So it’s our last day in Australia! TEAR! In true backpacker fashion, I’ve had far too little sleep, may still be a little drunk and I’m heading to the airport in about 3 hours. Yesterday I spent most of the day hanging out with my good (Australian!) friend, Ben. It was great to see him [...]

So this post may be a little loopy. Sorry about it but I haven’t slept since 6am yesterday morning, Thailand time. So that would make it…. more than 26 hours since I’ve slept. Oh boy. Brace yourselves. Yesterday, we woke up early and Kelly’s aunt, Kim (who is lovely and it’s a shame we only [...]

Dear Parents: It is here I lay to you Exhibit A: Proof that Emma has been using sunscreen, not only regularly but all the freakin’ time. I think this picture speaks for itself. No need to continuously ask me if I’ve been using sunscreen because I am sure you can tell from this, that I [...]

So after my trip to Uluru I flew to Melbourne to meet up with Kelly on Christmas Eve. We stayed at a great hostel in St. Kilda called Cooee. I really liked it, it was super clean! On Christmas day, Kelly and I got up and wandered around until we found a place to grab [...]

So we’re finally on the last day of my Uluru trip. Phew! I apologize for the sheer amount of photos in this post. But it had to be done. Hopefully you’ll forgive me. So day three! We woke up again super early, somewhere around 4.30am. The sunrise from our camp was absolutely stunning and is [...]

So yesterday Kelly and I met up to go buy our tickets to Thailand. I’m not sure if I’ve said it before but I’m not terribly interested in going to that part of the world. I don’t know why. However, while waiting at Student Flights for Kelly I was staring at all the brochures and [...]

This post is about my second day of the Uluru (Ayer’s Rock) tour I did with Wayoutback Tours. Again, a fantastic time! Started the day off with a 4.30am wakeup call! So early. We had slept on the ground under a tin roof the night before. Those that decided to be a little more “cool” [...]

On Saturday, Rachelle, Kelly and I also went on a wine tour in Hunter Valley. We went with Boutique Wine Tours, which was a great little company to take a day trip to Hunter Valley with. The guide was knowledgeable, he took us to some neat and non crowded vineyards and kept the day moving [...]

Hey everyone. So I’ve been a mixture of busy and lazy lately since New Year’s and so this blog has been a little neglected! I’ve come to rectify that with picutres. Here are some from just Day 1 of my trip out to Alice Springs and Uluru. Almost all the photos have corresponding stories or [...]

The last 2.5 minutes of the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks. Absolutely unreal. This will definitely rank as one of my top New Year’s Eves ever. You can hear our friend Richard, whose boat we were on, laughing in the background. He was just as blown away as we were I think. I’ve never seen [...]
