What are your Must See Places Before You Die? It’s a common questions asked by thousands of travellers, students, 9 to 5 workers and many more. I’ve been asked it many times since setting off to travel but to be honest, I’ve never had a good answer. It’s not for lack of wanting to see the world, I’ve just never been able to pick just a few destinations that I absolutely must […]

Youth Mobility Visa Ultimate Guide
Over 3 years ago I posted about how to apply for a Tier 5 UK Youth Mobility Visa (previously called the working holiday visa) as an Australian. I’d struggled with finding the correct information so thought to share my experience with the world in the hopes it would help somebody else. The response to my posts has been nothing short of amazing since then so to all of you who’ve […]

Moving To London
Moving to London was more daunting than any other move I’d ever undertaking in my life. Before I’d move to study or relocate to the city because it’s just what you do. But moving 2 hours drive from home or even another state in Australia is nothing compared to moving to London, one the biggest international cities around on the other side of the world. In the interest of helping […]

Anzac Day at Gallipoli, Turkey
Anzac Day… one of the most solemn days for any Australian or New Zealander as we stop to remember our fallen soldiers at Gallipoli in Turkey during the First World War. The battle at Gallipoli lasted some 8 months between the Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and the Turkish Ottoman’s who were allied with Germany at the time.

Bank Accounts and National Insurance Numbers
Before I planned my big moving to London adventure I was concerned about all the paperwork I’d have to fill out just to work here. Bank Accounts I understood, but the National Insurance Number seemed completely foreign to me. The National Insurance Number (think Tax File Number Australians) is required by your employer and while used for tax purposes it also gets you access to free health services should you […]

Yallingup Reef, located along Western Australia’s stunning coastline makes for a perfect holiday stop off for any traveller. I visited the area earlier this year while on my way to explore the Margaret River region and fell in love with this part of Australia. With so many beaches and coastal views stretched out along this part of Western Australia you could spend forever in this part of the country and […]
My First Visit To America – Palm Beach
With my visit to America already having taken in Miami and Fort Lauderdale the Visit Florida road trip thundered down the highway towards Palm Beach and our hotel for the night, the Omphoy Ocean Resort. With the water just meters from the resorts door (see above for image snapped from my bedroom window) it was easy to see Florida is all about the sun, sand and water. In Palm Beach […]
Driving The Great Ocean Road
I’ve seen and heard many a story of locals and tourists driving the Great Ocean Road but in all my years I’d never taken the time to do it myself. Terrible I know considering I lived just a couple of hours drive away. Having already written about my time at Cape Otway I figured it was time to show you the rest of the experience. As anybody who’s undertaken the […]

Vivonne Bay
Vivonne Bay is considered the best beach in all of Australia after being reviewed by Sydney University covering aspects like water clarity and cleanliness. Having visited I have to admit the long sandy beach and iconic jetty (pictured above) would make for a great afternoon of beach cricket or just laying about in the sun with a picnic. The main attraction for me was the stunning colour of the water, […]
