A recap of my adventures in the month of October October was a busy month, albeit a bit wet in Sydney! With two weeks of holiday and a long weekend, there were some great days and nights to be had. Read on for my monthly recap. …
Sydney is wet at the moment. Very wet. It has been pouring on and off all month. It has to be one of the wettest Octobers on record. And the rain has been ruining plans, as it does. Weddings, parties, picnics, open studios, sport… all …
ON THIS DAY IN 2005 We had a huge day on the bus as we drove from Venice, Italy to Vienna, Austria. Our lunch stop featured the biggest and best serve of schnitzel, so yummy! Once we arrived in Vienna we had a 20 minute …
A recap of my adventures in the month of September Spring has sprung! We had some good weather, and some much needed rain. I had a few events on – birthdays, kitchen teas, catch ups, dance concerts. And the rest of the year is set …
ON THIS DAY IN 2005 I was exploring the ancient city of Pompei, on my first big overseas trip with Contiki Tours. It was a short tour of the ruins and a quick bite of lunch before continuing our drive to Bari to get the ferry …
A recap of my adventures in the month of August A busy little month! Birthday and celebration season has begun, with a trip down the coast for a friend’s major birthday (not saying which zero number)… Plus some other outings. Read on for my monthly …
A trip to the island of Bali and Ubud would not be complete without visiting the Ubud Monkey forest. I was looking forward to it. Cute monkeys! Baby monkeys! OMG we can feed the monkeys! Then I remembered my past monkey experiences and the tales …
I had such a great time in Western Samoa! We spent a few days on the island of Upolu and a few days on the other major island, Savaii. Samoa makes for a great holiday destination in the Pacific – for adventure seekers, couples and …

A recap of my adventures in the month of June Winter has arrived in Sydney, and as I adjust to living in an old house (brrrr cold!) we had a busy month, with a nice long weekend in the middle (urgh sick) and three different …
Lake Titicaca was one of those places I had dreamed about going. A far off place I had learnt about through my schooling days, or maybe at university. The highest lake in the world? Sounds like a sight I need to see. I made it …
I like to be very prepared when I travel. Very prepared! I make lists, have thousands of mini bags and containers and literally think of everything. I have my travel essentials covered. If you are doing a big trip, say 4 weeks or longer, or …

Everyone loves a llama. Sure they might spit and be a scary cousin to the camel, but they really are super cool. Ditto Alpacas. Before my month in South America I was like, “Oh, maybe I’ll see some Llamas? Might see one in the wild…” …
I love this shot! Taken on a beach in Koh Samoi, Thailand, at a typical beach party. The beach party scene is not really my thing. Not because I don’t like drinking and dancing, but the whole ‘drunken tourist in Thailand’ display really doesn’t sit …
Sydney’s Northern Beaches are an absolute dream destination for sunshine, beaches, surfers and swimming. The numerous suburbs that snake up the peninsula are designed for beach side living. I may sound a bit biased, but seeing as I live here now, I guess I can …
A recap of my adventures in the month of April What a month! There weren’t that many adventures to have as most of my April was consumed by moving… such a stressful experience. But it’s worth it to be in a house, (no longer an …

1. Eureka Sky Deck A great way to get a feel for the funky city of Melbourne is to take in the views at the Eureka Sky Deck 88. Take the lift (fastest in the southern hemisphere) to the eighty-eighth floor to get panoramic views …
I love buying souvenirs while I travel. However, my suitcase or backpack does not love when I buy things while I travel. It has been known for me to buy an extra bag while overseas, or enlist others to help me sit on and close …
