"I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.”
- Rosalia de Castro

Just the musings of a 22 year old Canadian girl who loves nothing more than traveling, meeting new people, pushing myself to experience new things...

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson

I will be updating this blog semi-regularly, I really enjoyed sending travel emails from Europe and thing that to be able to put these entries out in public so future travelers can also enjoy them will be great- plus I can add photos and even video on here quite easily. So be in touch, email me and keep checking this place for updates...

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
- Jack Kerouac

So I know I haven't posted a blog entry in SO long, but rest assured, I have a lot of them written, and will get them posted on here... Even though you probably won't care to read them anymore cause you won't miss me cause I'll be home! I did want to write one final post from Australia, and although I'd love it to be hugely reflective, I only had a dollar coin left and that only gives me ten minutes, and you all know I went on Facebook before I came to this site. I have had an absolutely incredible [View Full Entry]

Woke up after a awful night's sleep - Daniela was sharing a double bed with me and definitely wanted to kill me I was moving around so much! Took the bus from Byron Bay up to Surfers Paradise. The bus trip took about an hour and a half, and we are now in the state Queensland, which is also a different time-zone, even though we're no further east. The name of Surfers Paradise is kind of deceiving. This place is incredibly commercial, with tons of high-rise buildings, tourist traps everywhere, tons of fast food and everything. Everywhere you go someone [View Full Entry]

I woke up really early because I had fallen asleep so early the night before, and got showered and packed up. Once I was ready the girls were just waking up, so I went to the reception of our hotel where there was free wireless. Caught up on some e-mails and did a little research for what's coming up on our trip, and then we checked-out and took a taxi into town. We decided to stay in Byron Bay one extra day, but decided we wanted to stay somewhere a little more central, so we're staying at a nice hostel [View Full Entry]

Today was a really funny day- we visited the Happy Hippie town of Nimbin. We were supposed to be picked up for our day trip there at 10:20, at about 10:55 a rainbow painted mini-bus rolled into our driveway. We jumped aboard and met Ivan, our South African tour guide who clearly was living on Nimbin time. We drove the about hour to Nimbin, and on the way he played lots of good music, and told us a bit of the history of Nimbin. During the Vietnam war, a lot of Australians avoiding the draft went in from the coast and [View Full Entry]

Had another big sleep-in! Then we sat around my laptop at the restaurant here using the free wireless to figure out our Greyhound busses for the next while, and booking some accommodation. The girls then took a walk on the beach while I uploaded some more blogs, then took the bus into town. I have been having some weird hip pain since taking my tumble in the Blue Mountains so I had a massage at a really really hippie-ish place called the Byron Bay Healing Wheel. It was really nice and I left feeling a bit better. After my massage I [View Full Entry]

Had a big sleep in, then walked down to the beach, right by our resort. We just sat on the bit of dry sand and lay out for a while, with some occasional fearful nudist sightings. Took a bit of a swim and then came back into the resort when it started to rain. Had a really quiet chill day, and made some pasta and garlic bread for dinner. That night we watched some TV - the Biggest Loser Australia is on practically every single night here, so we've been enjoying that. We also did some planning for the next few [View Full Entry]

Had a painfully early morning this day so we could catch an eight o'clock coach to catch. Had a bit of a sleep, a lunch break, and then arrived in Byron Bay at about 1pm. We caught a taxi to our resort, which is called Byron Bay Beach Resort. For our purposes it is perfect- we are in our own cabin which actually looks a lot like a camp cabin from the outside. Inside there are two single beds and a double bed, a comfortable futon, a table and chairs and a good kitchen. And, to our immense pleasure, a TV [View Full Entry]

Had a good sleep in, and then packed up our bags for a day at the beach. We had lunch at the Hog's Breath Bar where we got a twenty-five percent discount because we were staying at Aussitel. It really is a great hostel - a perfect balance of fun things to do and great people to chill with, but still perfectly clean - at least the bathroom and room was, we didn't use the kitchen. After lunch we headed down to one of Coffs many gorgeous beaches, I did some swimming and just generally chilled, then headed back in to [View Full Entry]

Today we had a not too early start, to catch our Greyhound to Coff's Harbour at 9:30. We spent the day on the coach, but it wasn't too painful- I finished the book I was reading then wrote a bunch of these journal entries till my laptop's battery died, then just listened to my iPod. Including a couple meal breaks the journey took about seven and a half hours. Got picked up at the Greyhound by a Canadian kid who works here at our hostel, checked in, and I sat down and wrote this blog entry! Tonight we're going to [View Full Entry]

Woke up really early to get our Greyhound bus to Newcastle. Got there around 10, hung out in our hotel's lounge for about an hour then checked into our room. Another YHA, another clean nice room. It was just the four of us in the room again, which was nice. We walked the 100 meters to the gorgeous, wide and very uncrowded beach. We lay out in the sun, swam a bit and just generally enjoyed the beautiful hot weather that had evaded us for so long. I headed back to the hostel when I felt like I had had enough [View Full Entry]
