I hadn’t heard of the Grampians before moving to Australia. Like most attractions in Victoria (apart from the Great Ocean Road, Melbourne and Phillip Island), this National Park is virtually unknown to people outside of its home state. When friends in Melbourne suggested we join them to go camping and hiking in the Grampians over […] Read more…
On a cold winter’s weekend last month, I headed to Yulefest in the Blue Mountains, mid-year Christmas celebrations that are held every year in the Blue Mountains town of Katoomba. I may be from the Southern Hemisphere, but after spending several years Christmassing in the colder climes of the Northern Hemisphere, having a BBQ and […] Read more…
Like increasingly more things in my life, our day out in Melbourne was driven by my desire to see kitties. I haven’t been able to have one myself as I have been either living abroad or travelling over the last 11 years, which I think has made me a tad obsessive over every cute kitty […] Read more…
Beautiful Sydney, Australia. You could spend weeks in Sydney and not see everything worth seeing so 5 days in Sydney will never be enough time – although you can cover some of the highlights if that is all you have to work with.

We started the month still at our Morrison housesit for three days before moving to stay with Toby’s brother Fo for my last five nights in Colorado this year. I ticked […] Read more…
Month Twenty Three of my Digital Nomad Life saw me in three different countries but I would still call it a quiet month of working and largely chilling out. I started the month with my last weekend in Auckland, catching up with one of my besties in Cornwall Park and visiting my sister’s tree in […] Read more…
This month is definitely the most boring of my past nine months of travel because, well, I haven’t really been travelling. I started month nine working for three weeks in Sydney covering Reception at a Media Company. I stayed between a couple of friend’s places who very kindly put me up as well as spending […] Read more…
So I missed writing about month seven of my trip as a lot of things were going on in my life. After almost nine years together, Trav and I broke up at the end of January. It has been a really hard time for both of us and I haven’t really felt like writing, or […] Read more…
Month Four saw me back on the road for the first two and a bit weeks before returning home to Sydney for the rest of the month. The first night of month four was my last night in Field. After spending the day cleaning and packing I was off on a night bus to Vancouver, […] Read more…
