ABOUT
Hi! Welcome to my Thatch guides!
I am a solo traveller based on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I have been traveling solo for about 25 years (not bad for someone in their early 40s). I love exploring new places and spending on experiences, not things.
Before I found Thatch, I would create Google Maps for each location I was visiting. While this served me well, it has nothing on Thatch. I love being able to set up itineraries for myself and others to simplify the travel experience.
What will you find in my Thatch guides?
* Easy-to-follow itineraries that will help you explore new places
* Recommendations for activities and experiences
* Some restaurant recommendations
* Accommodation options at varying budget levels
* Links to my travel Instagram for reels and more information
Services I offer:
