Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park
My number one bucket list ticked – watching bears catch Salmon jumping upstream at Brooks Falls. Seeing baby bears was a bonus and too cute not to share! Located in Katmai National Park lies one of the best wildlife viewing that we have ever experienced. Every summer, sockeye salmon swim up the Brooks River to…

Anchorage in the summer
Alaska. The land of the midnight sun. There’s something about this destination that always draws me back and I’m not even 100% sure why. I know one reason is because we visited in the winter so of course we had to come back for the summer, and the other reason was to tick off a…

New York
New York was our last stop in the states before heading over to Europe. Even though New York had this amazing feel about it, unfortunately our US funds had dwindled and as we didn’t want to tap into our Europe funds, we didn’t get to do as much as we would have liked, like seeing…

Miami & the Bahamas

I found it really difficult finding accommodation in Miami. According to tripadvisor, most places were crummy and rundown but…

Fairbanks, Alaska
This part of the story is what made Alaska so magical to me! Every part of this journey was life changing, as cliché as that may sound. Ever since I saw a photo of the mystical Aurora Borealis also known as the northern lights I had always yearned to see and experience it’s beauty and…

Anchorage, Alaska
I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep as the plane took off through a storm. Even though we booked our flights through a travel agent, we were told that seats aren’t reserved for all internal flights throughout the US. Wade & I were made to wait until last to see which two seats…

Oahu, Hawaii
ALOHA, HAWAII! Thanks to Jetstar Australia, we were jetting off from the southern to the northern hemisphere to explore a new part of the world – the Americas. The trip was made possible when I received an email titled ‘Friday Fare Frenzy’ that Jetstar tempt me with every Friday evening. Booking this impulse trip for less…
