After my surprise visit to Melbourne, I boarded my return flight back to Sydney to start my east coast trip all the way up to Cairns. Except this time I wasn’t surprising anyone, I was en route to get a PLANNED cuddle from my gal I hadn’t seen since my exchange year in Sweden in… Continue reading Once upon a time in Wollongong…
I’m currently in a room completely surrounded by backpackers sprawled out on any surface available, heads bent, earphones in whilst simultaneously massaging the carpel tunnel out their thumbs from frantically scrawling away in their journals...meanwhile the procrastinator inside of me is idly glancing around in a sort of feigned calmness. Inside however, I’m actually having… Continue reading Radio silence from the land down under…
It’s actually unbelievable that a mere two weeks ago I was sitting on the plane, watching the crystal clear Fiji ocean disappear beneath me as I climbed higher and higher into the clouds en route towards my next destination. Since arriving in Australia, every day so far has been absolutely pandemonium so it’s been impossible… Continue reading Just do it, girl
If you also follow me on Instagram (@jetsetmegs_) you’ll no doubt have seen the torrent of photos I’ve been uploading of the whitest sand beaches with the clearest waters full of the most colourful sea life you have EVER seen. And for those who’ve spotted the location tags you’ll also know where they were taken.… Continue reading Bula Bula
Now before you all start, I actually wrote this post a WHILE ago but since Fiji doesn’t believe in WiFi stronger than 2mbps it was pretty much impossible to upload or download anything bigger than a snapchat or a WhatsApp message. Now that I’m back in ‘civilisation’ with hot showers, edible food and most importantly… Continue reading Hong Kong gone wrong…
Alright. From now on I’ve made a promise to myself that I’ll start doing regular updates on here rather than constantly trying to remember everything days, even weeks, after they've happened. You don’t realise how much stuff you're able to cram into the space of 2 weeks until you sit down and try to condense… Continue reading Back in ‘Nam
I have some free time right now while I wait on my coffee being brought to my table (its already been 10 minutes, and I ordered a double shot of caffeine so I reckon another 10 more should do the trick...there’s no hurrying here in Asia!) so I figured now would be the perfect time… Continue reading Welcome to Vietnam!
Picking up from where I left off last time, I did say I’d be writing an entire blog post based on my experience at the Killing fields of Choeung Ek and as a forewarning, this probably won’t be an easy read for most of you. It has actually taken quite some time to get around… Continue reading Choeung Ek Killing Fields: Pol Pot & The Khmer Rouge
After saying our goodbyes at Thai Time hostel in Chiang Mai, April and I made our way to the bus that would take us back down to Bangkok. We then swapped buses (I WISH it was as easy as I’ve made it sound...) and continued over the border into Cambodia. Our first stop here would… Continue reading Cambodia: tears, temples and terrible dictators
For various reasons, I had decided to postpone the elephant jungle sanctuary until after I came back from Pai. To be honest, I was exhausted after the train from Bangkok and I really didn’t want to rush into anything or book anywhere just for the sake of it. When it comes to choosing a reputable… Continue reading Chiang Mai Elephant Jungle Sanctuary
