Blog

Many people have asked my how or why I decided to begin to write this blog, and for someone who is studying humanities subjects it really is a little embarrassing. I didn’t begin to write Bitten by the Travel Bug because I was litterly bitten by a bug whilst travelling, neither was it because I had some [...]

Travellers holding hands in the airport

A Travellers Romance

by Nicole on February 14, 2012

Reflection. I’ve spent the morning staring at the same two sentences hastily typed into a Word document, hoping to be inspired into writing a post on love when travelling for Valentines Day; But truth be told I’ve only had two romances on the road, two romances I’m not sure where stand. “This story is but as old as time.

Qantas, Plane, Sydney, Skyline, A380

Welcome to another week of Stumble Bug Sunday – can you believe it’s already been three weeks of awesome reads? I can’t! With the weather warming up in Australia there is so much going on.

Stumble Bug Sunday

Welcome to another week of Stumble Bug Sunday! I loved this weeks reading because I stumbled across both new blogs and new writers on some of my old favourites. With the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, I found much of the weeks readings centered around technology rather than travel. It also caused me to [...]
