For a few months now I haven’t had much going on travel-wise. We can blame that on running out of money and graduating from university – and the exhaustion of trying to find a job that comes with it, of course. BUT… there are plans coming together that I’m very excited to do and write … 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
The oldest, most ancient of the age old questions (ok, maybe not)… Bondi or Manly? For me, this is so startlingly obvious I could dance and skip up and down Manly beach from sunrise to sunset. So I guess I’ve given it away? Everyone raves about Bondi. So naturally I’m sceptical about it. I felt … Continue reading
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
Halong Bay, Vietnam. Postcard from my parents on their World Cruise. They loved this place, and it allures me for a whole host of reasons. I long to experience their culture and immerse myself in the history and gentle grandeur of the temples. The landscape seems so contrasting, yet all with a great connection to … Continue reading
Bali’s one of those places where you dream of the perfect fine-sand beaches, lying in a hammock sandwiched between palm trees overlooking the almost sickeningly shimmering clear sea. So perfect it’s heart-wrenching. Thing is, you have to find this Bali. It’s out there, but when I went there with my boyfriend, we didn’t see as … 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
