I’m an avid journaller. It’s now coming to the point where we need to pack up all our stuff in the next few weeks and start long term travelling again and the thing that I always find hard is what to do with my journals. I accumulate so many and they are so important to [...]
Aussies are everywhere; in every hostel & major city in Europe. It’s nice to work in a place where not everyone is disenchanted with Aussies. They certainly know how to make me feel special! There is a Hungarian guy at work who can barely understand me but loves when I say the words ‘food’ and [...]
The first time I was in Paris last year with Tom and we went to Les Puces (the fleas) Market we spent a few hours wandering around and he said to me ‘You really need to come here with your girlfriends.’ Nearly a year later I was lucky enough to do that. The girls and [...]

I hope your day is simple and good.
A few moments from our Paris adventure. We were on the high speed train at Rotterdam Centraal at 8am, ready with our coffees and books for our 2 and a half hour trip through Holland, Belgium and France – that’s right, 3 countries in under 3 hours. This Europe place is crazy small! Red velvet [...]
Firstly – watch this video. I’ve watched it a couple of times now and I love it more each time. I love the message, I love the real people in it and I love the bikes (of course!). This really is my life mission. Keep it simple. Love openly. Travel often. Eat well. Create. Create. [...]
