Back on the road again! So I've been a little slow with my posts, and I know I promised at least one post a week but lately has been crazy. First of all, I had to quit my job. For those of you who don't know how the Australian Working Holiday Visa works, you … Continue reading Skip forward to Western Australia, Karijini National Park
A Hybrid Lifestyle: a lesson in life management Are you rich in wallet or rich in heart? I feel there seems to be 2 kinds of rich, and those riches can be broken down into all sorts of categories too but I’m here talking about the 2 main kinds; Heart and Wallet. Both are quite … Continue reading Are you truly Rich?
Let’s re-learn to relax! My review of Byron Bay is a wannabe hippy town. I loved it. It is where all the tourists go to sit in the sun, have a little surf, shop till you drop and party like no tomorrow.

I'm feeling really good today. We were able to help out a friend with his travel plans with our personal experience. He was done with the working life of this town so he left his flat and moved in with us until he was ready to leave. We helped him up with a flight to … Continue reading Paying it forward makes me happy
