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
5 weeks in New Zealand – Rented a campervan and drove from Auckland to Christchurch and everywhere else in between
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.
This week has been an interesting one. And when I say interesting, I mean rainy…really rainy. So what do you do when it’s raining and you have very little money? Why, go to a free museum of course! The Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane (or GoMA for short) is a pretty cool place, with … More Photo Of The Week: “Polka Dots Are The Way To Infinity”
1. Stay at Byron Beach Resort (BB). 2. Learn to surf (BB or SP). 3. Walk to the Lighthouse (BB). 4. Dance the night away at Cheeky Monkeys bar/restaurant/club (BB). 5. Book something through Wicked Travel…and then get to use their computers and Internet for free! (BB).
Upon arrival at Surfers Paradise Backpackers Resort you will be greeted with a smile and a guide on what the hostel has to offer…which is a lot. Not only is there a swimming pool and a fully licensed bar (with sofas and tv), but there is also a big tv room, ping pong and pool … More Hostel Review: Backpackers Resort, Surfers Paradise
This could be para, para, paradise…or not. Our last few days in Byron were pretty epic, with some fun in the sun, a couple of great nights out and, best of all, a big BBQ with our new friends on our last day. Then it was off to Surfers Paradise which, although only an hour … More Surfers Paradise?
When we first arrived in Byron Bay it was raining, and it continued to rain for the next 4 days, so it was really going to take something special to make me fall in love with the place. And that something special was Byron Beach Resort. Situated about 15-20 minutes walk from the main town, … More Hostel Review: Byron Beach Resort, Byron Bay
This week in Byron Bay we became friends with a couple of people from our hostel and yesterday we decided to have a big Aussie BBQ…the sun shone, the food was yum and it was a great way to say goodbye to our new friends as we moved on to our next destination this morning.
Okay, so the word ‘sunny’ in the title of this post might be a little misleading as the sun didn’t actually come out until yesterday. Yep, that’s right, we’re in Byron Bay, surfing capital of Australia’s East Coast, and it rained, poured, tipped it down for 4 days straight! Fun huh? Not. Well it hasn’t … More Sunny Days In Byron Bay
After the luxury and ease of Wake Up, we were a little aprehensive about our move to the (slightly cheaper) Base Backpackers Hostel, about 15 minutes walk away on Kent Street. And as much as I’d like to say we were proved wrong…I really can’t. I mean, Base is nice enough, the people are friendly, … More Hostel Review: Base Backpackers, Sydney
Last week ended with a pretty epic visit to our friend Bulmer’s farm, where we rode quad bikes, rounded up some cows, saw a brand new baby calf (literally about an hour old!), went out for dinner, played some drinking games and generally had a wicked time. It was awesome to get out of the … More Last Days In Sydney
Rosa and I spent our last week in Sydney mostly just chilling and catching up with friends. This photos is from our last night in the city when we went out for drinks with our friends Andrew, Scott and Jen to Opera Bar to watch the sunset…a great way to end our stay on a … More Photo Of The Week: Out And About In Sydney
