In between exploring the east coast of Tasmania, cruising the waterways of Noosa, sampling the luxe life in Business Class on a Qantas A380, and the usual day-to-day craziness of the Jones household, I’ve been working hard with the Travel Without Limits team to bring the Spring/Summer 2025 issue to life!
Publishing Australia’s first (and only!) disability-specific magazine is a huge job: gathering stories from people with lived experience of travelling with a disability, assembling them into a magazine, sourcing images, fact checking, proof reading, proof reading again… And yet, every time I see the finished product, it all feels worth it.
This new issue is going to be sent off to the printer soon, but I just couldn’t wait to give you all a sneak peek at what’s coming. And if you subscribe right now, we’ll be able to squeeze you onto the mailing list so you can get the new issue hot off the presses!

In fact, the city is the perfect launch pad for exploring all that New York State has to offer – check it out in our cover feature.
