The Million Ways in which you can Enjoy Eastern Australia : Melbourne

Melbourne is one of the most diversified, vibrant and unique cities I’ve got to visit when I was in Australia. My biggest regret was not staying there longer. The surrounding areas are known to have some of the most beautiful views and activities, so don’t be afraid to get out of the downtown core a little. There are many things that are worth seeing in Melbourne but here’s a few of my personal favourites. 

The Million Ways in which you can Enjoy Eastern Australia : Gold Coast

For those of you who expect me to write about a million things, you may be disappointed. I was ever so slightly exaggerating. I will, however, list a few of my favourites. I will divide each of them by cities, which will be published as a series of article.

GOLD COAST

Byron Bay, NSW, Australia

This picture represents the laid-back, sun-drenched vibe of Byron so perfectly. One of my favorite Australian shot so far!

5 things to know before travelling to Australia

Australia is a land of wonder. It is a land that we know fairly little about outside of the way it is describe by TV and movies. A lucky few will decide to make the journey and will usually come home full of stories and adventures, and a longing to go back. They will make us want to go and experience it for ourselves. That’s how I see Australia. A wild land, with charming people, and a climate and wild life that is out to get us!

Here’s what I’ve learned so far during my stay!

4 Ways in which Gold Coast and Miami are practically the same place!

As some of you may now know, I’ve been travelling to Australia lately to visit a good friend of mine and I’ve been staying in Gold Coast for the most part. The weird thing is, even though I’m quite literally on the opposite side of the world, this place feels weirdly familiar characterizes both places!

Off the Beaten Track – 5 Ways to Escape the Buzz of London Life within an hour of the city!

London is a busy and effervescent city! This is both the reason why I seek it and also felt the need to avoid it every now and again. I’m from a small Canadian town and therefore needed some quiet time and some green space to resource myself every now and then. Here’s a few suggestions for a quick escape!

Filling the void – 5 Steps to battle post-travel depression

There are countless articles that explain how to prepare to move away or travel for a relatively long amount of time. From what to bring to what to expect upon arrival and during the first few weeks, you are pretty much guided through the hardship of becoming a nomad or at least a short-term foreigner in a new country. Mind me, it doesn’t make you want to quit any less when you’ve visited countless repugnant rooms in 5-shares apartment, or settled to apply for the lowest kind of job and still can’t get one despite the fact that you are over-educated for it. But then you go through these, get established and have the most wonderful experience  of your life, period!

Pure Happiness!

I really just needed to share my happiness with the world, so here it is: My flight tickets for Australia are officially booked! From March 1st to April 1st, I’ll be visiting my friend Tash in the Land Down Under and I don’t think I’ve been that happy in a while!

This thrill and excitement that comes from knowing that you’re leaving and seeing the world is incomparable to anything I’ve ever experienced. That’s my own personal addiction. And to get to see my friend, whom I haven’t seen in over a year now… This is perfection! Sun, Beach, waves, really scary crawling insects (every country has some downside), bonfire, kangoroos and more! I can’t wait.

If any of you have any tips or favorite places to share, please do! The more information I gather, the better my trip will be (PS. I’ll be in Queensland most of the trip) so activities around there would be great!

Jane Eyre

I figured since I started with one Brontë sister, it should only be fair to follow up with the other. Charlotte’s most famous novel was Jane Eyre, which came out in 1847. It’s a coming-of-age story that follows the heroine, Jane, from her unfortunate beginning to what we could possibly call some sort of happy ending!

LIEBSTER AWARD

I just got back from work on this rainy gloomy Fall day and I opened my emails (for the first time in a really long while) to see that the amazing Jelena had nominated me for a Liebster award! My initial reaction was : “yeah, I won something” and that was immediately followed by: “what on Earth is a Liebster Award”! Newbie alert!!

I really want to thank Jelena for brightening up my day! I couldn’t stop smiling for the rest of the evening! Jelena’s blog is a little ray of sunshine and she’s been nothing but what this award is all about since she started following my blog: a total sweetheart!
