Recently, I was lucky enough to secure a ticket to the popular Van Gogh Alive art exhibition that has been popping up around the globe. I didn’t quite know what to expect, as frankly I had a very limited understanding of Van Gogh and had up until this point remembered him as the artist whoContinue reading “Van Gogh Alive || Immersing myself in a global art exhibition”

Nurseries, coastal walks & picnics || Ideas for your next catchup
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot more creative and putting more effort into planning ideas for social gatherings. Especially since dining at a cafe or restaurant is a bit more of a hassle than it was before (especially for larger groups), I’m finding greater enjoyment in doing activities with friends that require a bit moreContinue reading “Nurseries, coastal walks & picnics || Ideas for your next catchup”
Picturesque villages of the Southern Highlands, Bowral & Berrima || Nowra Roadtrip Day 2 (afternoon)
Before I succumb to my procrastination tendencies and completely forget – here is the last post about the last limb of my two day trip to Nowra.

Drive to Fitzroy Falls and other small detours || Nowra Roadtrip Day 2
The first official day of exploring the surrounding regions of Nowra included no other than a visit to the famous Fitzroy Falls, located in Morton National Park about a 41km drive via Kangaroo Valley and Nowra Road.

Shirakawa-go // Japan 2019
Shirakawa-go is one of Japan’s rural villages which has landed a spot on the World Heritage Site, and it is not difficult to understand why. The town has picturesque scenery, its surrounding mountains shrouded in white mists which evoke a sense of mystique. Easy to get to from Takayama (just a single bus trip fromContinue reading “Shirakawa-go // Japan 2019”
Hirayu Onsen // Japan 2019
While we didn’t see any snow travelling to Shirakawa-go, surprisingly, there was so much snow at Hirayu Onsen! With the sun so bright and the snow glistening white, it was truly the White Christmas I’d been looking for after living so many years in Australia (and yes, I arrived on Christmas Day!). Hirayu Onsen isContinue reading “Hirayu Onsen // Japan 2019”
