When people visit Australia they tend to visit cities like Sydney and Melbourne, myself included. I never visited Brisbane while I lived in Australia, only later when I went back, but I quickly realized my mistake. Brisbane is a thriving, exciting city with so much to offer. These Instagram worthy places in Brisbane will prove […]
Sydney is such a cool city with so much to do, but since a lot of it is outdoors it leaves some people stumped when it rains. If you’re looking for things to do in Sydney on a rainy weekend then you’re in luck – I traveled to Sydney three times and it rained twice! […]
Busselton may be a small town in Western Australia, but it quickly grabbed my heart. Although small, there are so many amazing places to visit in Busselton and I couldn’t be happier we decided to go. We probably wouldn’t have gone to Busselton at all had a family friend not lived there and, to be […]
It’s no secret that I love Melbourne so we go back as frequently as possible. On this last visit we began and ended our Australia trip in Melbourne at the Grand Hyatt and I was absolutely not disappointed.

While I have always loved Sydney, Melbourne has a whole lot of character and has some incredible things to do, see and taste. This ultimate guide to Melbourne […]
It’s no secret that I love Australia and the year I spent traveling there was one of the best I’ve ever had. Because Australia is so far away from, well, everything, there’s a lot of misinformation out there and many stereotypes surrounding the country, like videos of giant snakes coming out of your drain. Australia […]
When people come to visit Australia they go to Sydney, maybe Melbourne, and if they’re feeling really adventurous potentially Darwin or Perth. One city no one seems to ever visit is Canberra and this is something I find quite puzzling. Even Australians tend to put Canberra down and before you call me crazy just hear […]
*Current as of 2018 Long before I ever came to Australia I was obsessed with koalas. Their cute little ears, their furriness, that large black nose and all. Upon moving to Melbourne the first thing I did was research where I could go to hold a koala, and was disappointed to discover there weren’t all that many. […]
