecting wildlife, supporting breeding programs for endangered species, and leading global conservation efforts. One of the most exciting developments is the planning of a new, state-of-the-art wildlife hospital, reinforcing Taronga’s long-term commitment to animal care, research, and education. What makes Taronga especially compelling for Travel Like Jenny clients is the ability to go beyond a standard zoo visit. Exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences offer rare insight into animal care, conservation programs, and the passionate people working quietly in the background to protect wildlife for future generations. For an unforgettable stay, the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga offers a unique overnight experience with wildlife views, guided walks, and a strong sustainability ethos — all just minutes from the heart of Sydney by ferry. Dining at Me-Gal completes the experience, pairing native-inspired cuisine with one of the most spectacular harbour outlooks in the city. This is Sydney with depth — where an iconic attraction becomes a meaningful, immersive experience rooted in conservation, education, and purpose. And that’s exactly why Taronga Zoo earns its place as February’s Pick of the Month.

January 2026 Spotlight - MACq 01 Hotel, Hobart – Where Every Stay Tells a Story

By Jenny Revesz • January 26, 2026
MACq 01 Hotel, Hobart – Where Every Stay Tells a Story If you’re the kind of traveller who loves staying somewhere with a true sense of place, then MACq 01 in Hobart is a hotel I absolutely love recommending. Set right on Hobart’s historic waterfront, MACq 01 is not just a beautiful place to stay — it’s a storytelling hotel. Every room is inspired by a real Tasmanian character, from explorers and artists to pioneers, entrepreneurs and change-makers. Your room key doesn’t just unlock the door; it unlocks a story. This is Tasmania done properly — thoughtful, immersive and quietly luxurious. Why I Love MACq 01 Storytelling at its heart – Each room comes with a beautifully written story about the person it represents, giving guests a deeper connection to Tasmania’s layered history. Unbeatable waterfront location – Walking distance to Salamanca Place, Battery Point, waterfront dining, markets and galleries, with easy ferry access to MONA. Stylish, contemporary comfort – Warm timber tones, floor-to-ceiling windows and harbour or mountain views create a calm, refined space. Perfect for summer travel – January is one of the best months to visit Tasmania, with long daylight hours, festivals, food and vibrant cultural life. A Stay That Goes Beyond the Room MACq 01 also excels when it comes to food and drink. The hotel’s bar and restaurant continue the storytelling theme, celebrating Tasmanian produce and local flavours — whether you’re enjoying a relaxed drink overlooking the harbour or starting your day with breakfast and views. Who This Is Perfect For Couples looking for a romantic but interesting stay Culture lovers who enjoy history, art and storytelling Travellers seeking luxury with meaning, not cookie-cutter hotels Those combining Hobart with a Tasmania self-drive or food and wine journey Travel Like Jenny Tip MACq 01 works beautifully as a 2–3 night Hobart stay, the start or finish of a Tasmania road trip, or as part of a longer Tasmanian journey. I often pair it with Bruny Island, the Tasman Peninsula, or unique lodges and experiences across the state. Thinking About Tasmania? If MACq 01 has caught your eye and you’re dreaming of Tasmania — whether for a short escape or a deeper journey — I’d love to help design something that feels personal, seamless and truly special. This is Tasmania, Travel Like Jenny style.  Button Button Button Button
