Sometimes, eating well on the go is a challenge. No matter if you’re out for the day or on a long road trip, here are 5 easy travel snacks that are cheap, reasonably healthy (we all have different health needs so it’s relative!), definitely better than fast food, and easy to transport. 5 Easy […]
Australian Mobile Broadband
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
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 […]
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 […]

Cedar Creek

Centenary Place Park – Fortitude Valley
As a city worker for years now, I like to take any opportunity I can to get into Brisbane’s parks and relax in my lunch breaks. Centenary Place was a park that I had been past many times, but never actually been to! So I took the opportunity to go for a little walk one day. […]
Small Planes
Small Planes Yesterday I went in the smallest plane I’ve ever been in (at least in my memory – could have been in smaller as a kid & not know it). It was a Dash 8 propellor plane on a short Qantas flight. The main thing I noticed was the annoying person next […]
Brisbane River Walk
The good thing about living and working in a city that is based around the river is that it’s always easy to get there for some fresh air. That’s pretty rare in many cities. Brisbane has a number of walking paths (and cycling paths) that hug the river, so it’s really just a case of […]
