I started this blog when I was studying in Australia in 2012, but I knew next to nothing about blogging. I forgot to post on it, I wasn’t very informative or descriptive and I would post about something weeks after it happened, like when I wrote about the Great Ocean Road. I’m not sure I … Continue reading
Cities are like relationships. I meet a place, get some first impressions – like I would a boy. I get to know a place, get some surprises or confirm my thoughts – like I would a boy. And just like I’ve gone and go through highs and lows with my personal relationships with boyfriends past … Continue reading
Pssst…. pssssssssssst… a little bit closer… Ok. I’ll confess something: I went to the London Coffee Festival and I’m not a full coffee convert. I prefer tea and the smell of black coffee upsets me. Now, before you hate me, call me traitor and burn me as a witch, I have tried. I live in … Continue reading
Somewhere in St Kilda, tucked away in a warm, cozy froth of whipped cream and succulent fruity tarts, is Acland Cake Shop/Acland Cakes. It was here, along with the beach and laidback, just-here-to-have-a-good-time vibe that started my infatuation with St Kilda. “I want to live here one day” I believe were the words I uttered … Continue reading

As Australia Day ends for the Aussies, I’ll continue the love on the other side of the world, here in the UK. These are some of my favourite photos I took in Australia, and with them came the best experiences of my life. Enjoy :) The people I met made this country … Continue reading
It’s hard to be away from home when you’re travelling or living elsewhere for a long time – I realised that soon after I got off the plane when I landed in Melbourne, ready to study there for half a year. When I got to my new room at three in the morning (it doesn’t … Continue reading
I say snooping, because I’m probably not cool or “hip” enough to be around here. But this is where I got my internship, so here I am, exploring the streets of Shoreditch whether the trendsetters like it or not! I should note: I actually quite like Shoreditch and have been meaning to go on some … Continue reading
Melbourne isn’t known for its beaches (all the more reason to dive a little deeper), but the wonderful world of Oz is. When I lived there, I was eager to explore what was on offer in the city. I knew I couldn’t surf in Melbourne (booooo!) but I took great memories from its beaches. … 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
