Just under one million Australians make the 9,000-mile trip to the UK each year. That, coupled with the fact that 125,000 Aussies live in the UK (the majority in London), means you’ll likely run into a few ex-pats and fellow Australian tourists on your trip. While, weather permitting, there is no end of things to do in the UK, there is something to be said to catching a Premier League game. Beamed into 212 territories across the globe, the English Premier League has been cited…

With an extensive choice of 8 restaurants and 5 bars, we knew we had found the resort for us! Every restaurant and bar at LUX* had a unique style,…

The Cornish stretch of coastline is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The Maldives has no shortage of overwater bungalows and we had the toughest choice deciding which resort to book for our honeymoon. After what seemed like weeks of research, we settled on LUX* in the beautiful South Ari Atoll thanks to their gorgeous overwater bungalows and rave reviews from previous guests! LUX* is one of the larger resorts in the Maldives, being able to accommodate up to about 300 people and even though we visited during peak season when they were at capacity, it never…

After a whirlwind tour of Sri Lanka, we boarded our hour flight to Male, the capital of the Maldives, or as I like to call it, Heaven on Earth! The Maldives have always been my ultimate honeymoon destination and it almost didn’t feel real to finally be there! I actually had butterflies as I was so excited to be visiting (and honeymooning) in a place which has been at the top of my bucket list for as long as I can remember. For our honeymoon…

Spring is well and truly on its way in the UK and Europe and those memories of the ‘Beast from the East‘, seemingly endless snow and scraping ice off your car windscreen will soon be long gone. One of my favourite memories from living in England was at the end of each winter, when the daffodils would start to bloom everywhere you looked. It was a sign that spring really was just around the corner! Seeing spring flowers bloom is one of the best ways…

Dan and I have had a huge year, we moved across the world, got married, honeymooned in the Maldives and Sri Lanka and a month ago purchased our first home! It certainly wasn’t an easy process but thanks to our organisation we didn’t end up too stressed. We are loving being homeowners but there are also a lot of important administrative things we need to do in order to keep on top of everything! Sorting out your life admin can be tough but also super satisfying…

Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities and I can see why based on the incredible amount of things to see and do. Thanks to great urban planning, Brisbane is a really easy city to get around, and has a fantastic range of things to do, with beautiful, natural wonders right on its doorstep. From its flourishing restaurant, bar and cultural scene to its family friendly areas and beautiful attractions such as the stunning Moreton Bay, lapping on the city edge, there is something…
