Winter
Proof that things are prettier covered in snow
When I told people that we were heading overseas during the Christmas holidays, they usually looked at me like I was crazy. I get it. Why would I escape an Australian summer for a Northern hemisphere winter? Most people wouldn’t. It does sound rather crazy. And maybe I am, a little. But, when people in

Road trip to the Warburton Redwood Forest
I’m always on the hunt for new road trip destinations in Victoria. I stumbled upon this blog post a few months ago and instantly added the Warburton Redwood Forest to my list.

Flåm, or how to feel like a tiny ant in a big world
I don’t think I’ve ever felt as small in this big old world as I did during our short time in Flåm. Flåm is a wee village in Norway surrounded by the biggest mountains I’ve ever seen. Everywhere I turned, I was faced with sheer mountainsides, and I couldn’t be happier! Transporting yourself to Flåm

The hair-raising flight into Bergen was totally worth it
Twas the day after Christmas. This one was a Monday, and it proved to be a fairly regular day, as far as travel days go. Our bags were packed and tucked beneath us on our flight from London to Bergen. There was nothing particularly special about the flight. I don’t recall if I watched a

In hindsight, we should have made the most of our time, and stayed the night there, exploring the city. But by the time we really thought about this, our flights were already

Spending Christmas in London
For the past three years, we’ve spent the Christmas period abroad. First in Lake Louise, then Quebec City, and finally in London town. Being overseas during Christmas can be difficult.

Road trip to Trentham
Last weekend we hired a car. Mostly to go to IKEA, but also to get out of the city for a bit. Living (and working) in the concrete jungle, I often crave getting out of Melbourne and away from the tall buildings and large crowds. I was keen to go for a big walk in
