Every traveller, even the most budget conscious among us, deserves a treat now and again! And never is this more welcome than after a serious amount of long-haul air travel across the globe. Stick me on a bus or a boat for 24 hours+ and I’m fine, but for some reason my body now […]

Oh Nicaragua, you dream-filled beautiful! With mountains, lakes, rivers, beaches, surf, scuba, jungles and islands you’ve got it all – and you’ve got it all so close together! Yes a small nation in the heart of the Central American isthmus, this country sure does pack a hefty travel punch thanks to its tropical location […]

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 […]
