Cradle Mountain National Park is a must-do if you’re in Tasmania and like hiking and/or wildlife. We visiting in February 2025 for a day and had an awesome day. We were staying in Launceston and we weren’t sure how much ground we would manage to cover, so I thought I’d write a quick blog in…

Where to see platypus near Melbourne, Victoria
I absolutely love seeing new animals but only in the wild. It means there are heaps of animals I will probably never see but the magic of seeing them more than makes up for it in my opinion. I’ve lived in Australia since 2022 and one animal that has been high on my list to…
Ningaloo Whale Shark Recommendations
The spotty giants of the ocean are the reason many people venture up to Exmouth. They were one of the highlights of our trip, but there is much more to offer too. When should I go? We went up to Exmouth at the start of May and many people referred to “magic May” as one…

Hiking The Routeburn Track
NZ is a magical place (regardless if you’re a Lord Of The Rings fan or not!). Doing one of the Great Walks is a bucket list item for many, myself included. I am an experienced hiker but rarely do overnight trails. The hut system in NZ gives you a great chance to do an over-nighter…
Top Tips For Seoul
We visited South Korea in September 2023, spending 5 days in Seoul and 2 days in Gyeongju. I’d visited Korea, specifically Seoul, once before for a few days and loved it. I was therefore a little concerned that I’d overhyped it in my head. Not at all. It was even better than I’d remembered. It’s…
