My Trophy Cabinet (That’s Technically Digital)

Turns Out Chaos Wins Prizes

I didn’t set out to collect awards. Honestly, I was just trying to keep my ducks in a row (and failing spectacularly). But over time, I’ve managed to pick up a few shiny badges for doing what I do best: writing books that sound like a mate telling you the truth, making cocktails less complicated, and adding a splash of fun to life.

Each award feels like a little high-five from the universe… and possibly proof I deserve another drink.

So, grab a chair, take a scroll, and check out the moments other people thought, “Yeah, this guy deserves a pat on the back.”

🏆 Emotional Education Author of the Year 2025

Turns out teaching people how not to lose their minds (with sarcasm and snacks) is award-worthy.

🏆 2025 Best Adventure Travel Content Creator

“Apparently, turning van life fails and roadside disasters into survival tips counts as content. Who knew?”

🏆 Travel Advisory Platform of the Year 2024/25

“Helping people avoid booking ‘Instagram-perfect’ nightmares since forever. And throwing in some questionable map advice along the way.”

🏆 #1 Amazon Best Seller

“Proof that chaos, caffeine, and late-night typing marathons can make you look legit.”

🏆 Best Cocktail & Spirits Website 2025

“Because someone had to make drinking educational. You’re welcome.”

🏆 2024 Australian Travel Blogger of the Year

“For turning wrong turns into great stories and questionable road trip playlists.”

Why Does This Matter?

Because every one of these wins means someone out there connected with my words (or at least my recipes). And honestly? That matters more than the trophies.

These awards aren’t just for my ego, they’re for the readers who laughed, the home bartenders who nailed that margarita, and the travelers who managed to survive their trip without crying into a servo pie.

So, thank you. For real.


What’s Next?

More books. More cocktails. Maybe more awards. Probably more chaos.
