The Adventures of Mr Flint —
another Australian in New York.
La Dolce Vita
For decades our Granny has been taking an annual pilgrimage to Italy, a place that has always held a special place in her heart. Through the course of her life, she has learned Italian and traveled across multiple timezones, flights, and 20+ hours of travel to get to her beloved Italy, determined to explore every inch possible - no mean feat for someone who is 93 years old.
The Big Easy
They call New Orleans The Big Easy, and after visiting I can see why. As a city steeped in such impactful American history - from French colonial times to the Civil War and its role in the Civil Rights movement, it’s interesting that New Orleans was dubbed with this name.
The Newport Cliff Walk
A weekend road trip to Rhode Island for some would conjure up images of relaxing on the beach, eating lobster, and sipping chilled rosé. For us, we decided to take the Cliff Walk. A semi-paved, semi- treacherous rock scramble along a clifftop to peek over fences at the lavish mansions of incredibly rich old-money Americans.
The Streets of New York City
When I arrive in a city my first impusle is to walk. Walk and explore. Discovering a new destination on foot to me is the best way to take in what a city has to offer. There is something special about walking around a corner and stumbling across a steet murual, an amazing wine bar or of course that perfect photo opportunity. So much can be easiliy missed when rushing by on a bus or train.
The Museums of New York City
When I am travelling overseas to postcard perfect cities all over the world my favourite thing to do is spend as much time as possible in dimmly lit rooms looking at dinosaur bones and ancient greek artifacts. Museums are my jam. I could spend hours or days exploring, making sure I see every last thing in every single room. And NYC offers some of the best museums I have had the pleasure to visit.
MONA: Hobart, Tasmania
A trip to Hobart really isn't complete without a visit to the Museum of Old and New Art, or MONA as it is more commonly known. Opened in January 2011, the museum is the exisiting private collection of Tasmanian millionaire David Walsh and also hosts collections from all over the world.
The Barn: Hobart, Tasmania
Hobart is a pretty special place, it is definitely one of my favourite destinations in Australia. We visited again in February and staying at The Barn made our visit one that we would never forget.
The Pump House: Lake St Clair, Tasmania
Originally built in the 1940s as part of the Hydro Electricity Scheme, the Pump House was built to accomodate the massive turbines that would pump water from Lake St Clair to the near by lagoon and fed to the Tarraleah Power Station, if required.

Euro Trip 2015: Hola Barcelona 1.1
There is so much to see and do in Barcelona but one of the biggest draw cards to Barcelona for us were all the amazing buildings designed by Antoni GaudÃ.
Euro Trip 2015: Hola Barcelona 1.0
And onto our final stop of the trip. After 3 weeks of travelling we touched down in beautiful Barcelona. Many people have told me that Barcelona is their favourite city in Europe and I have to admit I am now one of those people.
Euro Trip 2015: The Bauhaus
What is the Bauhaus I hear you ask? A very good question! I was asking this too until Daniel enlightened me. The Bauhaus, an art school, was one of the first and the strongest influencer in the modern art and design movements.
Euro Trip 2015: Deutsch Bags In Berlin
As most people who have traveled to or from Australia will know, it's really fucking far! So when you travel all the way to Europe you have to make the most of it and see as much as you can.
