Travel Inspiration
After a few months in Melbourne, mostly staying in the city and partying every weekend, I was getting a little stir-crazy. Itching to take a day trip outside the city and explore somewhere else in Victoria, I started pestering my friends about renting a car or finding some way to go on an adventure and...

From hostel life with 11 other people in my room to my private space in my apartment, it's been an electrifying whirlwind. I have an immense amount of gratitude for... Continue Reading →
I'm in Australia, and I'm loving it! It's been hard to find a moment to write a post summarizing my experiences because it's all been a whirlwind so far and I still have a lot of time that I'll be spending in this country. I arrived in Sydney on January 26th (Australia Day!) and spent 3... Continue Reading →
