  • Australian Mobile Broadband

    Posted on April 26, 2016September 22, 2017

    Australian Mobile Broadband   Can you get a decent amount of downloads, with decent coverage, without taking out a second mortgage?   That’s the golden question for anyone traveling in Australia. We don’t necessarily have plans to go location independent right now, but I was listening to an RV podcast last week and one question […]

  • Education vs Embarrassment

    Posted on February 17, 2016September 22, 2017

    I remember the first time I went overseas, specifically to the US. I was 7 years old (and with my family, obviously)   We went into a restaurant – I’m not sure which one, but I know it was sit down, booth style. Probably your run of the mill chain restaurant. I was walking in […]

    Applying Your Instincts To Travel

    I read two fascinating posts last week on yTravel Blog and Wandering Earl about instincts and travel. I don’t have anything quite as dramatic as those stories, but it did make me think about some experiences in my past.   A few years ago I was supposed to go away for a week on a work […]

  • Enjoying My 30th Birthday In My Backyard

    Posted on November 4, 2015September 25, 2017

    As much as I do believe that you can travel and enjoy your own backyard, sometimes it doesn’t compare to the thrill of the unknown. Yet, other times, it’s amazing and you can appreciate the lifestyle you have – a lifestyle others have to travel for and can’t enjoy year-round.   Yesterday was my 30th […]

    3 Easy Ways To Save For Travel

    As fantastic as travel is, it can be expensive on top of the rest of life’s expenses. That’s certainly one reason I haven’t been able to travel as much as I would have liked to in recent years. While traveling in your own “backyard” can help control the travel bug, you often still feel that […]

    Bad Travel Advice

    Last year I was flicking through Pinterest and ended up on a mainstream website that had all these travel tips and advice for hotels. Some of it was the usual stuff like knowing where your emergency exits are and checking that your door actually does lock – all pretty fair, logical and safe.     […]

    Posted on May 27, 2015September 25, 2017

    I did a lot of my traveling when I was in school – which was now a little while ago! In recent years I’ve been staying in the one place for work and study, but that doesn’t meant the travel bug isn’t still gnawing away at me. One thing I do get a bit particular […]

  • Nundah Fresh Farmers Markets

    Posted on April 29, 2014September 25, 2017

    Brisbane and its suburbs have a huge selection of markets for the population. I think it’s safe to say that markets, particularly farmers markets, have been a very successful enterprise in and around South East Queensland.   I actually lived in Nundah years ago when these markets were first introduced. They were very busy at […]
