The Window Seat
I started this blog after seeing endless “travel hacks” in magazines and thinking, “I already knew that!” Friends and family kept asking for tips — from free Universal Studios express passes to booking tickets for Universal Japan — so I decided to share what really works.
With 15 years of solo adventures from New Zealand to Norway, and 10 years of family travel — that has included everything from Theme Parks to cruises — I’ve learned the tricks that make trips easier, smarter, and more rewarding.
The Window Seat is your go-to for practical tips that save time, get the most out of every travel dollar, and make travelling stress-free
