It’s been a pretty wet and rainy week here at Honeycomb Valley and I’m left wondering where my Australian summer has gone? For the last 3 days the rain has poured down on us, and while it is very good for the fields and gardens, it’s not so good for my tan! Those of you … More Photo Of The Week: Rain, Rain, Go Away
Now, I would never describe myself as a country girl (growing up in London will do that to you), but over the last few years I’ve spent less time living in big cities, and more time living in remote, rural areas (like that time I lived on top of a mountain in France, or those … More Living The Farm Life
This week has been another one full of learning curves and awesome fun on the farm. I am loving farm life so much (I will write a post about it soon, I promise) – the people who work here are awesome, the hours are great (8am-3pm), there is a pool I can play in, an … More Photo Of The Week: Meet Nick.

After our not-so-successful stay at Hump Backpackers, we decided to give somewhere else a try for our last week in Sydney, so after scouring a few hostel comparison sites, we settled upon the Sydney Central Backpackers hostel, in a great location just round the corner from the hustle and bustle of Kings Cross’ main strip, … More Hostel Review: Sydney Central Backpackers, Sydney, Australia
This week has been full of firsts. First time living on a farm, first time feeding all the animals, first time milking a goat, first time opening the shop, and the list goes on. I’ve already learnt so much about farm life and it’s been a fantastic start to our 3 month stay at Honeycomb … More Photo Of The Week: A Misty Vineyard

By the look of their logo I’m guessing they’re trying to reference a humpback(packing) whale, but even so, I don’t really get it, although seeing as they are located in the … More Hostel Review: Hump Backpackers, Sydney, Australia
**Disclaimer: This started out as a very sensible post about how my attitude to travelling has changed over the years but somewhere along the way it turned into a brain splurge of thoughts and feelings about my travelling life. It may not make much sense. Also, it is long. Read at your own will. I’ve … More The Most Honest Post I’ve Ever Written: Help?! I Think I’m A Travelling Snob.
So I’m gonna tell you all now that I am absolutely 100% certain that I have massively overspent this month, but to be honest I’m not hugely bothered about it because I just had such a spectacular month! I got back from Mauritius in early January and then went straight into working at Camp Blue … More Monthly Spending Summary: January ’14
It’s been pretty hectic since returning to Sydney after our awesome week away in Byron Bay and the Gold Coast – we’ve spent most of our time manically searching for our farm work and, once we’d found the place we will be spending the next 3 months (it’s gonna be freaking awesome…more on this to … More Photo Of The Week: Let’s Go To The Beach, Beach
Last time I was in Byron Bay (way back in January 2012) I stayed at Byron Beach Resort and loved it, but this time I was visiting with a bigger group of friends and we wanted to be a little closer to town for nights out etc, so we ended up choosing Backpackers Inn because … More Hostel Review: Backpackers Inn, Byron Bay, Australia
