Thumbnail image for Finding Accommodation in London – The Ups and Downs

For so many Aussies with travel dreams London has become a rite of passage. You get your visa, book your flights to London  then backpack Europe and live in London for a while sampling everything it has to offer. Sitting at home I would read Facebook updates and hear stories about friends that had headed to London to live abroad and were living the life. Wild parties in Europe with ...

Leaving the Amalfi Coast where houses balance on the side of cliffs and the greenery of the mountains served as a view any blogger could be motivated by I returned to Naples where I would spend my final 24 hours in Europe.

Heaven Or Just Realising The Dream

Thumbnail image for Heaven Or Just Realising The Dream

The final two days at my stay in the oh so posh hostel along the coastline of Italy were some of my finest. At night I was one of the regulars, meeting new arrivals as they found the hostel bar all while having a good old banter with the manager and staff as we partied away into the wee hours of the morning together. During the day I ventured to ...
