About Kerryn
Who is Kerryn?
I’m Kerryn – a wife, mum, grandmother (Gigi), and someone deeply passionate about helping couples grow closer through shared experiences. Travel has always been an important part of our life, and I believe it’s a powerful tool for nurturing relationships and creating lasting memories.
When I started Sapphire Blue Travel, my mission went beyond simply showcasing destinations. We wanted to inspire couples to use travel to build stronger bonds, deepen their love, and strengthen their connection. We believe that travel is more than just an adventure—it’s a way to grow together.
A Faith-Fueled Journey
God has called me to serve couples, and our travels to Europe, Australia, and beyond have deepened our understanding of what it means to grow together in faith and love. Every trip we take is about more than the destination—it’s about the moments we share and the memories we create.
Inspiring Couples Through Travel
Our mission is to inspire couples to use travel as a tool to enrich their marriage. Through our videos, blogs, and tips, we offer practical advice, destination inspiration, and insights into how travel can strengthen relationships. Whether you’re embarking on your first adventure together or looking to reconnect, we’re here to help you travel brilliantly and intentionally.
