The Great Ocean Road is one of my absolute favourites in Australia. The road starts in Torquay and ends in Allansford, near Warnambool, passing some absolutely amazing coast line with various highlights: Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, the Arch, the Twelve Apostels and plenty more!

You live, you learn
The Fjällräven Classic, it’s been well over a year ago that I participated in this daunting trek. No, I didn’t finish the trekking, but I’ve finally made my peace with it. Had I known then what I know now, I would have done a lot of things differently. I suppose that is what life is all about:ContinueContinue reading “You live, you learn”
Hostelling series: five ‘must packs’
What to pack for a backpacking trip?

Climb every mountain
Trekking through the lush green forests and getting higher and higher up the mountain. Every once in a while I had to stop and take a picture to capture how much I had hiked to get there. The Routeburn Track was amazing to do and seeing these pictures again fills me with that fuzzy warm feeling of pride and nostalgia.ContinueContinue reading “Climb every mountain”
