WHO is behind HER.holiday?
Elisa Elwin and Fiona Harper are the team behind HER.holiday. Both are passionate advocates for supporting women to be the best version of themselves. They discovered the true worth of a supportive women’s community during long periods of isolation during the covid pandemic.
While leading the Travel Play Live community from their own isolated outposts in different Australian states, Elisa and Fiona realised the deep-seated demand and desire for women to stay connected, plan outings and provide support to maintain mental and physical wellbeing.
Developing the HER.holiday platform to support, inspire and encourage women has empowered them to build a gateway bringing women together in a global community.
Elisa Elwin
Editor-in-chief
Elisa was born in the USA, lives in Sydney and has a wealth of experience in publishing, leadership and relationship building enhanced by her former career in social work.
Elisa’s publishing company Elwin Media publishes Out & About with Kids, Australia’s leading family travel magazine, and is one of the few Australian travel publishers to have remained in print during the global pandemic.
Elisa has two magnetic, empowered, bold and courageous daughters. She is raising them to be proud, confident young women and never to accept gender bias, calling out discrimination across all walks of life, and treating others with respect and kindness. With close family around the globe, Elisa hopes to reconnect with them soon.

Fiona Harper
Managing Editor
A gypsy at heart currently living in Queensland, Fiona Harper has a background as an author, travel writer, digital editor and outdoor adventurer through her company MiTribe Media. She created Travel Boating Lifestyle in 2008 from onboard her yacht while sailing northern Australia. Fiona’s online store Mitribe.shop sells her images created into unique designs printed onto activewear, homewares and wall art.
On global assignments Fiona has run marathons, hiked mountain trails and sailed across oceans with adventurous women who continually remind her that ‘mature’ age has little bearing on our ability to achieve our goals.
She has captained five of her own yachts, is writing her third boating guide book and dreams of checking into a beachfront bure in the South Pacific to write a sassy memoir. She plans to still be tottering across marathon finish lines well into her 80’s.
