About

Hi, I’m Tahnee! Growing up in outback Queensland, Australia, my love for travel began with bedtime stories and long road trips. Instead of children’s books, my dad would read us books about the world and ancient wonders—stories that sparked my curiosity and fuelled dreams of visiting places like ancient Egypt and Greece. Living in a remote part of Queensland provided the opportunity to take many road trips, where we’d stop at waterfalls, lakes, mountains, beaches and other beautiful locations. My curiosity and love for adventure developed.

Now, I’m an adventure seeker and avid passport stamp collector, ticking off my bucket list one epic journey at a time. But my mission goes beyond my own travels—I want to help you level up yours.

Tourist to Traveller is designed for people just like you—travel enthusiasts who want to turn their dream destinations into reality, even with a busy schedule. Whether you’re planning your first bucket list adventure or looking for ways to travel smarter and more authentically, this blog is here to guide you every step of the way.

I share practical tips on trip planning, packing, travel photography, and creating meaningful experiences that go beyond surface-level sightseeing. My goal is to help you shift from feeling like a tourist to becoming a confident traveller—someone who connects deeply with the destinations they visit.

As someone who works full-time in a career I love (outside of travel), I know the challenges of balancing work and wanderlust. That’s why I focus on making travel simple, time-efficient, and achievable for people with limited time who still want to see the world in unforgettable ways.

So, if you’re ready to move beyond cookie-cutter vacations and create experiences that inspire, challenge, and transform you, you’re in the right place. Join me on this journey, and let’s level up your travel game together.
