Having stayed in two different Base hostels and not having had positive experiences at either, we were pretty dubious about staying at the Base on Magnetic Island, for obvious reasons. But, having been assured by friends who’d stayed there before that it was a great place, we decided to bite the bullet and give it … More Hostel Review: Base, Magnetic Island
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?

I’d never been before, even after living in Cornwall for 3 years, so was curious to see what all the fuss was about…I think it definitely lived up to the hype. It … More Photo Of The Week: The Eden Project, Cornwall
Falmouth is my home. At least for now anyway. And the best part about living here is that as soon as the sun comes out and the weather warms up, everyone heads straight to the beach. I took this photo last summer, and for me it represents everything I love about Cornwall, with its sunny … More Photo Of The Week: Gylly Beach, Falmouth
Last summer I went to Glastonbury Festival for the first time and it definitely lived up to the expectations. It was such an incredible few days, and I saw so many amazing bands, the favourites definitely being Mumford & Sons at the John Peel Stage. One of the best moment though, was watching this sunset … More Photo of the Week: Glastonbury 2010
