Tips for vanlife
My husband has just taken my van Geisha away for a solo adventure to South Australia. He asked me for tips for #vanlife, so I checked back on my notes from my big trip. Here’s what I told him… First tip is to fill up your water bottles at the start of each day –…
Relaxing at Tiny House Tamborine
We loved every moment of our relaxing weekend at Tiny House Tamborine. Nestled among the trees on a wee hobby farm, this Airbnb is located at the base of Tamborine Mountain. With butcherbirds and kookaburras for company it’s so peaceful and we could hear the nearby stream and a rooster crowing in the distance. At…
Are we still sending postcards?

Road trippin’ solo at 74 – be like Karen
My lovely neighbour Karen just got home after driving around the country for 2 months in a campervan. She’s 74 years old, and a total inspiration. I asked her what prompted her to hit the road, and she said that while she’d made sure her 3 sons had visited important places like Uluru, she had…
Watermelon steak… lunch at Locavore
Locavore is touted as one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia. Thanks to an amazing wedding gift from some friends, we had the pleasure of dining there while in Bali on our honeymoon. When we went to book, we discovered it was Locavore’s last week of service – Locavore was about to close its…
