Seeing the sights, telling the stories, one spot at at time
One of my favourite things to photograph when travelling around the world is weird and wacky signs. Asia always has a smorgasbord of sign opportunities, especially when translating signs into English for tourists. On my first afternoon in Beijing, China, I noticed this very specific …
On our recent trip to Hawaii, we stayed in a flipkey accommodation on the Puna Coast near Pahoa. On a Wednesday night, after seeing the black sand beach at Kaimu and visiting the night markets, I drove the long way home up Highway 137, also …
We had just arrived in Split, Croatia, 9pm. We were looking forward to spending the next 2 days sightseeing around the Diocletian’s Palace and taking frequent dips in the stunning blue Adriatic sea. As soon as we arrived at the hostel we met our other roommates. Despite being 10pm …
Harris Park in Sydney’s west, next to Parramatta has a lot of Indian Restaurants. A LOT. It has a very high Indian population and the streets around the railway station, especially Wigram St, have so many restaurants as well as local grocers and Indian fusion …
Recently we visited Minamurra Rainforest in Jamberoo, South Coast NSW. As we are often driving down the coast to my parents house I keep scouting out different (free!) things to do on the way to break up the 3 hour or so drive. Off the …
Like any girl who enjoys shopping, cute things, stationery and shops like Daiso, I love cute and kitsch luggage tags. I love when I have something really unique. What I don’t love is how often I have to replace my luggage tags because they get ripped, …
While in Shanghai, my friends and I decided to go on a search for Yang’s dumpling. My culinary extraordinaire friend had read about them in a review… and with a vague knowledge of the street name we set off! We had already walked about 15 …
The flights are booked! Less than 100 days to go. I am off to Hawaii in April. Hawaii has definitely been much more on my radar in the last three or so years as a ‘Bucket List’ destination. I’ve been lusting over people’s holiday posts …
On a clear day, the views as you drive the coast from Wellington up the Kapiti Coast are pretty spectacular. The highway weaves around the coast and you are treated to views of the Pacific Ocean and Kapiti Island.
I’ve never been a really big fan of hats. Well I love hats but I don’t actually think I look that good in them. I usually don’t pack them for holidays, truth be told. But then I end up buying them all over the …
1. Eat awesome dumplings! I am not a huge dumpling fan, I find them a bit slimy in texture, but we had pan fried dumplings at Yang’s Dumplings, and they were awesome! Worth the wait and the queue. 2. Catch the Maglev, the magnetic levitating …
The Artist and I spent a gorgeous two nights staying in a little motel in San Clemente, Orange County, California. We lazed by the beach, slept in, wandered the main street shops and ate bread (due to both of us suffering from a bad stomach …
On our epic drive down the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles, we stopped in for a quick visit to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. A film scene from one of my all time favourite movies ‘The Lost Boys’ I was keen to feel …
China is such a big place, and in 3 weeks I only saw a tiny part of it. I did hit up all the major tourist attractions and was super excited – ticking off my bucket list The Great Wall of China and The Terracotta …
Anyone who does long haul flights realises just how different the sleep portion of the flight can be with the right neck pillow. Or if you are like me the ‘eyes are closed and trying to sleep but cannot sleep’ portion of the flight. I …

I just love that redbubble have branched out from print products (cards, wall art, calendars) to make iphone cases, throw pillows and tote bags. What a great souvenir of your travels! Instead of putting photos in an album you can upload them to a redbubble profile …
1. Alcatraz! ‘The rock’ is a great day trip, the audio tour head set thingy is very interesting. Plus the ferry ride is great! 2. Segway tours… 3 hours of cruising fun, we booked with city segway tours. 3. Eat seafood chowder and shrimp down …
