Seeing the sights, telling the stories, one spot at at time

The Hoboken Arts and Music Festival is held each Spring and Fall on Washington St, in Hoboken New Jersey. I was fortunate enough to attend during my first ever trip to New York in 2007. Random traveller luck would have me meet a Hoboken Native …
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 …
All this world cup fever has me lusting to visit Brazil, and especially Rio De Janeiro. This city has been on my bucket list for a long long time. Well before I even began serious ‘Overseas Travel’ (which was in 2005, just for trivia’s sake). …
I had the joy of visiting Cottesloe Beach on the outskirts of Perth in April for a friend’s wedding. We decided to stay for 4 days and make the most of this sleepy seaside town. A location this close to the Sydney CBD would be …
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 …
In the middle of my 2 week sojourn through Vietnam we arrived at the quaint riverside town of Hoi An. A historic, heritaged listed attraction, Hoi An is popular on the tourist trail and it was easy to see why. Famous for custom designed and …
I’m not a backpack sort of girl. Or a money belt (though my recent lost passport experience may change that). I get that the everyday travel bag is a totally personal decision – whether you like a tiny clutch, a bumbag (‘fanny pack’), day backpack …
In summer it’s hard to keep a good find a secret. I’m sure the locals of Vaucluse have been enjoying the stunning beach that is Shark Bay, but in the recent summers you have to fight for a carpark and a spot on the sand …
They talk about people from different cultures having different food, clothing, ceremonies, languages, even events. One thing they do not often talk about is, different bathroom habits. Now anyone who has travelled will be nodding their head knowingly, having flashbacks to some ‘hole in the …
A road trip down to Port Arthur was broken up by stopping to see some lovely coastal sites. As quoted here by wikipedia: The rugged coastline has been the scene of a number of shipwrecks. Two large seagoing steamers have sunk after hitting the Hyppolyte …
I have celebrated New Year’s Eve in different places around the globe, here are a few of the memorable ones. Tarthra, South Coast NSW, Australia. A beachside house with friends, a trip to the local pub. Homestay, Sabah, Borneo. Local dancing show and …
Prague is a beautiful city, with many sites to see including Charles Bridge with the gargoyles and market stalls, the Astronomical Clock, Prague Castle with the stained glass windows, St Vitus Cathedral, St Wenceslas Square and visiting a theatre for some classical music or ballet. …
Part of the huge temple complex that is Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm is one of the most visited places, a beautiful temple, bound by massive roots of huge trees. It’s enchanting, ancient, eerie and peaceful all at the same time. Made famous by Angelina …
I have been visiting Little Beach since I was born. Family members have a holiday house on the street leading to the 750m walk to the Beach. The house is affectionately named within the family as simply ‘little beach’. eg ‘when are we staying at …
1. Take a Fat Tyre bike tour. An awesome introduction to this great city. 2. Walk around the area near Checkpoint Charlie, reading the inscriptions where the wall used to stand. 3. Get lost and reflect in the maze created by the inspiring ‘Memorial for …
