Sometimes it can be hard to get inspired to get into summer clothes when we have been holed up in winter clothes for ages - but we booked that trip overseas and its time to get the swimwear and shorts out.  

This podcast gives tips on what to chose,  how to pack, some tips on best footwear choices for travelling and how to get the best out of the clothes you are wearing when you are away.  

I also share tips on how to stay fit and healthy when you are travelling.  It is really easy and appropriate to indulge when you are away but how do you draw the line and ensure that you are not returning home with extra unwanted kgs.   

Feel free to listen and leave some comments or suggestions on what you would like to hear more of!
