The Brighton Beach Huts might just be Melbourne’s biggest icon – sure it may not be huge next to the Opera House, but it’s the little things about Melbourne that make it – it’s not obvious or in your face. And even though you may have to sell a kidney to even close to owning […]

Photo Of The Week – Boston Common
February 3, 2012 by 3 Comments
I love cities with huge parks in the middle of them, so it was only natural that Boston would firmly plant itself in my lift of favourites…although that list seems to grow every time I travel these days! It also reminds me of my home town Melbourne – there’s just something about being able to […]

January 31, 2012 by 5 Comments
Travel is a little bit like fashion – some years certain countries are more ‘in vogue’ than others, and others are cast to the side, readily awaiting their rise to the top again in a few years time. I’ve seen a lot of lists the past few weeks for the best travel destinations of the […]

If you’re living in the Northern Hemisphere, especially Europe, then an Egypt holiday can be a godsend during the winter months. Two years ago I visited Cairo and it was so sunny, bright and interesting that I’ve been dying to go back and explore some more ever since. There’s so much more to do and […]

Photo of The Week – The Washington Monument Mounted Police
January 13, 2012 by 3 Comments
I’m not entirely sure they exist only to protect the Washington Monument, but I imagined these Police did so at the time anyway – it seemed like a cool and heroic thing to be doing for a job, after all. There was something about their blue uniform against the white stone and green grass that […]
