A photo gallery of some the best street art in Melbourne, including work by Rone, Be Free and Vexta, and details of where to find them. (Although hurry, these walls are changing all the time!) I’ve been crushing on Melbourne since 2013. Find out why here.
We’d never heard the term ‘So:Me’ before. No Melburnian I have ever met has referred to South Melbourne as SoMe and the one I was with, Brendan from The Travel Pop, didn’t seem so keen on the moniker (which is a polite way of wording his objections.) We had a debate over it, which turned … Read more
You can probably tell from my social media feeds that I love living in Sydney. But the UK will always be my home. Aside from the people in it (which it goes without saying I miss terribly) these are the things about Blighty I unexpectedly found myself pining for. 1.Drizzle So Sydney doesn’t do rain … Read more
The Lyall is rather like a stately home away from home. Tucked down a leafy street in the upmarket suburb of South Yarra, the white walls and wrought iron railings of the Lyall Hotel make it look just like a home I would like to own. (A girl can dream right?) This homely hotel comes … Read more

As someone who is new to the country I’ve been devouring the advice local travel bloggers have to offer about travelling in Australia, as well as learning about some of the subtle differences between blogging in … Read more
‘How do you make money from travel blogging?’ must be the question I am asked most, both online and in person. And I get it. If I wasn’t a blogger I’d want to know how they make a living too! It all looks so easy or, in some cases, a little (dare I say it?) … Read more
One of the things I love about being an expat is that you can feel like a tourist by day and return to your own bed by night. More recently though I’ve started to fall into a regular routine of work, rest and play, with not nearly enough exploring. So I started thinking about some of … Read more
I’ve had two fleeting visits to Brisbane prior to my time there earlier this week. The first was in 2007 when I saw little more than the inside of a casino (and its allure of $2 daiquiris) and the second was in 2010 when I travelled to the Flight Centre head office and saw the inside … Read more
