I’d be willing to wager a bet of at least two dollars that there are thousands or millions of young girls and women (and boys and men, because why discriminate?), yet to step a single toe outside their native country, who are currently daydreaming about visiting France. I say this because years ago, I was…
2016 has been an odd year. Sometimes I think of world events and honestly, the phrase “What the actual f—” just circles around my head. I can’t believe Trump will be president of the USA next year. That Britain would so viciously cut its nose off to spite its face. Or that bloody Pauline Hanson…
When I sat down and wrote up my travel plans for 2016, I didn’t really anticipate that I’d make it to most of the places on my list. Yet somehow, it happened. Apart from all the places I said I wanted to visit in the UK. Really dropped the ball on that one. I’m entering…

For any readers who are unfamiliar with the history of the occasion, Australia Day commemorates the 1788 arrival of…
Despite having dabbled in it off and on over the course of several years now, I’m really bad at yoga. To an almost embarrassing point. I can’t even touch my toes, standing or seated. After a hiatus from both it and then all exercise for a large portion of 2014, I returned at the beginning…
I recently took almost three weeks off work – to spend some time in one of my favourite countries, check out a new city and chill in London. By the time my boyfriend and I found ourselves in Hungary, I was feeling quite relaxed. If only work weren’t necessary – but that’s a fantasy that…
