Long term solo travel on a budget.
After spending just 11 days in the middle of Sri Lanka climbing rocks and towers, going on an elephant safari, riding that famous blue train, hiking Adam's Peak for sunrise, and exploring Ella I was more than ready to spend the rest of my month on the stunning beaches along the south coast! There are... Continue Reading →
The east coast of Tasmania is perfect for those in need of a beach holiday, in stark contrast to the misty mountains of the west coast. It's an almost never-ending string of golden sand, turquoise waves and rolling hills. You'll find dramatic coastline, seaside breweries and the most scenic prison you'll ever see, just keep...

I can't think of a more famous drive in Australia than the Great Ocean Road. It officially stretches 243km from Torquay to Allansford but a lot of people will make the drive from Melbourne to Adelaide over a week or two. Think endless beaches, dramatic cliffs and the world-famous Twelve Apostles. This is one you... Continue Reading →
What better way to start the new year than road tripping in a fancy Jeep with two amazing people after spending a firework-filled night down at Sydney Harbour? We packed up all of our camping equipment (more like glamping, we had an actual barbeque and a ton of fairy lights) and hit the road, heading... Continue Reading →

If it was its own country it would be in the Top 10 biggest countries in the world, you could fit England inside it 20 times, or Texas 4 times. Most of the population lives in Perth which is...

After driving around 1,300km north in 8 days to swim with whale sharks it was finally time to turn around and make our way back home as fast as possible so Nigel the Nissan didn't cost us any more money. It was an impossibly long, boring and uneventful drive made marginally more exciting with the random... Continue Reading →
We left Shark Bay and made our way even further north, passing through Carnarvon and wishing we had a 4x4 to explore the dramatic Gascoyne Coast along Gnaraloo Road, but we had a Nissan Micra, so we stuck to the highway and ended up in Coral Bay. Seriously, rent a 4x4 if you can afford... Continue Reading →
If you're heading south from Perth and wondering how far east to go... the answer is Esperance, or more specifically Cape Le Grand National Park and its breathtakingly beautiful coastline. Rolling hills, white sand, turquoise surf and kangaroos, what more could you want?
Driving the 116km from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin will only take you an hour and a half, but give yourself a full day to explore. You'll see lighthouses (from afar unless you're paying), gorgeous and secluded beaches, some neat rocks, a few spooky caves and endless wineries for you to visit throughout the Margaret...
