Hey there!
Welcome to my blog! My aim is to share my adventures and experiences with you through the pictures I take whilst on my travels.
I have been in Australia since the beginning of December 2014 and have been having the time of my life. Its an adventure which has taught me a lot about myself and my boyfriend, Chris, who you will see in the pictures too.
We have been a couple for over 6 years and decided to take the plunge after a crossroads in our lives. At the age of 23 and 26 we didn't feel we were ready to "settle down", buy a house and all that jazz just yet. We yearned to experience life, other cultures and most importantly we wanted to do this together. Having saved a sizeable deposit, and instead of investing in bricks and mortar, we decided to quit our jobs, pack up our belongings in a backpack and book our one way tickets to Australia!
So far we have spent 3 weeks in Victoria with my family, 2 weeks in Sydney over Christmas and New Year, 7 weeks travelling from Melbourne to Brisbane in our tent on top of the car (pictures to follow!) and it was then we moved to Western Australia to look for work and top up our funds in readiness for the next adventure!
I want to share with you some pictures from our journey so far and will give as much detail as I can remember. I searched blogs, trip advisor, travel sites and read heaps of books before we started this journey and found everything I read mind boggling. Australia is an incredibly huge country and I don't think you understand that until you have been here and travelled it. It is important to work out how you are going to travel and where. Having said this, the joy of travelling comes as you go with the flow, be open minded and embrace whatever challenges come your way. We had nothing arranged when we first arrived except for 2 weeks in Sydney for Christmas and New Year and it was daunting but we have had an incredible adventure so far and it is this which has inspired me to start my blog.
I hope you enjoy reading this and any future posts!
