I’ll admit, before visiting Singapore for the first time, I thought of it as just a stopover destination. But after spending time exploring the city, I quickly realised there is so much more to it. Although Singapore may be one of the smallest countries in the world, it’s packed with amazing attractions, incredible food, beautiful gardens, and vibrant neighbourhoods, making it a fantastic destination in its own right.

So, you’re having a baby, and many exciting times lie ahead once your new arrival is here. But, whilst it’s just the two of you, you might want to look into a cheeky getaway before your little one arrives.
A babymoon is the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and prepare for what’s to come. The hardest part is just deciding where to go.
Recently I watched a documentary on David Gulpilil an aboriginal actor. Something he said has stuck with me. “In the blackfella world we share everything. Everything is ours. In the whitefella world it is private property and everything belongs to someone else.” He went on to say “Blackfella world you have nothing, a spear and your ready to go. Whitefella have too much junk.”
It got me thinking about how we live our life. In our culture we collect things. My house is full of books that I have read once and will probably never pick up again. Vases that never hold flowers, ornaments and other dust collectors.Read More »

My first time travelling solo was on a Contiki tour through Europe. I wanted to get a taste of Europe before I starting working as an Au Pair in England. Contiki is a group tour targeted at 18-35’s. Rumours were flying that Contiki is all about people getting drunk and performing crazy antics.
I made myself a promise, I was not going to party all night and sleep all day on the bus. I didn’t want to miss the scenery as we drove across Europe, I wanted to soak it all in. But was this a promise I could keep?Read More »

If you have never been to Bali before and planning a trip here are few things that you need to know.Read More »
I was meant to be doing some spring cleaning but being a great procrastinator I started reading my old travel journals instead. They were covered in a layer of dust which I blew off to give them a clean. I figure dusting the journals counts as doing some spring cleaning, does it not?
This is where I came across my bucket list and do you know what? I have achieved my 40 before 40 bucket list! That is right, give me a high five and lets do a happy dance. Does anyone high five these days or should I be saying give me some knuckles?
Any way I was surprised at how many things I have achieved and ecstatic that I have achieved so much before I turn 40.Read More »
Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah state, located in the north of Borneo. With pristine beaches and lush tropical rainforests, it is a nature lover’s paradise. Climb Mt Kinabalu, visit the Orang-Utans or spend your days relaxing in a resort.

I love travel journals, my bedside drawer is full of them documenting my journeys. Often I will look back at them and reminisce about the good old days and it is surprising how much you actually forget. I am grateful that I wrote every day while I was backpacking around the world as now I have these precious journals to transport me back to my travelling days.Read More »
