Adelaide
I’ve got mixed feelings about Adelaide. It’s where all my happiest memories have happened and also all my saddest. My whole childhood unfolded here. Everywhere I go there are memories. It leaves me wondering if I should stay here dwelling in the past, or move on to something new.

Nailing a Solo Road Trip
I’m not from Adelaide. Because of this, I often make a 5-hour drive home to see my family and friends. Sometimes I have someone in the passenger seat to make conversation.

Going Alone
Recently, I just took my first solo vacation. I decided to take advantage of my mid-semester break and do some touristy things around Australia. I booked a four day vacation to Cairns, Queensland, so I could experience Australia’s tropical climate and visit the Great Barrier Reef! I had planned this vacation by myself, so I […]
Holiday Guide: Darwin
What do you think of when you imagine the Northern Territory’s capital? Humidity, crocodiles and other dangerous creatures? You’re not far wrong. Chuck in a bucket load of mosquitos, some very, incredibly dangerous box jellyfish, and six months of monsoonal rain, and you almost have it right. However, there’s also a lot to like about […]
