• MY LITTLE MELBOURNE STORY

    The final destination. The grand finale of my journey and the least Australian city that strangely felt like my homeland. Melbourne is the capital that everyone wishes for. Everything you need in life is available here: arts, culture, shopping, global cuisine, nature, beach, three seasons. Almost endless options for entertainment and exploration. And what did…

  • 5 DAYS FROM SYDNEY TO MELBOURNE

    After a satisfying bonus day in Sydney, I was ready for an adventure. Only the very little sleep (5 hours), the early wakeup, and finding an Uber on Sunday morning made it challenging to get going.. but after the last sip of coffee, I called a Bolt and finally headed to the Sydney Airport to…

  • HOW TO SPEND 5+1 DAYS IN SYDNEY

    If I hadn’t come to Australia because of a dick interest, I probably would have started my Downunder experience in Sydney. Why? Because it’s Sydney. People either love or hate (or love to hate?) the Harbour City. At this point, I’m leaning more towards loving it, but as a matter of fact, I haven’t spent…

  • FROM AIRLIE BEACH TO GOLD COAST | QUEENSLAND

    After spending three weeks with the turtles on Quoin Island, it was time to return to civilization, and frankly, it scared the shit out of me. Travelling in Australia is amazing (I don’t mean the strict rules and speed limits), but if you only spend a short time in the land of OZ (five months…

  • SEA TURTLES OF QUEENSLAND

    After leaving the Brisbane winter spring, my first stop was Gladstone. I’m a beach person, and although I’ve heard legends (and horror stories) about the outback, it didn’t particularly interest me, so I’ve stuck to the coast during my travels. HelpX is an amazing platform and works very well in Australia. You can find various…

  • WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA | BRISBANE

    This is my big Australian story, and I don’t know how I feel about it. I never wanted to come to Australia; somehow, it didn’t call me, and I’ve only met Aussies in Bali, who have a bad reputation for good reasons (generally speaking). So, even though a visit had been in the air since…
