Like many others, a road trip to Australia’s red centre has always been on my bucket list. After years of toying with the idea, I bit the bullet, hired a campervan and prepared myself for the twenty-four hour drive from Melbourne to Uluru. Uluru was every bit as majestic and mesmerising as I imagined. Huge is an […]
The driest and highest desert in the world, rolling sand dunes, steaming geysers, gurgling volcanoes, flamingo-dotted salt flats, snow-capped peaks and crystal blue lagoons, Chile’s Atacama Desert is a photographer’s dream. Somehow though, more pervasive then the visual feast, is an undefinable otherworldliness that you simply can’t shake. Set in the red dusty Chilean border of […]
I love a recap so I’ve hit the keyboard to look at my year that was! Full disclosure before you read on, while everyone experiences ups and downs (myself included), this recap focuses only on the positive because who wants to end the year being a negative nelly? In 2017 I was lucky to have plenty […]
Rather than contend with Melbourne’s unpredictable weather, and given my love of palm trees and tropical greenery, I’m going to have a destination wedding! Australia has so many stunning locations that fit the brief, but sunny North Queensland is hard to beat. The destination wedding business is booming and with plenty of options to explore […]
Like so many others, Las Vegas has been on my bucket list for a while. While I expected the decadent flashiness of the Strip, I was surprised by the striking arid desert and snow-capped mountains that are Sin City’s backdrop. I’m not ashamed to say it, Las Vegas was kind of captivating. Our […]
Deep in the southwest of America, the town of Santa Fe was once the battleground of cowboys and Indians. Native American tribes and outlaws roamed the countryside and the town housed and jailed many outlaw legends including Billy the Kid (he is buried in Santa Fe!). While visiting Santa Fe, my travel buddy and I had an unexpected introduction into American […]
There’s a certain charm to walking down palm-tree lined streets with gentle sun rays dancing upon your skin. It was supposed to be midwinter, and while some parts of the United States were hitting subzero temperatures, I was soaking up the rays in the perpetually sunny Los Angeles. With only 48 hours in the City of […]
There’s an undeniable charm about Kuala Lumpur, a booming city where the ever-sticky heat adds to an electric energy. It’s an urban centre where striking modern architecture is contrasted against old-world colonial buildings, and mouth-watering multiethnic food offerings can be found on almost every block. Having visited Malaysia a decade ago, I was very excited […]
When my aunty and uncle announced that they were having a Hamilton Island destination wedding, I couldn’t contain my excitement. Having stayed at the Whitsunday Islands once before, I knew it is one of Australia’s most beautiful travel locations. Only three hours flight time from Melbourne, from the moment your fight descends into Hamilton Island, […]
