Welcome to my new feature, Postcard Perfect. I love postcards. On my travels, I’ll be that person torn between the sunset skyline or the night skyline, chickening out of asking for a stamp in the local language, and searching for a postbox. Whether I send them, receive them or keep them as a memento for … Continue reading

Melbourne’s quirky beauty
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
The allure of Uluru
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
Home from home
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
Out and about with the Aussies
Because I’m bogged down by work, I’m going to write another blog entry. No, that doesn’t make any logical sense, but I can’t resist a little bit of procrastination, and I wanted to share some of the stuff I’ve been up to before I become a hermit. This post will mainly be pictures – wouldn’t … Continue reading
What? Australia isn’t always hot?!
Melbourne has frozen over. This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s 16 degrees and I haven’t felt this cold in a while. I understand that all you Englishmen/women will hate me a little bit for saying this, and I’m going to go ahead and join you in that. I’ve lost my ability … Continue reading
East Coast Adventures
Let’s talk Queensland and a dash of New South Wales. Brace yourself; this is a big one. One week for Easter holidays to Surfers Paradise in Gold Coast, then Byron Bay, then Brisbane with Frankie. Now, before I give a run down about each of these places and give you some pretty pictures to look … Continue reading
Great Ocean Road: waterfalls and beaches galore
I suck just a bit at updating my blog. But I figure I’m going to need to apologise a lot for delayed posts, so I’ll just get on with it, shall I? ;) Great Ocean Road. It’s a road. By an ocean. And yep, it’s pretty great. Better than great, it was stunning. I can … Continue reading
Food and drink is my procrastination
Second blog post of the day! ON A ROLL. This one will be a general one. Great Ocean Road blog post will be next, and I’m going to have to summon more enthusiasm for that one, seeing as it was amazing. I’m not sure if you knew, but I’m actually here at a university. Monash … Continue reading
