Amanda O'Connor

One of Amanda’s fondest travel moments was traveling in Africa and visiting the Cape of Good Hope, who remembers a surprise meeting with a baboon during a safari adventure while her group awaited their driver.  “I was looking out my window and a Baboon was walking on its hind legs over to our van, and in the blink of an eye the door was open, and the Baboon was sitting in the driver’s seat directly in front of me.”  As her group quickly exited the vehicle, the mischievous baboon was left to explore their belongings in search of food. Talk about up close and personal with nature.

Another memorable encounter was in Trieste, where a local chef's recommendation led to the delightful discovery of Limoncello Gelato. Cruising along the Turkish coast provided another highlight, with each morning bringing a new port to explore ancient ruins. In Istanbul, Amanda enjoyed cat spotting. “Turkish people believe cats are descendants of gods. I saw cats in shops, churches, the Grand Bazaar, but my favourite was spotting a cat lounging on a bed in a homewares shop,” she recalls.
