All the places, spaces and stuff we see and do.Should travel bloggers go to TBEX?
It can be difficult to decide which travel blogging conference to invest your hard earned cash into. Don’t worry I’ve been to quite a few and here’s my honest review of TBEX and if you should or shouldn’t go.
Unique and useful gifts to give to travellers
Oh dear. It's that wonderful time of the year again. That time when we are all stressed out, pulling out our hair trying to find that perfect gift for that perfect someone we love. Or maybe it's just an obligation that you really don't want to do but have to. Yes we...
Next Stop- Adventures in Australia
Next stop - Adventures in Australia! Woo hoo. But wait? Aren't we based in Australia? Isn't Melbourne our home town? Full of amazing street art, delicious food and the world's best coffee. Yup. All of the above is true. This past year I've done a lot of international...
It’s more fun eating in the Philippines
It's more fun eating ALL THE FOOD in the Philippines. True story. So many complex dishes, simple pleasures and sweet treats. All best shared with family and friends. I wouldn't lie to you about how much food I devoured in my recent trip to the Philippines for TBEX. It...
Travelling isn’t stopping me from having a baby but you are.
Travelling isn't stopping me from having a baby but you are. Travelling around as we do has opened a plethora of doors, opportunities and friendships to us. Not one of which I regret what so ever. I'm happy with the life choices that have led me here to being able to...
What to do when stranded on a tropical island in the Philippines
What do you do when you're dream holiday, an escape from the every day mundane leads you not to paradise but points you in a totally different direction? One that you could never have imagined and perhaps never wanted to experience? Surely that glossy brochure website...
For the love of coffee – traveller tales
For the love of coffee! Sweet, delicious, hot beverage. A gift from the Gods above to us humble people down here. A savior for many freelancers, travel writters and the average person. I really love coffee. We really do live the lifestyle of our motto - Eat Well,...
Embrace Winter- A road trip around New Zealand
There’s a certain serene beauty about winter. Not only is it a wondrous time to spend the month of July celebrating my birthday it also offers the adventurer a whole new arena to play in. This year we (ok it’s me) decided to change our usual winter habits and embrace...
How to behave like a professional on a FAM trip.
It's with great sadness that we've had to take a walk back into the classroom and do another Lesson From Jean aka the #dontbeadick series. Today students we are going to cover a very important and overly simple topic- How to behave on a FAM trip. I almost feel as if...
Falling in Love at Falls Creek
Is there any more of a special feeling then falling in love? The anticipation, the expectation and eventually the reality. If only we could bottle these emotions. Instead we strive to continuously discover and embrace these feelings of love, life and happiness. Which...
Next stop- Return to the Philippines
It really is more fun in the Philippines and there was no way I could say no to a return visit to the Philippines this October. My last trip was far too short and I barely got to experience the mayhem of Manila past a trip from the airport to Hotel Jen and back again....
Oops! I made a travel mistake
As much we we don't like to admit it we all make mistakes. Horrendous. soul destroying, embarrassing kind of mistakes. There is seemingly this illusion that as travel writers/bloggers/vloggers/influencers that we live in a perfect utopia world where we get to travel...
A little bit of relaxing in Little River, New Zealand
Little River is the one town in New Zealand’s South island that you don’t want to miss. A hidden surprise that most people drive right on through. Don’t be that person.
Next stop- the Gold Coast, Australia!
Next stop is a place I've never been to before. A place that many young Australians go to. A place full of fake boobs, bad tattoos and gluten free donuts. What magical land am I off to? The Gold Coast. Commonly touted as Australia's own Bali/Ibiza. With less prestige...
