    Long Weekend in Perth | Australia

    Australia is big, and Western Australia is the biggest state in it. I mean, it’s a third of the entire country! I explored a fair amount of the other states when I was in Australia last year, but I didn’t…

    Weekend in the Whitsundays | Australia

    Ok, technically I wasn’t in the Whitsundays all weekend. I was in Airlie Beach, which is the gateway to the Whitsundays on mainland Australia. Staying on the islands themselves is well beyond my budget, though I did splurge a little…

    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…
