They have finally allowed Australians to leave this island! Huzzah! Something that I have always struggled with is just how far we are from the rest of the world. Flying excitement is short lived until you realise that it's going to be about 5 hours until you clear flying over Australia to Asia. In the …
I have always been a shoe person if you will. A quite picky shoe person to ensure that I didn't buy plastic moulds for my feet or ones that were like having concrete slabs wrapped to my feet. I like to invest in a pair that would last me years. Of course, these then all …
In the latest Friendly Friday Challenge from Sandy, purple is the subject to be thinking about. To be completely honest, of all the colours, purple is not a colour I think much about. I had always thought of purple as an "artificial" colour which also seldom occurs in nature (not true, there are many purple …
Dreaming has been difficult in the past year. One dream I've always had for the past decade was to travel. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to be walking through the highest peaks and lowest troughs of the world. I wanted to see all the animals and wonders of the world that I'd …
I have to admit, I never really understood the notion that people travel to find themselves. Finding themselves like they had lost parts that could be found. I know myself I stubbornly thought.

European countries select their representative usually through a country wide search. The singer/band then gets the chance to perform in the semi-finals and some of the big funders of Eurovision automatically qualify straight into …

Thank you for nominating me Juliette for my first award! The rules: Provide a link to the creator’s original award post.Answer the questions …
I found out about Blablacar through locals that I had met in Europe. The French ride-sharing service is alittle like Airbnb- essentially, drivers list their trip on blablacar and you can pay for a seat and be a passenger. The website has a review process where you can rate the driver and their driving skills …
Following on from the recount of my time in Mexico (last stop Guadalajara), the next stop on our Mexican adventures was to a pueblo blanco Patzcuaro. On first impressions, I thought this was the inspiration for the Pixar movie Coco from the white and red building facades. It is indeed, not the town that inspired …
