Having got back from Santa Cruz and the camping, i almost head straight up to Tahoe to meet up with other friends and who were chilling up there and had invited me to spend new years weekend with them. It was the most chilled new years eve i ever had, with good friends, good drinks and good food. Having taken 2 buses and a train, total 5hr journey to get up there, i can say this place was well worth the trip, as it was calm and beautiful peaceful scenery and that was just what i was after this year. We saw in the new year and made the most of every minute up there, by taking lovely walks around the lake and i even dived into the lake on new years day as it was ... read more

After a 14hour flight from Sydney I lost a day but arrived earlier than i left Sydney in San Francisco!!! Went straight to Levis Plaza and surprised several of my friends who now work in these offices! I am now settled in Hayes, a very quaint area of San Francisco, staying with good friends and having a good time. California so far is a lovely sunny place and i have been very lucky to be shown around by my lovely friend Betty. She takes me to new areas of the city every day and so far we have been to the hippy quarters, to Alamo square, to Union Square, to Fishermans wharf, out to Oakland and to Mission too. Many more places to be covered, but next stop will be our road trip down south to ... read more

This was definitely a nice spot, somewhere i wish I would've stayed for longer, but unfortunately i was counting the days at this stage for my last days in Oz before flying off to the US. So two days it was, to be spent at the Aquarius backpackers, a lovely spot, very friendly and again met some lovely people. Shared with lovely girls from Eastern Europe, Brazil, Sweden and Canada!!! Here in Byrons, the weather was not wet but not boiling either so not really full beach weather. This was naughty in the sense that i ended up spending my days browsing the shops and spending money i should not have been spending! However, saying that, i have some lovely souvenires or pieces should i say from there and i will always remember this place as ... read more

Arrived in Noosa Heads and went straight to the lovely Halse Lodge down by the beach. I was just in time for an afternoon at the beach which was literally 150meters from the lodge. This one i must say was probably the nicest backpackers i stayed at, it was a very colonial wooden building and i luckily had a room with just 5 others sharing, 6 in total. I head straight to meet my lovely friend Maisie whom i had met on Fraser. Instead of doing a walk along the national park and ocean, we sat on the beach chatting all afternoon, literally until sunset. That night we decided to take it easy and spend a girly evening treating ourselves to a nice meal and bottle of wine which was just perfect and very much needed ... read more

So got myself up to Airlie beach via Hamilton island on the whitsundays, to be met by rain, well tropical warm rain, however not good for sailing trip. Still it was perfect so that i could catch up on admin and downloading pics etc. Two days later the sun shone just as i headed out on the Powerplay catamaran for the 2 days sailing around the whitsunday islands. The crowd onboard were fun and the nice too. The sailing experience was nice all in all and Whithaven beach did live up to its world class beach status. The weather luckily was perfect for sailing and sunbathing, so no complaints there. Made some lovely new friends onboard and had a great time. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the dolphins swim around the boat at night. It was magical. However, ... read more
