Newcastle model, digital storyteller, and devoted traveller Gigi Hubber is constantly on the move. P.E Nation caught up with Gigi before boarding a flight from her beloved coastal hometown to Cairns and the Torres Strait Islands, where she curated social media content for an Indigenous language conference. Join us as Gigi shares her top style tips for long-haul trips, reveals New York’s best hidden breakfast destination, and uncovers Bali’s ultimate spot for snorkelling with manta rays. No matter where you're planning on going, you'll discover insights and inspiration for every next destination - from city escapes to rainforest retreats.

What’s your favourite place in the world, and why?
New York City has my heart – the moment you arrive, the energy there makes you feel like you’re part of something much bigger. If you’re planning your own NYC adventure, make sure SoHo is on your list – it's a paradise for anyone into trendy cafes and independent brands. One spot you can’t miss is Citizens of SoHo – their avocado toast is a game-changer.  

Where’s next on your travel list?
I’m very grateful to be spending a week in Bali soon with three of my best friends, followed by a week rejuvenating with my family, and a few photoshoots booked in between. If you’re a foodie and shopaholic like me, go to Canggu. Book a table at Shelter – their dishes are so good they should be illegal. Escape from it all at Komune Resort – it’s a total zen sanctuary. And for a daytrip straight out of a postcard, head to Nusa Lembongan for some epic snorkelling. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a swim with majestic manta rays – it's a moment you’ll never forget.
