Tyra Walsh
Hey! I’m Tyra Walsh, an Aussie travel blogger who loves adventure, culture and storytelling. From surfing at Bondi Beach to hiking in the Blue Mountains or road-tripping through the Outback, I believe travel is all about trying new things and making meaningful connections. My blog is where I share detailed guides, insider tips and personal travel stories to inspire others to venture beyond the usual tourist hotspots.
I cover everything from luxury escapes on Hamilton Island to backpacking through Queensland and discovering hidden gems in Tasmania. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or planning your first big trip, I provide practical advice to help you travel smarter and get in the thick of it.
Professional Experience
My travel blogging journey began a few years ago when I realised my love for writing and adventure could create something cool. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to travel around Australia and internationally, working with tourism boards, travel brands and accommodation providers to bring destinations to life.
Some of my career highlights include:
- Working with Tourism Western Australia to promote sustainable travel in the Margaret River region.
- Creating custom itineraries for luxury travellers heading to Lord Howe Island.
- Writing travel features for Escape and Australian Traveller magazines, sharing my thoughts on adventure travel and cultural experiences.
I’ve been recognised in industry awards, including the 2023 Best Travel Blogger Award and I support projects that promote responsible tourism and Indigenous heritage appreciation.
