Perth in a Day: Balloons, Brews, Bridges & a Bit of Everything

March 20, 2026 | Anita Shah For the longest time, I looked at Perth the way most itineraries do—as a pause rather than a place. A clean, efficient arrival point before pushing clients towards Margaret River, the outback, or the coast. It was the city you landed in, adjusted to the time zone, maybe spent […]
Perth Pour: Inside the City’s Craft Distillery Scene

March 20, 2026 | By Anita Shah The gin tasting we did in Perth was never meant to anchor a story. It sat quietly in the itinerary, positioned as a late afternoon add-on—something to do before dinner, not something to build a narrative around. But within minutes of stepping into Wandering Distillery, that assumption began […]
Why Busselton Deserves a Front Row Seat in Every Western Australia Itinerary

March 20, 2026 | By Anita Shah I’ll admit this upfront — I underestimated Busselton. Like many travel designers, I had mentally slotted it as a “pleasant coastal stop” on the way to somewhere else. A quick jetty visit, maybe a coffee, and then onward to Margaret River. Efficient. Neat. Sellable. And completely wrong. Because […]
Before the Sunrise: What Makes This Western Australia Balloon Experience Stand Out

March 19, 2026 | By Anita Shah Luxury travel often sells itself on ease. Seamless transfers, late breakfasts, unhurried mornings. But every now and then, an experience comes along that quietly challenges that idea — asking for effort first, and rewarding you later. Hot air ballooning in the countryside around Perth is exactly that. This […]

For Indian travel designers curating journeys through Western Australia, especially around Busselton and the Margaret […]
Margaret River: The Essential Wine Day Trip from Perth

March 19, 2026 | By Anita Shah “Let’s just do one winery and head back,” we said.Cut to: three tastings later, a perfectly paired lunch, chocolate in hand, vineyard views all around—and absolutely no intention of leaving anytime soon. Welcome to Margaret River—the kind of destination that starts off as a “quick add-on” to a […]
Rottnest Island Guide: Where to Eat, Stay and Explore on Australia’s Happiest Island

March 16, 2026 | By Anita Shah For travel designers building itineraries around Perth, Rottnest Island is often positioned as a simple day excursion. In reality, the island functions as a compact destination in its own right — combining wildlife, soft adventure, cycling infrastructure, and boutique accommodation within a short ferry ride from the mainland. […]
Perth’s Other Open-Air Gallery: Exploring the City’s Street Art and Public Installations

March 15, 2026 | By Anita Shah On the last day of my Western Australia trip, I decided to do something I rarely plan for in advance — simply walk around the city and breathe a little more of Perth in before flying out. No agenda, no “must-see” list. Just time to wander through the […]
Why Indian Travellers Should Visit Baku in 2026: Luxury, Adventure & Culture

March 13, 2026 | By Anita Shah I didn’t know what to expect when we landed in Baku. Part of me thought: “It’s a city on the Caspian Sea, some history, maybe a few skyscrapers, nice hotel.” Wrong. This city, perched where Europe kisses Central Asia, is a full-blown sensory adventure. Within a few days, […]
