A visit to the magical Hobbiton movie set in New Zealand's North Island.
Chasing Giants: Whale Watching at Wilsons Promontory
The one thing I’ve been looking forward to the most about spending the colder months down under has to be the chance to witness the migration of whales and to get up close with the gentle giants of the sea.
Australia’s Red Centre; from Alice Springs to Uluru (Ayers Rock)
In just 6 days, we (Kiki, Christian and myself) ticked off another item from our bucket list by exploring Australia’s Red Centre, starting in Alice Springs and making our way to Uluru via Kings Canyon.
We’re Getting Married!!
While on our already amazing holiday in Australia’s Red Centre, Christian had something truly special up his sleeve to make it even more memorable.
New Zealand part 3: Milford Sound
Deep within the heart of New Zealand's South Island lies a place of unmatched beauty — Milford Sound. Known as the 8th natural wonder of the world, you can either reach this incredibly remote location by a long drive (3+ hours) or by a scenic flight. Lucky for us, we had the time and did both!
New Zealand part 2: Bucket list hike Roys Peak
Among Wānaka's many gems, Roys Peak stands out as a must-do hike, offering panoramic views that seem to stretch to infinity. I had seen pictures of this place many times and I was determined to experience it firsthand, regardless of the early hour we would need to get up.
New Zealand part 1: The Mighty Aoraki
Home to New Zealand tallest peak (at 3,724 meters) Aoraki in the Mount Cook National Park, was our first stop for this trip. With its towering snow-capped mountains, azure glacial lakes, and rugged alpine terrain it didn’t disappoint.
Byron Bay: A Journey of Sun and Rain
Byron Bay, known for its stunning beaches and surf culture, is a destination that captures the hearts of travellers from around the world. Ultimately it was one of the places on my list that I wanted to visit once we moved to Australia. Recently, I was able to tick this one of the list.
Otway Park & The Great Ocean Road
Along the southern coast of Victoria lies a stunning stretch of natural beauty. Otway Park and the Great Ocean Road offer a mesmerising journey through rugged cliffs, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and iconic coastal formations.
Mount Amos, Tasmania
Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast lies the iconic Mt Amos hike. This trail, though short, boasts a steep ascent that I first conquered alongside Opa back in 2019.
