First adventure of 2013! May this year, pretty consistent weather in the US, and a road trip is on the agenda! You’re given wine region and USA, and you’ll probably say Napa Valley. Nah-uh. It’s all about the Finger Lakes. Visiting the Finger Lakes wasn’t the original plan but as a certain surprise Alan had … Continue reading
An excellent Paris/Christmas song pun, I know. My lovely older sister, Tanya, took me to Paris in December as my 21st birthday present (which is in November) for a weekend. Needless to say, I was over the moon. And thus a lovely weekend of blue skies (for one day), floral rooms, sight-seeing and the most … Continue reading
New York was part of my trip last September in the US – a while ago, yes, but it’s NEW YORK CITY, so obviously it’s worth mentioning and talking about. Or at least showing you a few pictures. This was just a long weekend, so we were rushed when picking the few things we really … Continue reading
Boston, Massachusetts, has become a pretty special place to me. I’m not just saying that because it would please my Boston-living boyfriend, Alan – although because he lives there is definitely the larger part of the reason I’ve come to like the city so much. I went there end of August into September 2012 and … Continue reading
I’ve decided I’m making a comeback with this blog. And I mean business (but in that fun, not intensely serious kind of way). A lot has happened in the past year. I started this blog to talk about my semester abroad in Melbourne, Australia – well, obviously I’m not there anymore, but it was the … Continue reading
I went to Uluru in 2009 with my dad and my sister (my sister was living in Sydney for a year at this time, so this trip was during mine and my dad’s visit over there). I would truly say there’s never been a place like it in my experience/travels. I have never before been … Continue reading
I stupidly agreed to write a haiku for my friend Alia when my mentions of Allie in this blog were becoming all the more frequent. I’m telling you now, these are no masterpieces. Once I realised how difficult it was to get everything you wanted in the limits of a haiku, I saw the opportunity … Continue reading
I’m the last international standing. Or at least I will be in about a week. I’m not sure how to feel about it. Saying goodbye to my other internationals and the Aussies has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and the goodbyes aren’t even all over yet. After the departure … Continue reading
Going to Bali was one of the first places I’ve visited/things I’ve done before my sister, Tanya. A shameful, selfish boast of a beginning to a blog entry, but I really can’t help but be a little bit proud ;) First thing I noticed about Bali: it smelt GOOD. What I loved about Bali was … Continue reading
YAY. I’ve finished with all university work in Australia. And ultimately until late September. I’m going to have to make some effort over the next few months to ensure my brain doesn’t completely turn to mush. So, there was one massive theme in all of the units I happened to pick out over here in … Continue reading
