We left my home heavy hearted, as all my family really wanted us to stay on longer, well we had originally planned to stay over Christmas, and I would have loved to share this experience with Giao. However then we did not know our luck of becoming parents yet. Of course it changed things; all of m…

the place i live.. for now

Went for a walk around Albert Park Lake (again!  :) I love how much walking/running I've done while I've been here) with Steve & Naomi  this morning.  It's their weekend routine, so it was fun to join them on their walk & stop at the Carousel restaurant.  Afer the walk…

I travel to Melbourne at least 2-3 times a year mainly to watch the footy and to do a bit of shopping and each time I go back I love it more and more. If I didn't live in Perth then Melbourne would def be the city I'd want to live in.   This particular trip my brother and I went to Melbourn…

This morning i had a lie in because i really wasnt feeling very well. When we did get up, we caught the train to the city and went to Melbourne museum to see the Ashes exhibition. It was quite interestgin even though there was a bit of a line, but unfortunately we werent allowed to take pictures. …

For my last day in Melbourne, I decided to do a whole bunch of nothing but walked around and taking pictures. I checked out of the hostel around 11am and wandered through the CBD up to the Melbourne Museum and had some breakfast in the park next to the museum. Then I walked through the Fitzroy Gard…

The time has finally come - Project Olympia is in it's final stages. In a few hours from now i will be on the plane jetting to Paris. No nerves, just a strange shaking throughout my entire body as I come to grips with the enormity of the task I am about to undertake. I know there w…

I just flew in from America and boy are my arms tired.  The thing that hurt the most was when I landed on my head.  Apparently, I came down with a case of the Coriolis Effect.  Also, somewhere along the flight I must have broke the space time continuum.  I left Tampa on Saturday…

After 25 hours of flying and waiting at airports, I’m back in Melbourne, finally. Christmas sort of flew out the window for me since it was Christmas morning when I left Cape Town and the end of Boxing Day when I arrived in Melbourne – oh well.   If missing Christmas one year was the pri…

G'day there friends and fellow travellers! Let me introduce myself to those who dont know me. My name is Abbey and I am a 23 year old Australian girl. For the past 12 months I have planning my trip to Africa. Why Africa? Good question. One that is hard to answer other than with complete honesty - s…

Bryony Andrew, Morgan And Finlay take me in. On day one in Melbourne I lost my bag and had to cancel my cards; this left me completely stranded whilst waiting for replacements. For the first few days I stayed on my friend Campbell’s floor. Once it became clear I was (very literally) getting un…

....everybody needs good neighbours" We succumbed to the ultimate cheesiest tour this morning - The Official Neighbour's Tour.  We were picked up at 8.15am by the big bus with neighbours all over it (we were glad it picked us up round the corner from the hostel).  On the bus we were trea…

Thank you for the lovely comments and emails. It's great to read your comments and questions. One person asked me how the food is in Australia and about cooking in hostels. To start with the last question, I actually don't know. I'm 2,5 weeks now in Australia and I haven't cooked dinner once. …
