A Week in Australia’s Red Centre
17 December 2024Along with the Sydney Opera House and Great Barrier Reef, Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) has to be one of the most iconic sights in Australia. One of those places I’ve seen photos of forever! It’s not the easiest to get to, being slap bang in the middle of such a vast country. And a very hot, dry desert region of it at that! But I knew I had to include it in my Australia trip and was able to join a small group tour through work. While Uluru may be the most famous, it actually shares its national…
Weekend in Noosa | Australia
I planned my Australia trip so long ago now that I can’t even remember how I learned about some of the places I decided to visit (besides the obvious ones like Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef). Somewhere along the…
Highlights of Brisbane | Australia
So, technically I’m going to cover Brisbane and Gold Coast in this post, but there’ll definitely be more about the former! Disclaimer: Gold Coast was not my vibe. Anyways, the next part of my Australia trip, after my New South…
Sydney to Byron Bay | Australia
The East Coast of Australia seems to be the quintessential stomping ground of every backpacker visiting the country. Or at least, every backpacker I met in the many hostels I stayed in. Side note: I’m so over staying in hostels…
A Week in Sydney | Australia
Growing up, there were various iconic monuments around the world that I always saw photos of. Places like the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Canyon, the Great Wall of China. Places that have been so surreal to get to see in…
Great Ocean Road Trip | Australia
After a busy week of sightseeing and socialising in Melbourne, I was headed out to see more of Victoria for the weekend. The Great Ocean Road is one of the most famous road trips in Australia. Think winding drives, beachside…
Highlights of Melbourne | Australia
My time in Melbourne was a whirlwind! After arriving on the Overland Train from Adelaide, I had a work-week in the city, with five afternoons/evenings to explore, before departing again at the weekend. It also turns out I know more…
Highlights of Adelaide | Australia
After launching into my Australia trip all guns blazing with a weekend on Kangaroo Island, things slowed down again the following week. As with much of my travel in Canada and the USA last year, I’m still working remotely as…
Weekend on Kangaroo Island | Australia
It’s time! I’ve arrived! I’m in Australia! Of course, while living in New Zealand and after finishing my Pacific Island trips, I had to visit Oz while I’m on this side of the world. I’m spending just under two months…
A Week in Vanuatu
When I chose which Pacific Islands to visit while living in New Zealand, Vanuatu was high on my list. I only know one other person who has been, a friend from work, who highly recommended it. I knew very little…
Highlights of Fiji
After my adventures in Samoa, I was ready for more Pacific Island exploring while it’s winter in New Zealand. My heart was set on a Vanuatu trip with work, and wouldn’t you know it, there are no direct flights from…
