Continuing on from where I left off last time, once we had recuperated in Phoenix, Arizona with a nice comfy bed, a pool and our first ever baseball game (corn dogs& buckets of ice cream included!) we headed west in the direction of LA where we were due to return our rental car a couple… Continue reading West Coast Road Trip Part 2: Grizzly Bears & Zebra Wagons
Flying over and landing in Las Vegas was one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen in my life. One minute you’re flying over a vast nothingness, just bare dessert, and the next you’re soaring over gigantic canyons and toothpaste-coloured salt lakes that hardly look real. And then out of nowhere, you see it.… Continue reading Road Trip USA: National Park Edition
So if you follow me on my instagram or have me on Facebook you’ll have probably noticed I had a little surprise appearance in Scotland at the half way point of my trip...so here’s the story of how all that came about and why I decided to reroute my flight to drop me off in… Continue reading Homeward bound…
As I was organising my New Zealand flights I realised I didn’t actually have any idea how I was going to get around the country - hiring a car or teaming up with people on Facebook backpacker pages was an option as always but I was looking for something different with New Zealand. I wanted… Continue reading Hop aboard the big green kiwi bus !
*cue curtain roll and planet earth jungle tunes* 0-4 years old: we’re pretty much free to do as we please, spending our days sleeping, eating, giggling (in my case, screaming) and just being a cute little dribbly thing. No responsibilities or commitments. We’re new to the world. We’re learning every day and we’re exhausted. Give… Continue reading Societal timelines & where to shove them…
The flight to New Zealand was horrific, I’m not gonna lie. There I was, sitting 30000ft up in the air, on my own, still reeling from the most tears-n-snorterry goodbye I’ve ever had to do. I’d been living in Melbourne for the last month and was growing quite accustomed to having somewhere to “be”. I… Continue reading Kia Ora, Chur Chur, Sweeeet as…
When I left Australia I wasn’t in the best of places to be honest. I was approaching the half way mark of my trip and was beginning to struggle with the idea of continuing on the way I had been for the next 6 months. Having your days jam packed with activities and things to… Continue reading Let’s ramble…
When I first got to Australia it was unreal. I was actually really happy to be in a place where, after 3 months of hopping around, I felt I could begin to relax and settle down in one country for a while. Life started to get a lot easier when I was able to understand… Continue reading I think, maybe…I kinda ran out of steam
First things first. I’m alive, I’m kicking AND I’m full to the brim with stories to share from the past couple of months jet-setting throughout Australia. I've been all the way up the east coast from Melbourne to Cairns, over to Perth on the west coast and all the back down to Melbourne via Adelaide… Continue reading Soggy Dingoes, Mud Fights and Cyclone Nora
Once I’d found my check in desk for Gold Coast, everything started to feel a little bit strange. I was on my own again, wandering back into the world without my wee Ebony to guide me along. For the first time since landing in Australia I was actually by myself...for a grand total of 6… Continue reading To the moon and back…via Nimbin.
