Writing my Wilson’s Promontory travel guide was easy as it was one of the highlights of my working holiday in Australia. This was a place I never heard of until a few days before visiting. Despite this, it was incredible with a diverse range of landscapes and wildlife, making it a great trip! Wilson’s Promontory, …

The New Zealand working holiday visa is a great way to see one of, if not, the most beautiful countries on the planet! Its cities are among the best in the world to live in and New Zealand is one of the most progressive nations on the planet! If you are between the ages of …
Watching the British and Irish Lions in Melbourne was not on my to-do list when I went to Australia on my working holiday visa. I don’t think I was even aware that they were even playing that year! So to end up going and having one of the best sporting experiences of my life was …
Choosing the best beaches in New Zealand is tough, let me tell you why: as there is a lot to choose from. A lot of people think of the spectacular scenery when New Zealand is mentioned, but the beaches are of a high calibre as well! Firstly, there is a lot to choose from, so …
Visiting Coober Pedy is a strange experience. There is nothing normal about this town, which has an other-worldly feel. Located in the middle of the Australian outback far from civilisation, it resembles settings in Mad Max films. The last outpost in a barren post-apocalyptic world is a strange place! However, it’s the strangeness that makes …
Seeing the Tour De France in person has been one of my life goals for a while now. As a huge cycling fan, it is the biggest race on the calendar and something you absolutely must do! When I found out the Tour would depart from Utrecht in 2015, there was no way I was …
Travelling to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is something I would highly recommend while you are in the Philippines. This is one of the best things to do in Palawan, perhaps the best island in the Philippines! Palawan is also home to amazing places such as El Nido, Coron Island, and Honda Bay. But, perhaps …
Cliff diving at Ariel’s Point was one of the best things I did while in the Philippines. I previously mentioned Ariel’s Point in my post on Boracay. It is one of my favourite places in the Philippines and I highly recommend going there! Before I arrived in Boracay I had no idea about this place, …
I was watching The Hobbit the other night when I suddenly realised that the film related a lot to my travelling. This should be obvious, considering one of the main premises of the films is travelling across the fictional land of Middle Earth. However, I had never viewed it in that way before, I had just taken …
Returning home after travelling is probably the hardest part of travelling. Basically, because it has finished and you are on longer on the road. Personally, I have now returned home twice from year-long trips and I can say that the first time was harder than the second. Mainly because I knew what to expect come …
