Finally I managed to drag myself over to Sydney, to visit my dearest friend Grace, who lives with Leah, and also visited Jade. All girls who have bravely left there homes for bigger city with big opportunities and to chase their dreams, I admire them all so much. When I think about it, Sydney would be incredibly easy to live in. I was only there for six days, but it felt like home after a few days especially being surrounded by friends. I was so lucky to have my own personal tour guides, which I know I won't be as lucky with in future travels, it truly is a privilege. The city is filled with culture, a million quirky cafes, side streets to get lost in, cute little streets with quaint little houses and bundles of markets and great shops. I loved every minute of this place and having only been in Perth for a number of hours, I already am ready to go back. Visiting Sydney really put traveling into perspective for me, and now my feet are even itchier. Fingers crossed this year and goes by super quickly. It's amazing that you can sometimes feel more at home in places you don't even know, having spent my whole childhood living in places no more than a year, I feel change is in my blood. Whenever we would arrive in a new town or city, I would jump for joy at the fact I got to explore a new place, weather it be the english country side, a bustling city or the sandy outback. I think that adventurous child within me will always be there.

hillary's














Jorden treated me  to a day out at hillary's boat harbour, which is actually a lovely spot in Perth. I took my camera to try and teach myself to get off the easy auto setting. These photos were shot in RAW mode and I'm defiantly going to invest in a new lens and start becoming more experimental. I'm trying to get better so I'm a pro for Europe. The weather was a bit temperamental, it seemed to go from cold winds to beaming sun rays, my crochet dress with my black leggings with boots was the perfect in between weather outfit. Our day consisted of the fast consumption of burgers, awing at fish in the aquarium, walks along the jetty, lots of ice cream and a brand new beautiful dress from a little boutique. (Thank you Jorden)

indonesia, bali
















What a wonderful experience Bali was, (apart from the small hiccup of sickness) with such wonderful people. I had the pleasure of spending a full ten days with my best friend who I barely see as she is hiding away in Sydney enjoying the big city life. I know I'm probably one of the last Australians to experience Bali, but I now understand the hype. It was so wonderful to spend days on end relaxing and just doing whatever I felt like. It also made me realise how lucky I am, and I admired the Balinese and their happiness with such a simple lifestyle. They are such kind and friendly people who appreciate everything. Even though I went way back in February I'm only starting to reflect back on it all now. Here are just a few photos of my trip. 1) Kuta Beach street 2) Scooters in Kuta 3) Construction in Kuta 4) Demolition site 5) Overgrown fence in Kuta 6) Jenkins the Squirrel 7) Petrol 8) Relaxing by the pool 9/10/11) Potato Head, Seminyak 12) Friendly Monkeys 13)Friends 14) Potatoe Head
