With our first week of travel in Colombia under our belts, Josh and I left Santa Marta and headed towards the heart of Colombia, Medellin. We checked straight into Selina Medellin Hostel with thanks to Hostelworld. So far my Spanish was slowly coming back to me from my college days, but the daily struggle to …
THE WEEKLY
I packed my life’s possessions into my backpacking bag, headed off to the airport and dropped it on the scale at the check-in desk. The electronic scale beeped twice then flashed the numbers 13.4kg. That’s what my life had boiled down to. 13.4 kg of checked baggage and a backpack of camera gear. I was …
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]My 99th week of travels kept me in Australia for a pretty special reason. My cousin, Jennifer was getting married to her now husband Greg Newman on Hamilton Island, Queensland. I was fortunate enough to finish up my work with the Tourism Board of Northern Territory the night before the wedding. I flew to Cairns …
After an epic week in Kakadu, Dan and I jumped straight into another content creation campaign. We spent one night back in Darwin before embarking on our journey to Litchfield National Park on a campaign for Northern Territory Tourism Board. Going back to back means that you don’t really have time to consolidate the content …
An arduous combination of four flights guided me from Tel Aviv, Israel all the way to Darwin Australia. Long haul flights never get easier but when there is an epic week of adventures waiting for you at the other end, you pull through. This week Dan Moore and I arrived in Darwin, which is in the …
Israel. It’s a place I knew little about. In my head, I think I pictured it as a dusty, middle eastern country with a lot of rich history. I knew it was a place of pilgrimage and huge religious importance. However, a few days before I left the Philippines, I asked Nic if he thought …
The last week of our epic three-week Romblon adventure was here. We said goodbye to Romblon, Romblon and also to Dan. He headed back down under and left the last week of adventures to Nic and I. We jumped over to Sibuyan on the ferry and didn’t waste any time getting stuck into the adventures. …
After our epic week in Tablas, we headed on to Romblon, Romblon. The entire province is called Romblon but it is also the name of this individual island, which was the traditional hub for the province. Dan and Nic were still with me for the week of adventures and we definitely explored Romblon in depth! …
Last week the media trip with the tourism board of The Philippines ended in Bicol. I had decided to stay in the Philippines for another 3 weeks. But where to explore. Having already visited the main tourist hotspots on my initial backpacking trip to the Philippines, I opened up the map and looked at my …
Week 92 was a moment to embark on a new adventure. I boarded a plane from Denpasar, Bali with Nic Morley and headed to Manila, Philippines. After three weeks in Bali of putting in some hustle on the blog and some technical tasks, I was stoked to be bound for another big adventure. For the …
Two years ago I hit publish on the Journey Era blog. Little did I know, the moment my finger clicked that button would change my life forever. I was living on Oahu, a tropical island in Hawaii. I was in the last semester of my journalism degree. Sitting in the back row of classes, I …
90 weeks. Yikes. That’s a figure that puts this unquantifiable journey into a numerical perspective. My 90th week on the road was spent in Bali. Yes, I am still here. I’ve made Bali my base for this three-week period in an attempt to recover my body, catch up on work and chill. It hasn’t been …
