Remember Bulletin Boards and life pre-email???
It was the bottle opener, but now I guess it’s screw caps…

San Francisco California, USA. My parents drove to the city(we lived nearly an hour away) because my mum heard they served wine to the patients… she is not going to be impressed that I shared this but I love this about her.
I am a ‘digital tourism geek.” I love reading a variety of digital tourism and marketing forums and devour websites like TNOOZ, eyefortravel and Skift daily trend reports
VR – Virtual Reality. It isn’t really future technology, it’s available and used already but it is its potential for tourism that I find so exciting. I believe it offers the most emotive and engaging marketing tool to date. It allows those that can’t travel for whatever reason whether it’s financial or physical, to experience other destinations, which opens up the world to a whole new audience. It’s so good on so many levels.
Any place off the map. I enjoy cities but crave natural landscapes with ocean views or open plains, mountains and wildlife to see experiences with my husband.
It would have to be India! I absolutely love how it ticks all the senses - smell, taste, sight & sound!! Love it!
I always wanted to be a Doctor, the idea of helping people always appealed to me - especially children.
Knitting! (or crafting in general) I am a little bit addicted!

Anywhere with an amazing white sandy beach and warm weather to relax and unwind and throw in some snorkelling!
My iPhone for sure, hard to remember what life was like without one.
Facebook and LinkedIn (perhaps a clue to my generation!), they can be incredibly time consuming!...and a daily wordle
A chef! In fact 10 years down the lane, I’d love to run a café cum design gallery serving a fusion food inspired by Indian flavours with western influences. Not exactly a butter chicken pie but definitely a rose ‘n cardamom macaroon!

Adobe Creative Suite (until something even smarter comes along!)
The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Japan. The food, the mountains, the owl cafes, the robots. It really has it all.
I have the pet version of a Roomba for crumbs, a Huntaway which I can’t live without.
My trusty hiking boots, all of the snacks and an all-weather jacket because there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
Project Manager
An event manager. I enjoy the process of planning for an event. I guess I might start a small-scale business in future.
My passport, wallet and my go-to jacket.
Faroe Island - beautiful views, hikes and epic landscapes. I enjoy quiet places in nature.
Cap, Shirt, Bata Bullets (am I showing my age ?!)

Somewhere with a white sandy beach, crystal clear (warm) ocean with great diving, snorkelling, surf and seafood.
Running bike-packing tours across Asia.

It would be 6 months in India studying tea-making
Meta - gathering inspiration and keeping an eye on competitive advertising
Indiana Jones or Dr Alan Grant
My phone (basically a glorified camera and GPS), credit card and backpack.
If we aren't specifying how far in the future then teleportation.
Instagram or Pinterest, mostly looking at food!.
Digital Performance Specialist
The Amalfi Coast, Italy! I love everything Italian, especially the food and the wine!
My Phone because it can do just about everything.
A good balance between sightseeing and relaxing, and good food and drinks would be a plus!!

My ideal holiday is a serene escape to a Hawaiian beach, where the soothing sounds of the waves and the warmth of the sun create a perfect backdrop for quality time with my family. Whether it's building sandcastles, exploring the clear blue waters, or simply enjoying each other's company under the shade of swaying palm trees, the Hawaiian beach setting offers a blissful retreat that combines relaxation and cherished moments with my loved ones.
I am most excited about the future of virtual reality (VR). The immersive potential of VR technology opens up exciting possibilities across various domains, from gaming and entertainment to education and healthcare. The prospect of being able to transport oneself to different environments and experiences seamlessly is not only thrilling but also holds immense potential for revolutionizing how we learn, connect, and engage with content. As VR technology continues to advance, I look forward to its integration into everyday life, offering novel and transformative experiences that were once limited to our imaginations.
If I were to have a pet robot, its primary function would be to assist with household chores, streamlining daily tasks and making life more efficient. This includes cleaning, organizing, and perhaps even assisting in meal preparation. Additionally, I would love for my robot companion to have a bodyguard function, ensuring both personal and home security. This dual-purpose robot would not only lighten my domestic workload but also provide an extra layer of safety and peace of mind in my daily life.
Web Developer
Internet and Mobile because it's very handy and easiest way to communicate with the world.
Robbinsville Akshardham, New Jersey, USA as it is a landmark of Hindu architecture and culture and its a second-largest temple in the world.
I wanted to be a doctor.
Lifelong Office Mascot
Tana has been with the Tomahawk Team now for over five years. Although he came to us as a 'young pup' with no experience in tourism, he has quickly learned to love everything about the travel industry. From hiking some of the best NZ trails to travelling in the back of a ute all over the country, he has learned to appreciate how travel can change one’s perspective.
In the office he provides entertainment, sticks and balls and is a keen team member also willing to help clean up the staff room kitchen floor after meals.
