Where do you start when you're planning a holiday that needs to be accessible for a wheelchair? What questions do you need to ask hotels? And how do you make sure you’ll be able to do all the activities you want to?

For the past 22 years, Julie Jones and her family have been asking these questions.

Julie's son Braeden was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy which means he's non-verbal and uses a wheelchair. But that hasn’t stopped them travelling the world. From seeing glaciers in New Zealand to hiking Kakadu and cruising the South Pacific, they’ve seen a lot.

Julie Jones is trying to change the way we think about accessible travel and she's sharing her story with Holly...

If you are always testing the luggage weight limit at the airport, you need to meet Lexi Connors.
She is all about minimalist travel, and is trying to reduce her travel footprint by taking as little with her as she can. Later this year, she's heading off around the world for a whole year with only one, small, carry-on bag.

So why did she want to become a minimalist traveller? And how do you even begin to cut down your items to just a backpack?

In July 2017, Justin and Lauren Jones set off across the desert on a trek that lasted more than a hundred days. The terrain was extreme. The walk was grueling. And they took their toddler Morgan with them. Yes, their toddler. Crazy? Let's find out...

They started on the border of Western Australia and the Northern Territory and made their way down to Port Augusta in South Australia.

Justin pulled a 280kg trolley filled with nappies and water, while Lauren pulled their daughter Morgan - and tried to stop her climbing out of the cart every 5 minutes.

So how do you prepare for this? How do you know where you’re going? What do you eat? How much water do you take? How do you entertain a toddler in a small cart? We asked, and they answered.

Have you heard of digital nomads? They're the people travelling the world who aren't on holiday.

Magazine editor, author and writer Amy Molloy decided to go traveling in South America for four months but never miss a deadline, filing stories from the shores of Lake Titicaca and writing a book at Machu Picchu. It didn't quite work out like that...

These days Amy works from her South Coast home and is just the person to tell us whether the newly imagined working holiday - one where you’re always at your laptop - is all it’s cracked up to be.

When Amna Karra-Hassan looked at the sporting events in her local community, she noticed there were no women.

She decided that needed to change. So she created the Auburn Tigers.

Amna is a player, coach, public speaker, an employee of the Australian Federal Police and she sits on the board of the Council for Australian Arab Relations and a not-for-profit women's health initiative called Go Active.

So, how does she do it?

Imagine being a 17 year old girl, friendly, happy and doing well at school and suddenly you’re told you’ve got 3 months to live.

That’s what happened to Maddy Ritchie when she was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer that resulted in an 18 cm tumor in her pelvis.

After 12 months of grueling chemotherapy, Maddy is now in her early 20s and two years cancer free.

To give back she volunteers for charities that help families in the same situation she was in.

So, how does she do it?

When Maddi O’Gradey was 12 she went on a school trip to Parliament house and noticed something… all the pictures on the walls were of men.

From that moment on, she decided she wanted to do something to change that.
With a passion for mental health Maddi started a business called ‘High Tide’ to encourage students to talk about mental health issues and feel comfortable asking for help.

And this year Maddi was the first Australian to win the Dalai Lama peace fellowship for her work.

So, how does she do it?
