Seeing the sights, telling the stories, one spot at at time
You know that feeling when you feel out of your comfort zone, and doing something seems so daunting that you think you might pass? That thought crossed my mind as I started descending the stairs to the To Sua trench in Western Samoa. The ladder …
A recap of my adventures in the month of February February… the short month where work is back and craziness begins. So not as many adventures this month. Highlight was definitely seeing Queen with Adam Lambert, what a great show! Read on! SYDNEY DAY OUT …
We all know that some travellers (eg: me) like to take photographs of random things while on the road exploring. Some of the more obscure things people might like are coffee cups, doorways and lamp posts. I also cannot pass up an opportunity to snap …
A recap of my adventures in the month of January January is my holiday month! Nearly all of the month on holidays… perfect time for relaxing, trips away, beach days and rest. As seen below! Read on! BEACH TRIPS I spent many of …
If you are visiting Peru I highly recommend visiting Huacachina. Pronounced Wah-Ka-Cheena, this amazing oasis town is in the middle of a vast network of sand dunes. And sand dunes means two things – dune buggy rides and sand boarding! Even though I had spent …
On my recent trip to South America I visited Chile’s Atacama Desert and especially the Valley of the Moon, or as the locals say “Valle de la Luna”. We had an organised tour arranged for the valley, which finished with sunset. After driving around the …
A recap of my adventures in the month of December Well what a busy month! Despite having a very busy end of year with work, and a severe flare up of rashes and bites (Thank you South America) I still managed to cram in …
You don’t really know what to expect at 5000m altitude. I certainly didn’t expect to come across an active sulfur area, complete with roaring geysers. But that is what we found as we climbed to the highest altitude I have ever reached, in the altiplano …
If you visit Peru, I recommend a trip to the sand dunes and oasis town of Huacachina. We had a very enjoyable afternoon of riding in a sand buggy and riding sand boards down these amazing dunes!
The Greek Islands should be on everyone’s bucket list. You could seriously spend a few months traversing to all the islands, there is just so much choice! I had the best time sailing around for one week on a G Adventures tour. Here are my …
I am not a huge fan of backpacks for day exploring while travelling. I know they are practical, but I’ve always thought they looked daggy and I got annoyed at constantly having to take it off my back and swinging it around to get things …
On our recent trip to Melbourne we took a day trip out to Brighton to see the famous Brighton Beach Boxes, beach changing huts. The narrow beach at Brighton, officially Dendy Street Beach is adorned with 82 colourful painted beach huts which were mainly built …
This is the path I take every weekend as I descend down 100+ stairs to the beach. Coming up is always a killer, especially on my dodgy knees (seriously concerned about Inca Trail in 60 or so days…). However painful the post beach climb is, …
I feel so lucky every time I visit Mollymook, on the NSW South Coast. That means I feel lucky a lot as I tend to visit about 4 times a year, seeing as my parents have retired nearby. The South Coast of NSW features some …
Clearly there are more than 9 things to do in Paris than what I am going to list here. And to keep things interesting, I am not going to list the big 5; The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triompe, Notre Dame Cathedral and the …
I love this quote by Confuscius. It’s a good mantra for travelling, no matter where you go, there you are. It reminds you to be so present in the moment of travel. I love nothing more than taking everything in, sights, smells, experiences. Every smile, …
A trip to the Canadian Rockies should be on everyone’s bucket list. Whether summer or winter, skiing or hiking the sights are truly amazing. So amazing that like cathedrals and castles in Europe, mosques and pagodas in Asia – you can become a little complacent. …
Whilst staying and exploring the areas of Seminyak, Legian, Chengu and Batu Belig in Bali I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fantastic cafes, bars, restaurants and clubs on offer. It’s seriously a foodie’s dream and the prices are so reasonable! You forget you’re …
We loved visiting the Szechenyi Baths in Budapest. We discovered them on our self guided walk around Budapest and its parks. We decided to revisit and have a swim on our last afternoon in Budapest, just before boarding an overnight train to Poland. A perfect …
Vegas! It seems like the ultimate destination. Like New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London, Las Vegas gets so much publicity, both from a travel and entertainment viewpoint. I had seen the sights of Vegas on many TV shows and movies so I was super, …
