Earlier this year I impulsively bought flights for a week in the famous New York City, not realising, until closer to the time of the trip, so a bit too late, that New York isn’t a cheap place. My trip to New York was just for a week but I had to budget smart to… Continue reading New York City on a Budget
Oktoberfest
Known as Disney Land for Adults, the annual Oktoberfest festival in Munich Germany has been on my bucket list for quite a while and I finally got the chance to put on my Dirndle and drink litres of beer. It may be a festival aimed at adults with it’s many great beer halls but there… Continue reading Oktoberfest
A Holiday Home
It’s almost a little strange to be going home for one of my trips this year. Staying in my childhood home for a week, hanging out with friends and family and getting excited over going places I’ve been to so many times over the years, as if it was a new, fresh place for me.… Continue reading A Holiday Home
Sail Croatia

This trip is known as Sail Croatia and Sail Croatia is known for being a week of partying and shenanigans. Thankfully my group was 23 girls… Continue reading Sail Croatia

It’s helped me break down the 2 years into smaller segments. Getting to see her at the start of July,… Continue reading Catch Ups in Girona
The Best of Turkey
Day 1: 2.30am alarm to get home from a friend’s place, finish packing and get out the door by 3.30am. The bus was late. By the time I got to the train station I’d missed the train I needed so I had to get an Uber to Heathrow airport to make it in time. This… Continue reading The Best of Turkey
Catch Ups in Toulouse
When you wake up to a message from a friend from back home saying they’re moving to your side of the world, for 6 months, for work and they ask you to come stay with them, you jump at the opportunity to see them! And that is exactly how I wound up spending 4 nights… Continue reading Catch Ups in Toulouse
Exotic Morocco
Arrived late to Marrakesh, Morocco and whilst waiting to be driven to the Hotel I met some other Aussie and Kiwi’s also living in London. I’m starting to see a theme here when I travel! It’s great meeting people along the way who I can then met up with back in London OR back on… Continue reading Exotic Morocco
6 Months in London
February 26th marked 6 months since I moved to London. Those 6 months have flown by and so much has happened and changed in that time. I went from wanting to get out ASAP to now wanting to see the time through to the end of my Visa. In my last London post it was… Continue reading 6 Months in London
