It is crazy to think that it has almost been a year since I visited Newcastle, the seaside city ~ 2 hours from Sydney. We had no idea what to expect from Newcastle and choose to visit on a whim after googling ‘good places to visit in Australian during January!’ However, I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I […]
Kangaroo Island is a tiny island off the coast of the Australian state that I call home, South Australia. Although small, Kangaroo Island is well worth (the rather) expensive trip over. It is home to some of the most stunning beaches, including one where you walk through a ‘secret’ cave and are greeted with dazzling blue water, pristine sand, and […]
I have been lucky enough to explore so many amazing parts of the world, and I often choose to stay in Airbnbs when I do ! They are a true home away from home and I am a little obsessed with home designs and interior decorating (as you may be able to tell from all my house related posts) so […]
If you have been following my blog for a little while, you would know that I have travelled to the beautiful Island state that is Tasmania many times. And I mean with scenes like this….. why wouldn’t I Tasmania is full of incredible nature, the West Coast is truly wild and full of secluded forests and beautiful waterfalls, the South […]
Lorne, on the Great Ocean Road is one of my favourite getaway spots and I have been there a few times! I went back over the long weekend with two of my oldest/longest friends and our partners. The weekend started with some editing at the airport- but I am happy to report this was the only PhD work done all […]
I always love sharing the places I stay when I am away and I spent this long weekend in Lorne on the Great Ocean Road with Steve & some friends. We hired a house just out of the busy part of Lorne with a really beautiful view and enjoyable walk to the centre of town. The house was a little […]
A few weeks ago I shared a post about some of the top PhD posts from the last 3 years of dr.ofwhat (click here if you are interested in reading that). Now I am sharing some of the top travel posts from the last three years. I have been to some truly incredibly places and have loved to share some […]
My parents very recently purchased a holiday house by the beach, and we got to go up for the first time over the weekend! It is the cutest little blue shack and they have already done such an amazing job decorating it, so I wanted to share a few of the house details. It is a place that is going […]
If you have been reading my blog for a little while you would know that I love staying in airbnbs, and that I always post about them (see some previous posts here). This time we had an Airbnb for six nights in Newcastle, and it is my favourite one so far! This was the first time I stayed in an […]
To decide on where to go for my latest holiday, we literally googled “places to go in January in Australia” and Newcastle was one of the suggestions. I have explored very little of New South Wales (Australian state) and Newcastle promised good beaches, good wine, & good food- all things that I enjoy! Newcastle is actually the 7th largest city […]
