Australia is such a large country, making the decision to visit a very important and exciting one. It is key that you narrow down the exact places/cities that you want to visit in order to plan your best course of travel. When I travelled Australia back in 2012, I stuck primarily to several stops - hopping off in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide over an 8 week period. Here are my top things to do in each city.

Experience Sunshine Coast my way

September 7, 2015 by Marie NievesLeave a Comment

When you are leading a stressful life as I was, you usually do not even realize it until it is too late.

Also, living in modern cities additionally produces a great level of stress which does not occur in the county. Long commutes to/from work, long lines at supermarkets, traffic jams and too many people constantly … [Read more...]

Top #epicOZ experiences

June 4, 2014 by Dave2 Comments

Australia is a country that begs to be explored - not quickly but slowly over a number of months.
