From November 2011 until September 2012 I travelled around the world…this was the itinerary:
6 weeks in SE Asia – Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
2 and half months in Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Bryon Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane,, Fraser Island, Whitsundays, Townsville, Magnetic Island & Cairns

2 weeks in Fiji – FeeJee Experience around the main land and then a bit of island hopping
Finally 1 month in the USA, travelling from West to East Coast and back to Camp Sloane for the summer.

For the last couple of day’s I’ve been stranded on an island…Fraser Island that is. I went on a guided self-drive tour for three days and two nights and it was absolutely epic! I met some awesome people, and saw some incredible things…who could ask for a better week?
We didn’t actually have a choice about staying at Palace, as it was where our Fraser Island tour was run from, so we got the nights before and after our trip included. However, it does also run as a standalone hostel and in my opinion it’s a pretty good one. Okay so it’s not the … More Hostel Review: Palace Backpackers, Hervey Bay
After our relaxing few days in Rainbow Beach, we were more than ready for a bit of adventure on Fraser Island! We got the bus mid-afternoon and arrived in Hervey Bay a couple of hours later, having already met a couple of girls on the bus who would be doing our Fraser tour with us. … More Revving It On Fraser Island
When you step off the bus in Rainbow Beach, you’ll see three hostels across the road, Fraser, Dingoes and Pippies. These are the only three hostels in Rainbow, so your choices are limited, but actually this is probably a good thing, as it means they are all well kept, with competitive prices. For a four … More Hostel Review: Pippies Beachhouse, Rainbow Beach
We arrived in Rainbow Beach on Friday afternoon, and after 3 amazing days out in the bush in Noosa we were absolutely exhausted. So our first night was spent just cooking dinner and chilling out in the hammocks at our hostel, Pippies Beachhouse. On Saturday we had a lovely lie in, after a proper night’s … More No Rain In Rainbow Beach!
After over a month spent in Australia, seeing mainly just cities and beaches, we were craving something different…a new adventure with new experiences. And that is exactly what we found at Gagaju Bush Camp, just half an hour’s drive out of central Noosa. We were picked up from Noosa bus station by Alan, the resident … More Back To Basics In Noosa
This week we headed to Noosa for a break from cities and beaches…when I say we went to Noosa I really mean we went to stay in the bush, far away from civilisation for three days of camping and canoeing in the Everglades. Bliss.
Our last few days in Surfers Paradise were much of the same. The rain didn’t let up until Thursday, which just happened to be Australia Day, so we headed to the beach to meet Eugene and Lucas, our friends from Byron Bay. It was a sweet afternoon, just spent chilling with friends in the (tiny … More Crazy/Lazy Days In Brisbane
1. Visit the Gallery of Modern Art. 2. Go to the Queensland Museum. 3. Wander around the Southbank (and go to the markets on a weekend). 4. Watch all the dancers rehearsing on the Southbank. 5. Visit Streets Beach on the Southbank (as you can probably tell, I really quite liked the Southbank!)…there’s a man-made … More Top 10 Things To Do In Brisbane
