To follow on from my Rooftop Cities post, I thought it was a good moment to appreciate the untouched views around us (from a bit of a height to keep the trend). After all, I think the nature around us is the most beautiful thing of all, and one of the aspects of travel that … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I love rooftop bars – cocktail in hand, looking out to the bright lights of any city is something that will always give me a little chill (out of excitement, but maybe from a breeze too). They’re not even just for drinking (see Bussey Building below). I recently went to two … Continue reading
Are you choosing the right friends to go travelling with? I came to find that the people you travel with is a similar decision as picking roommates – just because you’re friends with someone doesn’t mean they’d be great to travel/live with. And boy, have I had some experience with both! There are certain things … Continue reading
Road trips are undeniably fun. And we all know how we envisage them, like a scene out of Crossroads, singing along to Shania Twain in an open top car with Britney Spears… No? Just me? Anyway, so road trips are a great way to travel, but there are some things to always remember. I’ve road … Continue reading
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 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
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
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
