What’s the biggest backpacking challenge? Finding your way through an overland border crossing? Getting directions when you don’t speak the language? Searching for a hostel that’s cheap but not horrendously cheap? Nope, none of these. It’s figuring out what the…

Some people fall into the eat to live category, but I am 100% the live to eat type. My biggest expense in Australia is definitely food. I LOVE to eat and I really love to eat out. The only problem…

Valentines Day is such a non-event in my books. I don’t see the point of it. There, I said it! Each year I see people around me looking to buy the most beautiful thing (that no one really needs) all…

Isn’t it funny how the items that you use almost every day can often be the ones most often forgotten? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve rocked up somewhere only to realise that my deodorant is still…

When I was thinking about what to pack for a cruise, I thought my head was going to pop. Cruise ships are like a mini floating towns with a lot going on every single day. For example, in one single…

Have you ever had one of those moments where you just feel completely badass? Not in a boasting kinda way, but more in a ‘I can’t believe how freakin’ awesome my life is right now’ kinda way? Well, this was me…

Visiting Melbourne and want to get a great feel for what it’s all about outside the CBD? Then Melbourne’s famous Fitzroy suburb is the place to go. In the day it’s cool and chilled out and at night it’s buzzing!…

There are so many things on the ‘must do’ list when you’re visiting Australia, and sailing the Whitsundays is definitely one of them. When I last visited Australia I took a day trip over to Whitehaven Beach with Ocean Rafting which…

When you drive into Newcastle in New South Wales, you could be forgiven for thinking that it’s a quiet, sleepy city. And you’d be right in a way- but I mean in a good way. If you’re in need of…

Anyone who is able to pronounce Promontory the first try, my hat goes off to you because to this day, I still can’t. Fortunately for me, it’s better known as Wilsons Prom for tourists or The Prom if you’re a local…

If there’s one road trip you will have heard about a million times over in Australia, it will be the Great Ocean Road. And it’s for good reason too! Seriously, it’s not one of those over-hyped things that everyone tells…

One of my all-time favourite things to do when visiting a city is to get up high, right above the skyline and just watch. The tiny cars moving below, the whole map of a place laid out in front of…

Over the past 5 years, I think I’ve visited Bangkok about 6 times. Not only is this an awesome and iconic city in itself, but it’s also a fantastic place to base yourself to visit other places such as North…

To say I was excited to be revisiting Penang is probably the understatement of the year. I love this little island and ever since my first stay 5 years ago, I’ve been doing my best to convince as many people…

Phillip Island is an absolute must in Australia. Just over an hour from Melbourne, it’s the perfect break from the bustling city for a chance to spend some time with nature and get a bit outdoorsy. So stick on your…

When I think back to the time I went on my round the world trip, I have a bunch of thoughts cross my mind. It’s a combination of not believing it was that long ago already (2013!), disbelief that I…

A chance to chill out, breath in some fresh air and see something different. Luckily, Brisbane is in the perfect spot to reach so many different places that a day trip away from the city is super easy. So if…

Turning my Honda CR-V into a camper during my time in Australia was the best thing ever. Not only was I able to live out my cliche Australian road tripping fantasies and get the ultimate taste of freedom that only…
