Melbourne street art is pretty awesome. I was missing my old home of Melbourne a lot yesterday, so I thought I’d pay a tribute to the joy of walking down a street and stumbling across a mark someone’s left, a little insight into their mind, I like to think. Some is gritty, some elegant, but … Continue reading

10 tips: Studying abroad
Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity – I can’t express that enough. But it is stressful. It’s not just a fun ride, there’s a lot of organisation, paper work, and you might just be on verge of breakdown with a week to go, thinking, “Oh my god, what am I doing??” because you’ve been so … Continue reading
A London Brunch: make some room
I love a good brunch. And to celebrate my Graduation (yay) with my family, we went to an all time favourite: brunch at the Intercontinental London Park Lane Hotel. I won’t lie, I was genuinely reminiscing the day before about all the food I was going to eat, hoping they’d have it all there this … Continue reading
London Olympics 2012: A year on
Happy Anniversary! I hope you’re all watching the London Anniversary Games this weekend! It’s a year on to the day of the Opening Ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics. Guess what? I was there. Being lucky enough to go to the Opening Ceremony is something I can’t describe. But I will, because this is a … Continue reading
Narwhal? Nowhere? No, NORWICH!
Norwich, England, isn’t a place many people have heard of or at least not spent their free time dreaming about. When I said to people that I went (boohoo, past tense) to University in East Anglia, they stared at me blankly. “Norwich?”, I try, to at least be visualising the same region and convince them … Continue reading
London’s calling (and it’s about to go crazy)
Seeing as this is the city I’ll be spending most of my time from now on, it seems a bit cruel to leave it out. It may be my hometown (and one that I’ll damn well proud of being from) but you still find travel excitement and adventure within it. Don’t underestimate the places right … Continue reading
A MASS Adventure
Hiking, white water rafting and paddleboarding. It’s all there, in the state of Massachusetts. Yes, I said Massachusetts. That small state in the North East, where some maps of the USA can’t fit ‘MA’ into the state, so have to direct a line out to actually let you know what it is. I would go … Continue reading
North American Road Trip – Montreal
There’s been a lack of posts the past few days as I had my graduation (yay!) ceremony in Norwich and was living my last week as a student – more on Norwich in a later post. Montreal It’s really French. Now I know that’s silly to say, Montreal being in Quebec, a province with French … Continue reading
North American Road Trip – Toronto
Toronto’s always voted one of the most liveable cities, and I was very excited to go there having heard a lot about it from the Canadian friends made on my semester in Australia. Alan and I were even staying with 2 of them during our short time here – reminds me of what one of … Continue reading
North American Road Trip – Buffalo and Niagara Falls
From a city everybody overlooks to a sight everyone wants to experience. We stayed with Alan’s cousin, Kate, in Buffalo, and I will tell you, some parts are actually really lovely. You can appreciate the architecture of basically what look like big farm cottages lined up side by side in a residential area. Kate’s house … Continue reading
