This is one of the things I’ve missed about living in the UK. We spent a brilliant afternoon doing nothing in particular on the beach and taking in the views across the UK’s coastline.

Souvenirs are an essential part of any holiday and while for the most part, holiday souvenirs are pure ‘tat’ and items almost produced with an immediate future in a dustbin somewhere, other pieces of holiday souvenirs can easily become treasured items that are reminders of the amazing time you had away. Here are a … Continue Reading
Las Vegas is awesome and a holiday to Las Vegas is one you can do all year round on account of the amazing weather it has (it’s effectively in the dessert to be fair). This is exactly why I wanted to share an essential guide to visiting Las Vegas. After all, there’s a heap of … Continue Reading
Okay, being Australian is not the only prerequisite for helping out here. In fact, there’s only one pre-requisite and that’s if you watch the TV show ‘Home and Away’.
