I’ve been living in Brisbane for most of the past decade, but I’ve always lived more in the outer suburbs, so heading into the city for the day really still has that feeling of a proper day trip out. It’s kind of an old school thing, but for us it is exciting to get dressed [...]
Today's travel photo is a night shot of the city of Queenstown with the Remarkables mountain range in the distance in New Zealand. I actually took this photo from the holiday park we were staying in with our campervan after spending the afternoon and evening in town. Queenstown is a beautiful spot at any time [...]
New Zealand is a hiking enthusiast's dream, with hundreds of amazing hiking trails scattered all over the country. With New Zealand's breathtaking scenery, hiking is one of the best ways to see it as the trails allow you to get up close and personal with the stunning natural landscapes that the country has to offer.

It has been 11 years since I last visited New Zealand, so a return trip was well over due. It would also be Veronika's first time in the country, so I was keen to show her why I love New Zealand so much. We only had 8 days for this trip, so I decided to [...]
This is day 19 to 24 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek I had been on the trail for nearly three weeks, trekking well over 200 kilometres over tough terrain and most of it at high altitude, often over 5000 metres, and now I was [...]
Today's travel photo is of the rushing white water coming from the glacial lake of the Mueller Glacier in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. I took this photo while hiking the Hooker Valley trail while camped at Mount Cook. The Hooker Valley trail is a short but spectacular walk and one of the [...]
This is day 19 of my 24 day trek through the Khumbu region of Nepal -> View all posts for this trek My alarm went off at 4:30am but I hadn't really been sleeping anyway. Sleep is hard to come by at over 5000 metres (16500ft) in altitude and I had been in and out of [...]
Today's travel photo is of Lake Pukaki, looking north towards a cloud covered Mount Cook on the South Island of New Zealand. You may think that I have photoshopped the hell out of that lake, but I actually haven't. Lake Pukaki really is that beautiful colour, having being fed from the melt water from the [...]
Melbourne is a city that I took way too long to go and visit. I'm Australian born and bred and have lived here all of my life, but in my 32 years I had never gone to Australia's second largest (and some would argue, most popular) city. This year, I finally changed that, and I [...]
Today's travel photo is of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. This is the first photo I have posted from my recent trip to New Zealand's South Island. This tiny church on the shores of Lake Tekapo is a popular site and has to be the most famous church in [...]
