About Repeat Traveller

We’re Chris and Simon, two Aussie travellers with a love of exploration and adventure, and hearty splash of luxury. Our personal mantra is to never judge a destination on one visit; the experience can be wildly different the second time round - hence, the name Repeat Traveller.

This site is dedicated to our travels near and far, with first-hand insights from some of our favourite destinations - plus a whole lot more.

Joining the queue of travellers waiting for a photo at the start (or finish, depending on which direction you travel) of Route 66 on Santa Monica Pier. This legendary tourism route through eight states celebrates 100 years in 2026. #santamonica #route66 #travelgram #travelstoke #repeattraveller
Just watched ‘Crime 101’ on Netflix and spotted the Beverly Wilshire — aka the Pretty Woman hotel. Figured it was a good excuse for a throwback to my stay in May 2024. What a stunner. It’s hard to believe it was almost two years ago. #beverlyhills #beverlywilshire #instatravel #instatraveling #repeattraveller
Getting into the Sydney Mardi Gras spirit with @lifesaverswithpride; showing the beach and surf life saving is for everyone. It was a joy to match with reps from @slsaustralia @slsnsw @lifesavingqld @surflifesa and @sls_nt #mysurflife #surflifesaving #lifesaverswithpride #brunswickslsc
What do wildebeest and travel media have in common? They both have great annual migrations. The travel one took place this week, with 400+ writers, editors, PRs and more descending en masse on Sydney for the @travmedia Summit and International Media Marketplace (IMM). Yesterday was the Summit — held in the so-Frenchy-so-chic surrounds of @sofitelsydney. We followed that up today with IMM at the ICC. As always, it was THE event to discuss all things travel, as well as catch up with friends I only get to see once a year. Now, it’s time to write. Look forward to 2027. #travmedia #astw_inc #travelwriter #repeattraveller
Did you know there’s a three-day winter festival celebrating a cryogenically frozen man? It’s called ‘Frozen Dead Guy Days’ and transforms the town of Estes Park in Colorado into a quirky (if slightly morbid) escape featuring coffin races, live music and a polar plunge. Weird, but also kind of amazing. That’s one of many fun facts revealed at today’s @astw_inc lunch sponsored by @visitcolorado and @delta. Held at The Eveleigh by The Grounds, the lunch was a cheat sheet for the best of Colorado, from downtown Denver to Aspen Snowmass, Steamboat, Vail and more. It was great to hear all about the state’s 150th birthday this year, and also catch up with friends in town for @travmedia’s IMM. Big thank you to Colorado Tourism Office, Delta Air Lines, Visit Estes Park, Visit Denver, Aspen Snowmass, Alterra Mountain Company, Vail Resorts and the incredible team at Linkd Tourism. #colorado #visitcolorado #deltaairlines #astw_inc #repeattraveller
Country halls have long been the heart of rural communities. Last night I joined friends @cagladstone and @heatherjet at the monthly South Gundurimba Hall dance — around 10 minutes south of Lismore, NSW — for a beautiful reminder of how vital these halls are for human connection, health and happiness. I was the youngest in attendance, but was welcomed with open arms, with people only too happy to strike up a chat. The joy, romance and wholesomeness of it all was infectious, and it’s so heart-warming to see this local tradition continue. My mum (in the cream pants and top) even got up for a Gypsy Tap. #lismore #northernrivers #community #astw_inc
Fun attending the launch of @lifesaverswithpride’s new Proud Lifesaver Series at @tamaramaslsc last night. There’s a 6-minute super cut and shorter snippets to roll out soon. Simon and I chat about our experience in surf life saving, how diversity makes our clubs stronger, and what it means to be a proud lifesaver. #lifesaverswithpride #prideinsport #surflifesaving #mysurflife #repeattraveller
I’ve recently become a gym goer. This is not the launch of my gym selfie era. Far from it. Instead, it’s a question why hotel gyms are typically so bad? Most I’ve encountered are rubbish — a treadmill and sad kettle bell in the corner, a gym does not make. @moxysydneyairport is different. It has the best hotel setup I’ve found so far. Also, it turns out there is a whole website dedicated to rating and ranking the quality of hotel gyms: hotelgyms.com #moxysydneyairport #moxyhotels #sydney #hotelgym #repeattraveller
The dazzling @jewelchangiairport HSBC Rain Vortex light and sound show — Christmas edition. #singapore #visitsingapore #waterfalls #travelstoke #repeattraveller
Christmas may be over, but it’s still magical at Jewel @changiairport with the @disney themed decorations. #singapore #instatravel #travelgram #repeattraveller #astw_inc
A spectacular vista from Dragon View Bar & Restaurant 2.0 — the rebirth of a much-loved Krabi haunt after the original was lost to fire. The ramshackle, driftwood Robinson Crusoe charm may be gone, but the outlook remains breathtaking, and the cocktails and cuisine are still travel-worthy. #krabi #thailand #repeattraveller #travelstoke
Enjoying a scenic trek to Huai To Waterfall in Thailand’s Khao Phanom Bencha National Park — around 35/40 minutes drive from Aonang. The five-pooled falls is the main attraction, but there’s also a Buddhist shrine, cafe and impressive ‘Baing tree’ worth checking out. The trek to the falls is beautiful, passing beneath rainforest trees, over uneven rocks and up some pretty steep cliff sides. Your reward is a refreshing dip in the base of the falls. Hiring a car is the easiest way to visit. Entry to the national park is 100 baht per person, plus 30 baht for the car. Not recommended for people with mobility issues. #aonang #amazingthailand #travelstoke #astw_inc #repeattraveller
