From thoughtful tiny homes to ones with sprawling lawns, I’m making lists of places I’d want to be when a new day dawns. Now there are some absolute beauties, meticulously styled, And others that make your jaw drop, … Continue reading An Open Letter to Airbnb Owners

But with everything that’s happened … Continue reading Time Is Up On Travel As We Know It
With all this extra time on my hands recently, I’ve been trying my best to fill them with books. The latest, Boy Swallows Universe. I know I may be one of the last people in the world (nay, universe) to read it, so please don’t spoil the ending. As the words consumed me and my … Continue reading Holidaying from Home

The red earth around the small pool of water, although undisturbed, had a sense of inviting, calling us to come and take a seat. In its purest form, we were being welcomed to country. To the land of the Anangu people, … Continue reading At the core of Australia
Getting towards the end of our road trip and, having almost burnt a hole where the odometer used to be, you’d think we might start slowing down. You’d be wrong.
