Life in the Tropics Hello Hello family, friends and anyone who has somehow found this page in the middle of the internet. If you don't know me then no doubt the following blog may be a little dissapointing (and indeed that could be the case even if you do know me) unless you just fancy hearing about an English backpacker's perspective on living in Cairns after spending the last year living in Melbourne and in that case you have come to the right place, which would be a pretty huge conincidence but then if traveling and living abroad for over two years now has taught me anything, and I like to think it must have, its that crazy stuff happens every day! Right, didnt intend on starting my first blog in about 6 months with such ... read more

Doesn't time fly Wow! I've been in Australia for a year! (to the day on 1st september.) That is mental! There is no point of trying to retrospectivly blog my year. On one hand too much has happened and on teh other i have essentially just been working, not travelling so its not really the same (which is why the few and far between updates on here finally fizzled out totally.) Here is a brief, annecdoteless summary! Have had an amazing time. 5 Months in Sydney, mostly working in HOME (huge nightclub) and loving it. Made some seriously awsome mates, backpackers and locals. Lived on Bondii beach for 6 weeks in middle of summer and spent final 2 months over xmas living in cool flat in CBD (Darlinghurst) and had incredible time. In seeing Mum and ... read more

Queenstown Hello! I've just received an email from the travelblgo website asking me to come back as its been over 2 months since I even logged in. I think thats a sign for me to write a blog although way more than ever before I am no longer writing about recent events but the past. Never the less, I still wont leave a hole in what I've done so here is gonna be a quick summary of what I got up to in the last four or five weeks I was in New Zealand for. This is basically covering the mnoth of August as on 1st of Septemner I arrived in Sydney where I remained untill now. Ifact about 32 mins ago I booked a one way flight out of here to leave a week on ... read more

Slack Blogger Okay, so however far behind I've been with these blogs in the past this is the furthest away I've been for sure. The last time I published a blog was 83 days ago which is pretty shocking really so firstly a sorry to anyone who has been checking the page to find nothing new. Anyway, what I'm gonna cover today, in attempt to catch up with my travels is to race through the two months I spent in New Zealand over July and August. Seeing as we are now somehow in November I'm gonna be racking my brains but regardless, here goes! So after spending the best part of 6months In glorious equitorial, tropical climates I arrived on July 9th into Auckland to a lovely temperature of 6 degrees. I have never been that ... read more

The End of Asia So, as planned I'm continuing in my catch up quest to get this up to date with my travels. Since the last blog I've been traveling round the North Island of New Zealand which has been amazing so far. Wont go into too many deatails although I feel I should let you all know I managed a Sky Dive Yesterday over Lake Taupo which was amazing. Dropped out of a little plane from 15,000ft and over a minute of freefall before the parachute opens, awesome! Anyway, for now I'm just gonna try and cover my few days in Macau and Hong Kong before I finally flew out of Asia. It was cheaper for me to fly to Macau than Hong Kong so I ended up booking a ticket there instead as als ... read more
