Hotel Review: Bunkyard, Udaipur.
Udaipur is somehow different to the rest of India. It’s nicknamed the ‘Romanic City’ for a reason and it’s not hard to see why. It conjures a feeling of an Eastern Venice minus the hoards of tourists and gondolas. It would seem hard to find a hotel or hostel in Udaipur that doesn’t boast incredible…

Postcards from: Rajasthan, India
I cannot remember the first time I wanted to go to India. I just knew I would one day travel there and experience the wonderment that only India seems to be able to provoke. It held this magic to me that I found hard to explain to the concerning and all too easy to…

Top Tips for Epic Safari Photos
“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.” The prospect of safari was where my love affair with photography started. I think we all have grand ideas at one point in our lives about following in the foot steps of Sir David and taking to a plain in Africa to…

The Late Night Musings: Potential Potential.
Potential is one of those loaded words. A word that can be used in both a context of excellence or one of disappointment, conjuring mixed emotions.

A Saturday Morning in South Melbourne
It’s not often that I get a free Saturday; they are normally spent in torturous hours waiting tables (non-serious job prospects, amirite?). So when I do get time off, I try and make the most of it, and in my opinion there is nothing better than a morning spent at the market. I still don’t…

48 hours in Oslo on a budget
Be warned, Oslo is expensive. The whole of Norway is for that matter, consistently ranked among the most expensive countries in the world. Your morning coffee will set you back 37 krone, a not so humble $6! I spent a penny pinched 4 days in Oslo in mid January and ate nothing but rice and…

Where to Brunch in Amsterdam
Brunching may not be what you traditionally associate with Amsterdam but it makes sense for a city of such perceived sin to have wicked eateries for those not able to make it to breakfast at the regular time. Amsterdam before 10am is a strange place, where streets seem oddly empty and the remnants of…

Life Saving Chai
It’s been a long winter; full of evenings watching movies and nights rugged up drinking mulled wine at an Australian version of a Scandinavian market. In these times of great need, when the 40 degree days seem unimaginable and you spend your days studying for mid-years I am always in need of a cup of something to keep…

Postcards From: Morocco
Morocco is, to date, one of the most epic countries I’ve ever travelled. It’s intense, awe-inspiring, shocking, vibrant and mystical. It is Africa and the Middle East in a heady clash of extravagance and poverty. It’s a mix of cultures, histories, religions and time. If you are lucky enough to have arrived by ferry,…
