There is a lot to say about my visit to America but it’s always best to start at the beginning. So here I am having arrived in Miami flying first class with Virgin Atlantic and heading to South Beach in Miami riding on the wheels of a sweet sweet Mustang. Passing street signs, roads and shops all with that typical American look to them was a weird feeling, as if […]

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. On just the Australian side over 8000 lives were lost […]

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 […]
Read More...Pennington Bay, Kangaroo Island
Pennington Bay is just one of the many amazing photo opportunities to be had along the south coast of Kangaroo Island. Billed as a popular surf and fishing beach, swimming can be undertaken but at your own risk. This is due to rips and strong winds that cause huge waves that have been heard in the nearby town of American River some 9 kilometers away. Pennington Bay is located at […]
Summer in Vienna
Summer in Vienna I hear you say, but isn’t it a winter destination? There is much to be said about Vienna and all of Austria for that matter as being the winter destination of Europe. To say Vienna is just for winter however is to sell the city short as it sports a pretty rocking summer lineup that shouldn’t be missed by anyone. I have to admit that Vienna had […]
Wynwood Art District
The Wynwood Art District is a must for any fan of street art or just art in general. It’s even more fun when you’re cruising the streets atop a Vespa with the sun shining down on you as I did with Roam Rides who offer 4 hour art tours with guides who know about the artwork and the neighbourhood. My biggest drama I thought taking the tour would be navigating […]
My First Visit To America
I’ve watched TV shows and movies coming out of America ever since I was born. With that kind of allure to a country started so young it stood to reason that at some time in my travels I was going to plan a visit to America to see if what I’d seen could hold a bar to the real thing. So how does one undertake their first trip to America […]
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse
The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is located at Cape Leeuwin, the most south-westerly point of Australia. Erected in 1895/6 it was dedicated to the world’s mariners by then Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest on the 10th December 1896. The lighthouse once guarded one of the busiest sea traffic routes on the Australia Coast in its day when most Australia bound ships travelled via the Cape of Good Hope. Cape […]
