Can you all help a girl out? I feel like I'm always applying for random stuff and just never getting it - but this time is different! I want to win the Best Backpacking Job in Australia, so I submitted a video explaining why I'd be so great (in my opinion). What do I get? Well how about 3 mont ...

For part of my recent holiday, I decided to go the non-traditional route here and avoid the beaches in hopes of getting a little taste of the Australian Outback. So, I went on a road trip with Patrick all the way out to the farthest Western reaches of New South Wales in order to visit an oasis in ...

I've probably mentioned it before, but a large part of the English-speaking Western world actually believes that Americans don't speak English. So, what exactly do we Americans speak? American! Look, I'll give it to the Brits that perhaps their English is the more proper and correct version. ...

What is this?! Look at it... What the hell is this bug?! And, why the freak is it in my apartment?! Gar. I hate bugs more than anything. Highest on that list are spiders, and that sometimes reaches a level of irrational fear. But, any buggy type thing will do it to me. I came home from wo ...

Look, I've been dealing with some anger issues lately. I'm not sure why, but I just keep wanting to punch people, things, ideas, whatever in the face. Oh, yeah, that would feel so good, or at least I think it would. It's not like I've ever actually hit anyone in the face - on purpose - but there ...

I had never heard about Movember until Australia. Movember is when the entire month of November is spent growing a "mo", which is short for moustache, in support of men's health issues.
