Long term solo travel on a budget.
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. Think vast plains and active volcanoes, snowy mountains and black sand beaches, ancient history and a landscape that inspired some eerie folklore. While it’s best visited in the summer if you want rolling green hills and a... Continue Reading →
I previously wrote a post on things every traveller hates to hear, but us travellers are just as bad for talking sh*t. We want everyone to think our lives are perfect, but trust me, they aren't. If there's a traveller in your life and you want to know how they really feel, here are your answers.... Continue Reading →
For some, New Year's Eve is a special night; you get dressed up, go to a party, drink champagne, #newyearnewme. For others, it's just an excuse to get drunk and break those new year resolutions before they've even begun, don't act like you don't all do that occasionally. As a bartender, I've always been stuck... Continue Reading →

If you don't already know what a whale shark is, let me educate you. About whale sharks The whale shark is a slow, graceful filter-feeding shark... 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 →
