Brisbane (Round 2)

On Saturday, September 16th, I arrived back in Brisbane to spend some time in the larger city before heading down the coast to Gold Coast and Byron Bay. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by my friends from the hostel, and my friend Shona and I walked around the city and caught one another up […]

K’gari (Fraser Island)

After my kayak down the Noosa Everglades, I went to bed prepared for the next day’s adventure: a 2-day, 1-night adventure on Fraser Island. I booked my tour with Drop Bear Adventures, and would highly recommend them to anyone who plans on going to Fraser Island. That morning, I woke up at 5:30 am so […]

Noosa Everglades

You know when you have something important that you need to wake up for in the morning, so you set about 20 alarms set at 5-minute intervals to ensure you wake up? That was what I did for Tuesday morning as I had to wake up by 6:30 am to be ready to go when […]

As per usual, I slept through my entire flight, and woke up once the plane touched ground in Brisbane. Upon arrival, I ordered an Uber and headed to […]

Day 8 – Gili Trawangan (Snorkelling, Night Market)

After eating breakfast and getting ready, we lined up and grabbed some snorkelling gear to go on a snorkelling trip put on by the hostel (they do this Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays). The large […]

Day 7 – Gili Trawangan (Beach, Horse Riding)

After being in Indonesia for a week now, we have accomplished so much and been having an amazing time. It is like no other place I’ve been to (technically, I haven’t been to THAT many places, but still). We have experienced so many different things, each one of them amazing in their own way. I […]
