    It’s been 7 weeks now since I took off – on the path I always thought I’d follow. I find myself in Africa partly because of an apparent “quarter life crisis” millennial’s sometimes experience these days. You know, when you’re almost 30 years old and think: “shit, I thought I would’ve achieved more by now.”…

    5 reasons we survived 7 months camping together Many people have asked me whether James and I fought during the 7 months we camped around Australia. My answer? Of course we did! We fought passionately. We yelled, cried, cursed and screamed at each other. Who wouldn’t? Camping for 7 months can be bloody hard work!…

    You read it right; if you ask me which trip I enjoyed more – Australia or Africa – my answer is 100% Australia. Surprising response from someone who has been dreaming of travelling Africa since age 4. Nannie and Pa brought home photos of their Africa trip in 96, and I was immediately transfixed by…

    The NT still has that undiscovered authenticity, where places are quiet, crocs are lurking and landscapes change dramatically. A trip up the red center in a 4×4 is an epic Aussie experience. Here are our favourite spots en-route Alice to Darwin. Stopovers Darwin bound Checkout Daly Waters Pub for an authentic Aussie lunch or an…

    Australia. The great land of opportunity! In 2016 many young Aussies don’t seem to think so. Most of us view Australia as small fry; a splodge on the corner of the world map. There’s a bit of a “getting out” and “moving on” kind of attitude. But I’ve realised that everything I was looking for…

    I’m going to tell you the truth, because honesty seems to be lacking a bit in this world. I balled my eyes out when we left Pearcedale in Luxi on Jan 26th to drive around Australia. The weather was miserable and so was I. I was confused. I had no idea whether it was the…

    My Dad is one of those farmers who denies that it’s raining. Water falls from the sky but apparently it’s not the “proper” kind of rain. Well Dad, 125ml running a lake through your tent certainly looks like “proper” rain to me. I’m proud to be taking the photo proof home. Not only did we…

    So we bought a block of land, built a house and have settled down. I’m in the kitchen cooking dinner whilst James is building the front deck. Just kidding!! We have chosen a campsite, put up our tent, and I’m cooking pasta whilst James pegs out the tent fly. Travelling as a young couple around…

      Connection. What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you read the word? Do you think of connecting to the internet or plugging your phone into power? It makes you wonder, has the meaning of the word connection been somewhat redefined by technology? Camping can make you feel completely connected and in…

    2 minute noodles, baked beans and canned soup. These are the camp food essentials right? Wrong! If you’re stuck in the dark ages of bunker style camp meals you will be in for a bad case of food envy on your next weekend away! We made the mistake of stocking up on these high salt, high…

    One of the most beneficial health outcomes of outdoor adventuring is the amount of incidental exercise you pack into each day. From walking to the toilet block, to setting up the tent, you are constantly burning energy. James and I currently average at 20,000 steps a day, more than double the daily recommended. We are…

    Falls music Festival, Byron Bay. What a way to bring in 2016! A music festival like no other. So random, so arty, so weird, so wonderful, that you might actually feel like you’ve run away with the circus. We tackled the 4 day marathon as a couple but everyone is so friendly that by day…
