I had heard about the awesome sunsets that come over on this side of the country right on the Indian Ocean. On day 88, while in Perth, I took a

Day 77: Some of My Favorite Types of Holidays
Long or short, a holiday is a holiday, right? Well, yes and no. A holiday’s basic definition (to me) would be the escape from normal life, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a relaxing and do nothing sort of ordeal.

Day 54: A Sunrise Over Mona Vale Beach, Australia
I never really appreciated sunrises or sunsets until I came to Australia where every single day puts me face-to-face with some of the most brilliantly painted skies.

Help a Travel Addict Out
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?… Read more Well how about 3
Touching the Untouchable
If I made a list of the far-flung places I have now traveled to, it would probably contain the following:
1) Guatemala
2) Ukraine
3) Kyrgyzstan
4) Kazakhstan
