I feel like this last week has given me the opportunity to reflect on my last six months as a backpacker. Time as a backpacker has been incredible, I have met wonderful people and have taken away so much from each and everyone, noting characteristics and personality traits which everyone loves and also realising through others areas that I need to work on. This journey has truly made me learn to apreciate the little things in life like being able to read a book i...

The past few weeks have been so much fun! Chelsey and I loved our week with Lauriely and Rob in Airlie beach.

Chelsey rode in the car with Helen the host and I rode in the uht with Ashley the host. I was very excited t...

Our first day in Byron bay was A LOT of fun!! We spent the afternoon on the beach, playing in the surf and admiring the sights that byron had to offer! On our way back we decided to treat ourselves to a happy hour drink which turned out to be very beneficial because whilst we were having a drink we got chatting to the reps from the travel agent across the street who ended up giving us a very good deal for our buses and trips! However they took their sweet time in...
