South Australia is a very hot and dry state. When I was there temperatures easily hit 40 degrees C and it wasn’t even during the Summer time! Still, a barren landscape like this contrasts beautifully with the bright, blue ocean. This photo was taken from the Bluff in Victor Harbor, a small town about aContinue reading “Victor Harbor”

Sydney
It was a magical feeling to see the Sydney Opera House for the first time. The realisation that you’re looking at an iconic building on the other side of the world simply blows my mind. I’ve seen the Sydney Opera House several times and every time I feel the same magical feeling. I can’t describeContinue reading “Sydney”

My first ever solo travel took me to Denmark. I had a working holiday and spent about a week picking strawberries on a small island (omg, it was so cold in the morning that I got a bladder infection!). I was out of my depth and initially wanted to run home. I didn’t and endedContinue reading “The kindness of strangers”
