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.

Travelling through the Alphabet

by Nicole on December 12, 2011

Back when Facebook was boring and Myspace reigned supreme meme’s were what all the cool kids did to express themselves. When Chris from Aussie on the Road tagged me to participate in the A to Z of Travelling my inner 15-year-old jumped at the change to take part. So let’s start at the very beginning [...]

Swissotel Sydney Rooms Door Key

Walking past the buildings entrance on Market Street, you would hardly recognise that this was one of Sydney’s top boutique hotels. With only a faded brass plate hanging against the wall baring it’s name and the white flag hanging in hope of a breeze, it is only if you glance inside and see the plush blue chairs, [...]
