Just across the river from the CBD, Brisbane’s South Bank is the centrally-located playground for locals and tourists alike in the city. Every time I visit Queensland’s capital, I love heading across to the South Bank to enjoy great food, great views, great art and, at the weekend, great markets too. The whole place has […]

Despite being one of the smaller countries in the great continent of South America, Ecuador is undoubtedly one of my favourites. This is probably due to its geographical diversity – from the gorgeous Galapagos Islands to wonderful hiking, Ecuador offers beaches, rivers, lakes and jungle experiences, as well as a strong indigenous culture and […]

Every time we get a day off together, the boy and I make it a priority to explore somewhere new. Previously we’ve visited many of the national parks and towns of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and are great fans of this beautiful area on our back doorstep. You can read some of these adventures […]

Every Sunday morning, there is only one place you’ll find me. I might be enjoying a smoothie, relaxing with a coffee, choosing my organic veg or discussing the latest in activated sourdough. But whatever it is, you can bet it will be happening at Noosa Farmers Market. As a severe lover of markets, I’ve been […]

In my book, anywhere with a name like Rainbow Beach is going to be pretty special. Trust Australia then, to come up with the goods! Most people simply pass through Rainbow Beach on their way to Fraser Island, and to be honest, I did the same. But now, having had a second chance to spend […]

Talk to any fresh-faced traveller who’s just arrived in Australia, ask them where they plan on visiting and you’ll usually hear the same answer, “Sydney Harbour, Gold Coast, Cairns and maybe the Whitsundays.” Yet one of the greatest things about spending time in any country is putting down the guidebook, talking to the locals […]

I’ve now been budget travelling in Australia for almost 2 years and have spent a good deal of time across almost every state – apart Tasmania – working, camping, sightseeing, hiking, farming and exploring. As such, I have a fairly good knowledge of the lie of this land and, of course, an appreciation of […]

The magical blue city in the north of Morocco, the secret of Chefchaouen is definitely out – especially compared to when I first visited 13 years ago! But this doesn’t make it any less wonderful as a result. No, quite amazingly given its compact size, the crumbling charm of this UNESCO-listed medina was no less […]
