Australia
I’m a freelance travel and lifestyle writer with a love for big adventures and even bigger stories. After many incredible years living in London, Singapore and Bali, I now call Sydney home — but the world is always calling.
I write about everything from family escapes and solo adventures to hiking trails, off-the-beaten-path, wellness, sustainable travel, and where to find your next unforgettable meal. If it’s inspiring, offbeat, or unforgettable, I’m there (phone in hand).
I’m available for features, branded content, guides, and social media listings across digital and print. I know my way around SEO and WordPress, and I’m all about creating content that connects.
What lights me up? Interviewing fascinating people doing amazing things, visiting UNESCO sites (and places you’ve never heard of yet), and sharing stories that make you want to pack your bags — sustainably, of course.
Proud member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) and finalist for Best Family Travel Story 2024.

A Model Life: We meet some of Bali’s top models to talk all things beauty, brands and laidback island life
Here’s a complete guide on where to stay, eat and play in Bali’s north-east neighbourhood
Words by Rebecca Foreman Indah Kalalo is a household name in Indonesia, and rightly so. Her extensive career in entertainment spans from modelling, acting, YouTubing and even singing. Just one stalk on her buzzing Instagram page and you can see she's a lady that gets things done.
Whether you and the family are looking for a fresh start here in Bali, or you're a long-time expat with your sights set on a Bali-based education for your kids, we asked mum and fellow expat Rebecca Foreman to find the very best international schools in Bali - all in a bid to make your decision-making easier!
Here comes Jonny!
Singaporeans have had a long-lasting love affair with Bali, consistently a top travel destination due to its close geographical location and high-end accommodation offerings. But the Covid-19 climate has meant that borders are now closed and tourism on the Island of the Gods has ceased, causing massive unemployment.
Mums & dads, we get it. When it comes to keeping the kids busy each month in Bali, the bog-standard just won't do. You need the hottest kids hotels and luxe family villas, the on-the-pulse family friendly restaurants to chomp on awesome wholesome fare, and all the brand new fabby dabby things to do, 'hood by 'hood ( Canggu for the weekend, kids?).
There's no doubt 2020 has served up some challenging humdingers for us parents. And now, we've arrived at the school summer holidays, AKA that looooong stretch of time when the kids are constantly looking for something fun to do. But don't hit the panic button just yet...
Ah Bali en famille. There really is nothing better than exploring this island playground with the whole fam-gang. And while we love Bali's never-ending collection of kid-friendly hotels and resorts, sometimes we want to up the privacy (and the glam-factor!) with one of Bali's very best family-friendly villas.
Words by Rebecca Foreman I met Pak Nyoman, otherwise known as Pandita, at Fivelements Retreat in Ubud. News of Coronavirus was spreading like wildfire and yet he still agreed to meet amidst the chaos unfolding around us.
Singapore is an amazing base for one-stop island getaways, beautiful beaches and fabulous kids' clubs. But when it comes to top travel encounters, I've often heard people say climbing a volcano is one of the most memorable activities you can ever do. And it's especially memorable while in Indonesia, one of the most volcano-dense countries on the planet.
Words by Rebecca Foreman There really is no greater way to declare yourself in true holiday mode than by hitting the spa - we're talking daily massages, mani-pedis, blow waves and allll the reflexology. But what if you can't slope off and leave the kids in daddy daycare?
You've probably been living under a rock if you missed the news of the raging Australian bushfires recently. So many areas were hit, and popular tourist destination Kangaroo Island (an island off the mainland of South Australia, southwest of Adelaide) did not escape unharmed.
It's no secret that us folks at HoneyKids love Australia. Whether it's sunny Sydney, magical Melbourne (hello, best coffee ever!) or the gorgeous Gold Coast, we're huge fans of all the awesomeness the country has to offer. On our radars right now? Perth.
Ahh Pemuteran - the calm and ever-peaceful neighbourhood in Bali's north that was once an undiscovered traditional fishing village. Today, with its beautiful backdrop of a calm clear bay, nestled between majestic mountain tops and neighbouring the West Bali National Park, Pemuteran is slowly revealing itself to the more adventurous Bali visitor, quietly declaring what is so unique about the Island of the Gods...
Rebecca Foreman explores Croatia on a family driving tour; exploring mountainous landscapes, world heritage sites, and dramatic coastlines.
Bali really is one of the most family-friendly destinations in the world. In every corner of the island you'll find awesome things to do with the kids (we're talking super-cool activities and wild island adventures) and more child-friendly restaurants than you can shake a dummy at.
If the thought of keeping the kids entertained on holiday leaves your tummy in a twist - fear not. You can leave the temper tantrums at home because Bali is an action-packed tropical playground for both kids and parents alike.
