Snapshot Saturday: Lighthouse Beach

We broke the long ten-hour drive from Gold Coast to Sydney into two. Our Couchsurfing host Chris, a British who’s been living in Port Macquarie for thirty-six years now (and a gold mine of hilarious traveloques), took us in for a night even though we were traveling with a toddler. Behind his beautiful backyard is…

The First Hundred: Stoked and Suffolk-ated

Australia, the 22nd country and fourth continent I’ve set foot on (pardon the vaunting of numbers, but it’s a bucket list thing). It’s also the first stop that we chose for our round-the-world trip.

Snapshot Saturday: Bantayan The Beautiful

Serene stretch of pearly white beach. View from Sta. Fe Beach Club, Bantayan Island (Cebu, Philippines). Today’s glum weather in Sydney made us long for anything tropical. We’re on the 60th day of our homelessness and currently battling a visa matter. Once we’ve surpassed that, we’re off to our next destination! TweetShare This page was…

The warmth of the midday sun’s rays pierced through my skin. I was way pleased to finally shed off my extra layer of garb. Australia’s halfway through winter, and there we were striding towards the beach in North Burleigh, searching for summer… Or its vibe at least. I surveyed the vast expanse of the shore,…
