The Highs & Lows of Family Travel

Family travel is magical! But it can also be chaotic—no matter what ages your kids are or the destination you choose!
 
Family travel is about connection. Connection made from educational experiences you will never find in a classroom, from taking on new challenges, discovering personal resilience, and forging memories that will last a lifetime and shape you and your family far into the future.
 
Join Professor Goway Don Forster and his wife, Jana Forster, as they recall their many family travel experiences from Australia to the Galapagos, Antarctica to Africa, the challenges, the rewards, the benefits and why it is worth any grief!

Brazil and its Hidden Gems

Famous for Carnaval, the Amazon, Ipanema Beach, Iguassu Falls, Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Parilla, Beaches and Capoeira Brazil is a magnet for the Globetrotter looking for a different kind of Latin America. But Brazil is more than these famous sites, sounds and experiences.
 
There is the Pantanal, a vast wetland comparable to the Okavango Delta rich in wildlife; the African cultural hub of Salvador, where African beats, culture and a rass roots celebration of Carnaval flourishes; Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, a unique landscape of white sand dunes and seasonal blue lagoons, creating a surreal and beautiful environment; Fernando de Noronha, an archipelago with stunning beaches, clear waters, and abundant marine life, making it a popular destination for divers and nature lovers.
 
And there is more.
 
Join Carlos Barros, Alisson Andrede and Don Forster as they delve into these hidden Gems of Brazil.

The Bushcamp Company - Pioneers of the Walking Safari

The Bushcamp Company operates six exclusive bush camps in the remote south of Zambia's iconic South Luangwa National Park, as well as the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge just inside the main park gate. Set out from any of these secluded, intimate camps and you're guaranteed an unrivalled wildlife experience in one of Africa's last unspoiled wilderness regions—the very place where the African walking safari was pioneered.
Join Professor Goway Don Forster and Andy Hogg from The Bushcamp Company as they discuss all that Zambia offers Globetrotters seeking pristine safari experiences.

Memories of Switzerland from a Goway Account Manager

Join “Professor” Goway and Jason Stratford, Goway Account Manager as he, Jason, recounts his recent visit to Switzerland.
 
See how the Swiss Alps don’t just dominate the landscape — they define it. Yet for all its natural splendor, Switzerland is not wild. It is refined. And oh, the trains. To ride the Glacier Express is to trace a line through wonder.
 
The cuisine, like everything else in Switzerland, balances indulgence with intention. Melted Gruyère and Emmental bubble in cauldrons of fondue, best shared with laughter and crusty bread.
 
Switzerland doesn’t shout. It whispers. And in that whisper, travelers hear something rare and profound: the sound of balance, the song of a place that has nothing to prove, and everything to share.
 
Come and listen to the “whispers” of Jason.

Samoa – the forgotten “Jewel” of the Pacific

Tucked deep in the heart of the South Pacific, Samoa is the kind of destination where nature feels untouched by hurry, where culture breathes with quiet pride, and where every sunrise feels like the beginning of something new. Samoa's beauty is unapologetically bold.
The coastline unfurls with white-sand beaches, kissed by turquoise lagoons. Inland waterfalls tumble from jungle-covered cliffs. The fa'a Samoa, or "Samoan way," surrounds you at every step. Join Professor Goway, Meg Boyd, Goway's South Pacific Product Manager and Francesca from Tourism Samoa to see why Samoa should be a part of any journey into the South Pacific.

Trek Kilimanjaro or Run in the Kilimanjaro Marathon

There are mountains, and then there is Kilimanjaro — the great snow-capped crown of Africa. It doesn’t roar or boast. It simply rises. Silent and impossibly beautiful.
To trek Kilimanjaro is to answer a call — not just to adventure, but to exploration. To answer the call of running its Marathon is, some would say, crazy….for the runners out there – it is the challenge!
From the moment your boots touch the forest floor of the lower slopes, it is a world alive with monkeys, birdsong, and the damp scent of moss and growth.
Summit day is something else entirely. You leave in darkness, headlamps dancing like fireflies along the narrow path but as the sun cracks the horizon and spills gold across the glaciers, the Africa plains lay below you.
Join “Professor” Goway and Debbie Anderson as they discuss all the ways to get to the top as well as why and how you can partake in the famed Kilimanjaro Marathon.

Rosie's The Beating Heart of Fiji Tourism

For years, Fiji has been a gateway to and from Australia for Goway. Its abundance of pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and warm, welcoming culture have enchanted ancient explorers and modern-day Globetrotters with some of the world's most beautiful landscapes and rich cultural experiences.
Goway's success over 55 years in creating memorable trips to Fiji could not have happened without the long partnership with the equally experienced local office of Rosies.
Rosie and Roy Whitton grew this mom-and-pop outfit over 50 years to become Fiji's most awarded tourism operator.
Join Professor Goway Don Forster as he sits down with Rosie and Roy’s son Tony Whitton to discuss Rosie's history, its impact on local life and international globetrotters, and the future of Fiji and Rosies.

Finding Value in Travel in all the Right Places

In today’s world, travel is often measured in Instagram likes, bucket lists, and luxury upgrades.

Finding value in travel means looking beyond the obvious, embracing the unexpected, and discovering that the richest experiences often lie in the most overlooked places.

An American and an Australian walk into a bar…Discover the Land Downunder

“G’day mate,” “Throw another shrimp on the barbie,” and “That’s not a knife… this is a knife”—these are just a few of the iconic phrases from Crocodile Dundee and Paul Hogan that made Australia, the land Downunder, famous to many North Americans in the ’80s.
Both Canadians and Americans have been fascinated with my hometown, from the creepy crawlies, magnificent shorelines, famous wines, the equally famous welcomes from Aussies, and an abundance of things to see and do.
Join me, Professor Goway, Don Forster, and our Account Manager from Los Angeles, Cory, who’s visited Australia more times than you can count, as we discuss the excitement of Australia and why a trip Downunder should be at the top of your bucket list.

Why South America should be at the top of your Bucket List.

Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, Iguassu Falls, Patagonia, the Andes, the Amazon, Rio, Buenos Aires, Bogota and Santiago…..to name a few.
Modern culture meets indigenous populations, creating finely woven mosaics of adventure, luxury and immersive experiences. Join us today as we explore why South America should be at the top of your bucket list.
