It’s been 6 months since I started writing regularly again. I’ve had a post written almost every week and I actually can’t believe I have thought about enough topics to write about. I started off initially wanting to write only about travel. But, as you all know what happend this year- I don’t think it’s…

Expectations when travelling can be more of a curse than a blessing. Especially if you’ve had to travel all the way to the other side of the world. Sydney by definition starts on the coast and extends about 70km west (just before the Blue Mountains). Yes, it’s huge! Unlike many big European cities (I’m looking…

You can find Part I of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest adventure here. Day 2We were up nice and early- breakfast at 5am so that we could leave our lodge at 5:30am. It was also my birthday today! We headed onto the boat for a short ride through the misty and cool morning and got off…

After a handful of days in Mexico City, our next town on the tour was to Queretaro. We travelled 2.5 hours north via coach from Terminal Centrale de Norte. I’ve been on a lot of buses in my life when travelling and let me tell you, this coach was the best bus I have ever…

Learning a language is no easy feat. People start learning for multiple reasons- for fun, for work, family/partners or living arrangements. It requires memorising, pulling apart sentences and learning how to reconstruct them and putting aside your pride to speak with errors with a native speaker. My French learning started in high school with compulsory…

Deconfinement: to be out of the state of confinement or restrained movement. (sortie d’un état de confinement où les mouvements sont restreints ; retour à une possible circulation des personne). Our world here is slowly awakening from the social distancing measures that were put into place for COVID-19. Granted, Australia was lucky. Our Government had…

If you are looking up things to do in Mexico City, Teotihuacan will inevitably come up. About a 1 hour bus ride north east of Mexico City and it is home to some grand pyramids that are dated to be about 2000 years old and is pre-Aztec. Little is still known about this site however,…

En Australie, parce que le distance de l’autre pays, apprendre la langue extranger ce n’est pas une importance dans la societe et a l’école. Je pense que c’est un…
