Part of me thought maybe I could just casually start posting again and not mention my SECOND hiatus since covid, but I figured that was the easy way out. Realistically, I don’t even really know why I stopped writing last year. Life was busy for sure, but it was more that when I jumped back […]
The pandemic has changed so much of my life, a lot for the better, some for the worse. I desperately miss frolicking around the world with ease and no worries, but being stuck in Australia for the better part of two years has forced me to start exploring in my own backyard. I have often […]
In early 2019 I found myself fresh out of a break-up and in need of some epic adventures to help me rebuild a bit of self-confidence. That failed relationship had been an emotionally abusive one and left me feeling quite negatively about myself – especially regarding my appearance. So, when my number one hype man […]
Back in 2018, I ended a four month backpacking trip with a week-long road trip around Oman. Oman is oft referred to as the ‘jewel of the middle east’ and it is incredibly easy to see why. Sinkholes, endless sand dunes and incredible wadis were just the beginning. Here are the most wonderful things I […]
After our adventures in the Danakil, we had limited time left on our respective adventures. I had to get to Madagascar in time to visit the gorgeous Miavana by Time + Tide, and Chelsea had plans to fly back to South Africa. Most people would choose one destination to explore properly with their last few […]
I don’t know where I first learned about the Danakil Depression. For so many places, I remember the Instagram posts, the blogs and the documentaries that have inspired me to visit, but the Danakil? No clue. All I do know is that I can remember wanting to visit this unique corner of the globe since […]
In December of 2018, I spent a week driving around the jewel of the Middle East – Oman. I have done some absolutely phenomenal road trips in my life, and in one short week, Oman became one of the best places I had ever road tripped. Sinkholes, wadi’s, endless desert and incredible forts are just […]
Happy new year everybody! I truly hope 2022 is a better year for all of us. If I am being honest, 2021 has been quite a hard year for me. I have changed jobs multiple times, moved cities, had multiple surgeries and hospital admissions and been struggling with the state of the world and how […]
There have been a lot of benefits about moving back down to Adelaide. I have a steady home, a gorgeous fiancee and two beautiful bunnies to come home to every day. However, until recently, because of Covid, South Australia (SA) has remained mostly closed off to the rest of the country, and the world. It’s […]
There are so many things I love about getting off the beaten travellers track. Cheaper trips, unpredictable adventures, delightful spontaneity and not having to muscle my way through hordes of other backpackers are just a handful of the things that make travelling to the more unusual destinations so worthwhile. However, whilst the spontaneity and ‘venturing […]
