The main reason I decide to visit Brisbane? Koalas. Yes, I've seen them relaxing in a tree on the Great Ocean Road. But... I want to hold one. Have one of those super posed and touristy photos where you get to hold one and fall in love for as long as it takes to take...
The main reason I decide to visit Brisbane? Koalas. Yes, I've seen them relaxing in a tree on the Great Ocean Road. But... I want to hold one. Have one of those super posed and touristy photos where you get to hold one and fall in love for as long as it takes to take the picture. It's true, I'm traveling to Brisbane because I want to cuddle a koala. But, as it turns out, Brisbane has a lot more to offer than a place to get your overpriced koala photo. It is my final destination in Australia before flying to New Zealand and I really enjoyed it. I'm in Brisbane from Friday to Monday. After a couple of days relaxing on the Whitsunday Islands and admiring the...

I leave Melbourne thinking 'We should try this again'. It isn't love at first sight like I experienced in Sydney. And with all the high expectations I had of this city, I'm feeling a bit disappointed. But the truth is, I was tired. After traveling non-stop for 6...
Driving through New Zealand is without a doubt one of the travel highlights of last year. Partly because I managed to drive on the other side of the road for three weeks without hitting anything or anyone. But mostly because it's one of the most beautiful, impressive...
Just because the place looks like paradise, doesn't mean the weather will always play along. After Sydney and Melbourne I am looking forward to a few days of doing nothing. That is, doing nothing as in walking barefoot on white sand beaches and taking naps under a...
My three weeks in New Zealand are one of the highlights of this year. Which is why it's strange that I still haven't shared anything here on the blog. At the same time: where to begin? But now that I'm writing this back home, while the snow outside is preventing me to...
As you may remember from one adventurous trip into the English countryside, I'm not a big fan of driving on the left side of the road. And yet somehow, during my three months on the road I managed to only visit left-driving countries. Including Australia. Whenever I...
The Great Ocean Road is one of those so-called must-do’s when you visit the East Coast of Australia. And if there is one piece of advice I heard and saw over and over again, it's DON’T do the Great Ocean Road in one day. Rent a car and take at least three days. So of...
Sydney or Melbourne? Every time I meet people in Australia it's one of the first questions they ask. Which city do you prefer? There's clearly a friendly competition going on here. Before this trip I thought the answer would be Melbourne. For...
I knew it was going to happen. After all it's one of the reasons why people come here. It is one of the reasons I'm here! Drawn by those images in travel magazines and on Instagram. Ignoring the little (but loud) voice in my head, reminding me that I'm afraid of...
I think it’s safe to say that about 99% of what I know about Australian food (or maybe even Australia in general) comes from watching MasterChef Australia religiously for several years. You’d almost forget that those chefs you see on television are also cooking...
