About Chantal

Who am I? It's a question I often ask myself. I guess I'm still working that out! Living day-to-day I'd say I'm a down-to-earth kind of person who cherishes the company of family and friends. Other times, I can be completely wacky, adventurous and have been known to do some pretty crazy and unexpected things ... like jumping into a coral reef filled with stingrays, jellyfish, sharks and other nasties, or jumping off a bungee tower shouting expletives out of sheer terror. Writing is my ultimate passion and travelling is in my blood, so naturally it's my dream to be a 'guest' travel writer for lastminute.com.au. My best travel tip: always have multiple methods of communication available, emergency numbers and pack light!
