Here is where you will find all my musings, rantings, ravings and other blog posts sharing random thoughts. Mostly these are all travel related, but once in a while I will feel strongly about something and want to share it.
You will also find some of my earliest blog posts if you dig deeply enough. You can sneakily take a look back at how truely awful some of them were. Sadly (or not!) I deleted the worst ones a couple of years ago, so even these are not as bad as it got!
I went to Paris (three times!) – and didn’t go inside the Louvre. There you have it, my shameful secret. I’m fairly sure everyone who visits Paris for the first time goes to see Mona Lisa. I really have no excuse. I was even in Paris on the first Sunday of the month when entry … Read more

Instead I earn points through some domestic flights, credit cards and a few other minor methods. I do not have status … Read more
Frequent flyers can be a bit of a crazy bunch. The lengths that we will go to to gather frequent flyer or hotel points and status cannot be underestimated. There is a well known story from the US about The Pudding Guy. He calculated that the value of the points he could earn far outweighed … Read more
I have been a travel blogger for exactly ten days! So how can I write a “How to…” post? Well, I can’t really, but what I can write about is this state of total confusion I am going through. I am pretty sure that I have no idea what I am doing. The only thing … Read more
Do you have a bucket list? An actual written down list of things to be ticked off? I don’t. There are a whole pile of things floating around in my head that I’d like to do “one day”. I also have someone else’s list I saved from somewhere years ago with some great ideas on … Read more
I have heard this so many times over the last few months. People around me are shocked that Simon and I are heading off for twelve months to travel to Europe, then backpack from there back to Australia.
