Went back to Noosa for the first time since February! It's doable as a day trip from Brisbane, but only barely.

My newest blog post is online! Check it out to see what I did and where I went during my seventh month here in Australia! 🇦🇺🦘

Hello, travel enthusiasts! I recently finished my seventh month in Australia on a year-long Working Holiday Visa (WHV), and in this blog post, I’ll be sharing what I’ve been up to and how things are going. Ever since I arrived in Australia, I’ve been based in Brisbane...

Went up to the Sunshine Coast yesterday for the first time since February! It's a beautiful area, but unfortunately it's just not that easy to get to on public transit. The Gold Coast, meanwhile, has the infrastructure to make day trips pretty straightforward.

I'll probably try to go back up this way a few more times, but it takes about 3 hours each way, whereas getting to the Gold Coast from Brisbane takes about 2 hours.

The Gold Coast's Home of the Arts is a must-see on your next trip to the city! They've got so many cool exhibits, and entry is free!

Been taking a lot of wave pics lately. It's easier to capture gradients of blue in the water right before the wave crests
