Happy cow.net. is a great resource for anyone who is interested in finding
healthy places to eat pretty much anywhere in the world.
It is simple to use…just type in the city you are visiting and up comes a list of recommendations.
Along with a google map, reviews in most cases and the menu. Another feature is you can stipulate the distance from your location so that you don’t get some an endless long list to wade through.
Now there is much more to the “happycow” you also have a heap of recipes which can be downloaded so there’s no need to travel enjoying lovely food.
You could of course always use happycow in you own city to experience how useful it may be when you travel.
If you have similar sites that you think other travellers should know about then please comment below or email me and I will review them…that way we can all enjoy even better travel experiences.
Her’s to your travel exceeding the highest expectations.

What may not be clear is just how incredible Kelly has been for her clients as a Expert Travel Planner second to none.
10 years ago this month Kelly joined Jetset Albany as a consultant. Little did we realise that Kelly would not only travel the world to many exciting and rewarding destinations but she would develop into one of Australia’s premium travel planners.
Kelly’s awards list include Jetset consultant of the year for 2007,2008,2009,2010. National consultant of the year for Jetset 2008, 2009 and an Avis scholarship finalist 2010.
While the awards say one thing about Kelly what can’t be fully demonstrated in a video is the PASSION and COMMITMENT Kelly’s clients all feel every-time they seek her input to their travel.
Just last week a client wrote to me a two page thank you for the way Kelly made her feel about her travel.
Let me share just a small part of that letter: “She has an open, friendly manner and a really lovely personality. She obviously has a gift for making her clients feel ‘special’. I felt as though I was her ONLY client and the only person she cared about.”
Nilla and I have very proud and have enjoyed her journey to where she is now…we just wanted to share our joy with you.
Please feel free to pass on any comments and or contact Kelly on her email kelly@travelwithjetset.com
Thank you for allowing me to share my excitement and joy.
Camilla Minge Strand experienced a Nepal holiday recently that clearly shows you don’t have to be an adventure travel enthusiast to enjoy Nepal.
Recently Nilla and I were in Peru where we meet up with a beautiful lady called Camilla.
During one of our conversations Camilla shared her Nepal Holiday experience.
Camilla was very fortunate to take some extraordinary photo’s of Eagles.
She claimed the photos was good enough for National Geographic, now you can be the judge.
I asked if she would mind sharing a couple with you…along with how she was feeling at the time.
Camilla has generously shared her travel experience from Nepal with us.
Namaste
In the Right Place At The Right Time.
At an early age I started searching for important answers in my life.
The older I got, the more impatient I got by finding more questions than answers.
Even when hitting some dead end tracks I was able to learn and boost my self-confidence and gain greater trust in my abilities.
A few times I had looked for places to learn meditation, read books, and followed it’s “Easy step by step” CDs, only to find a noisy mind and loose the feeling of my legs.
My spiritual journey took me to Nepal.
It was a masterfully planned trip to connect, elevate and energize us in order to better function on heights up to 5500 m.
Perhaps you can relate as I am constantly finding more people like myself or more I find myself more like others.
I was totally unprepared for Kathmandu city.
I would describe this city as having brought Mumbai up in the mountains.
The dirt, the cold, the barely clothed children made me sad and homesick.
I saw a lot of desperation OM was sold and not a part of peoples lives.
This was the Nepal I had come to see! In every room at the resort there was panoramic windows, which allowed you to follow the light moving over the chain of mountaintops.
Even though I was visiting during wintertime and it was freezing cold I could not justify eating any of my meals indoors.
My Olympus and I sat on the balcony spying for a good shot.
Every minute the landscape looked different pending on where the landscape got lit up by the sun or shaded by the clouds.
It was so beautiful.
There was a group of three to four eagles that were gliding fairly close, while 30 something was further away hunting around the forest grounds.
I was following them with my lens just admiring their beauty, I felt so connected to them and in sync with mother earth and the ecology of life.
I was counting my blessings in meditation, learning to open up to all multi faceted events of life.
Such a powerful moment for me!
In such a grand environment it’s impossible not to get touch and connected to the majesty of nature and what mother earth is providing for us all.
I love to observe life and feel blessed whenever I am able to see the beauty of ongoing life.
It makes me feel connected and in the right place at the right time.

The Travel diary is now getting harder to make as we are getting very tired…little did we know our 8 hour Buenos Aries layover was going to bring us fresh challenges.
Expert Travel Planner Nilla shares her feelings after a long 12 hour flight on Qantas from Sydney to Buenos Aries where we had another 8 hours before catching a flight to Lima.
Or so we thought…
Stay tuned to learn what happens 7 hours later and how we cope with this situation.
Sometimes the getting to your destination can be a little trying but really it is minor
when we consider what so many other people have to put up every day.
The life of a top Travel Planner can sometimes be very stressful…so what do we do to relieve that stress?
Kelly Spinks has just returned from a quick trip to Sydney where she was a finalist in the Avis scholarship awards. Great stuff Kelly we are very proud of you.
But Kel is not feeling too well now as she managed as one can when flying to pick up a sore throat
and a decent cough somewhere along the way.
Most likely from her seat belt bucket as they are known to be a place where flu germs can be.
So I decided I would cheer her up a bit and make her a nice lunch with plenty of garlic and chilly.
Interestingly Kelly does not seem to be coughing as much since she has eaten. She probably wont get to close to her partner when she gets home either thanks to the extra garlic.
Now if you would like the recipe just let me know in the comments box below and I will write it out.
Almost all my cooking is done as one off dishes because I tend to make it up as I go so hence I don’t have the recipe ready.
If you have a proven Flu cure which you would like to share then please do in the comments box below.
Tomorrow I have a special experience from a friend in Singapore who travelled to Nepal.
Camilla is a keen travel photographer and managed to capture pictures of a eagle that were good enough to be included in National Geographic.
So please come back tomorrow and read what Camilla has to say on her Nepal experience.

Macchu Picchu is one of the must see travel places for many people when they visit Peru.
Take a look at this short video animation Nilla made for members of our group.
Once I viewed it I said let’s share it as it shows some nice shots of Macchu Picchu. There is also shots of Mt Veronica from a location few tourists will have visited.
Plus a number of nice people pictures as they happened which capture the feeling and sense of togetherness our group enjoyed.
Nilla will be posting her day by day dairy starting next week so if you want to learn some insights into travel in Peru, Macchu Picchu, Lake Titikaka and local village life then you will want to stay tuned.
