Day 1: Audi Hamilton Island Race Week
EVENT & TRAVEL
I was incredibly humbled and honoured to have been invited to Audi Hamilton Island Race Week this year with my partner for the weekend. Hamilton Island's population of 4800 people, including visitors – rises to about 5600 people during this annual race week.
After a quick 2.5 hour flight I was transported from the dark and gloomy weather in Sydney to the bright and sunny weather of Hamilton island. The luscious backdrop of palm trees, turquoise waters and lush vegetation helped me to destress automatically as soon as I set foot on this tropical island.
The island is normally run by golf carts however, for this event they transported us to our hotel via a slick, white Audi. We were greeted by Kit, who was so warm and informative and kept us company until we reached our hotel, Qualia. I quickly got dressed for the dinner prepared by Audi Ambassador: Guillaume Brahimi and what a night it was to remember! Day one: was INCREDIBLE! Let's see what day two will bring ;)!

There is something incredibly special about travelling with someone who has known you for more than three decades. Someone who remembers every version of you .. the younger you, the more chaotic you, the dressed-up you, the tired you .. and who can still make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
