The Canadian Rockies in Winter
After the high expectations Alaska created and fulfilled on our travels we were both happy to know that Canada lived up to them too! With a short stay in Vancouver city before exploring the snow-covered rockies which was in such close proximity, I could already tell that this is one place I would quickly fall…

Vancouver, Canada
With a short stay in Vancouver before our trip through the Rockies, we wandered the quirky streets of Gastown before heading to the Vancouver convention centre where we watched seaplanes coming in for landing & the views of North Vancouver across the waterway. We took the lift up the Vancouver Lookout Tower for spectacular views…

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…

A guide to Rarotonga
A place we have always viewed as paradise! Rarotonga (Raro) is the largest island and main hub of the Cook Islands. A 32km road loops the entire island and there’s not one traffic light in sight. Think stunning lagoon-style beaches & friendly locals, there is so much to see and do yet it remains so…

The Lucky Ticket
Commuting to Sydney from the Central Coast each day allows plenty of time for the mind to wander to places completely different from what I was viewing outside the train window. A playlist compiled with song choices to ease the noise of the screaming children and the sound of snoring businessman alike. It had felt…

Athens & the Greek Islands
Our flight into Athens was a scary and bumpy one. The wind was strong which bobbled the flight in the air, the whole plane clapping like an audience and the captains landing was the show. We caught a bus from the airport to our hotel, situated right on Edem beach where we relaxed for two days before meeting…

Last road to Munich…
Switzerland was amazing and we had a strong feeling not many places would beat our most recent favourite country / place in the world. We were sad to board our last Busabout bus, but excited for a further chapter in travel. I won’t sound too depressed as we still have a couple more weeks before home…

Lucerne, Switzerland
The scenery beyond the window on our short train journey from Interlaken to Lucerne was enjoyed as we continually spoke about how we just skydived in Switzerland! We explored the streets of beautiful Lucerne, walking along the Reuss river and Kapellbrucke wooden footbridge that crosses it. We bumped into Rhiannon and after exploring more of Lucerne including…
