Many people who book on a walking tour think that because they can walk around the Tan a couple of times, or go on a full day hike, that they will be OK. The challenge is when you are required to walk on consecutive days! If you are not well prepared your walking holiday can quickly become painful & unpleasant. Here are some tips for preparing your feet: 1. Shoes Ensure you have shoes fitted for your foot type and the type of terrain you will be walking on. Every persons biomechanics are different and therefore so are your footwear needs. Having your feet analysed by a professional (do not buy online!) is a great way to ensure you have the right shoes from the beginning. It is ideal to have 2 pairs of shoes for your walking tour, especially if its wet and off road. We recommend good quality lightweight boots or trail shoes….
A Hebrew Word For An Intentional Pause To Reflect.
Helping Christians Go Deeper In Their Faith
In our high-paced lives, Selah offers experiences for Christians to go deeper in their faith through travel.
Travel opportunities including Holy Land and Bible Tours, or simply travel to a beautiful destination with like-minded people.
THE SELAH STORY
The concept of 'Selah' was birthed from Lisa Tarzia's personal experience. As the Executive Director of Selah, and formerly Mission Travel, Lisa has always been passionate about travel that transforms. Through her own journey, the 'selah-moments' she experienced were life changing. This drew her to a place where she wanted to provide opportunities for Christians to have these moments.
"Escaping from the busyness of life and making an intentional choice to stop and go deeper in faith is what I want to create. I guess it is a type of discipleship travel." says Lisa.
Selah provides these opportunities through travel to Biblical places, but also to places where God's creation makes us look to Him with awe and wonder. Custom made for the Australian Christian, the heart behind Selah is for people to grow and be transformed. Selah recruits tour leaders of excellence that can commentate and facilitate this growth.
The power of pausing and reflecting is incredible. As A.W. Tozer writes 'More spiritual progress can be made in one short moment of speechless silence in the awesome presence of God than in years of mere study.'

The European Commission has confirmed that the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) will officially launch on April 9, 2026. However countries in the Schengen Area will have limited flexibility to pause EES operations after that date to manage summer travel congestion. The EES requires non-EU travellers to submit facial images and fingerprints when entering or exiting the Schengen Zone. Some countries have introduced automated kiosks and electronic gates to speed up the process, but implementation has not been consistent. EES is separate from—but connected to—the upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), which will require pre-travel authorisation for non-EU travellers from visa-exempt countries. ETIAS is expected to launch later in 2026. We will keep you updated on these developments. But for now, please be aware that immigration procedures may be delayed and connecting flights, trains or transfers should be booked with a decent time gap to accomodate for this.
When unrest unfolds in the Middle East, our phones ring. People are understandably anxious. They want to cancel. They want to change. They want certainty. And what everyone really wants is a crystal ball. But here’s the truth: in moments like this, the timing of your decision matters just as much as the decision itself. Panic Is Understandable — But It Can Be Expensive When headlines are intense and airspace is disrupted, it feels safer to “just cancel.” However, cancelling too quickly can trigger: Airline cancellation penalties Loss of deposits Non-refundable supplier charges Insurance complications In many cases, acting immediately can cost you significantly more than waiting a few days. How Airlines Usually Respond in Crises What many travellers don’t realise is that airlines typically operate from a place of goodwill during major events — whether it’s conflict, natural disasters, or unexpected airspace closures. Once the scope of disruption becomes clear, airlines often release special…
