Discover What to See and Do in Adelaide
This was my first trip to Adelaide and I will admit that I didn’t know a lot about this city. In fact I knew two things about Adelaide. One was the Barossa Valley and the other was the Grand Prix (until Melbourne stole it). Actually come to think of it, I remember reading once, that Adelaide was once called the city of churches. Not because there happens to be a lot of them, but because there are many religions that co-exist in Adelaide. Now, as I was a first time visitor to Adelaide, I began digging around the internet to see what I could actually see and do in…

Sending Postcards from Montenegro
I’ve always wanted to send a few postcards from Montenegro. I had been longing to visit this country ever since I received some postcards from a good friend who had grown up there. I loved looking over this friend’s photos from what seemed to be her endless summer holidays. I was wishing I could visit those beaches along the Adriatic sea, the magnificent fiords and the impressive scenery of the National Parks. So with a few post cards in my hand, I set about turning this dream to see Montenegro into a reality. Montenegro Montenegro is a beautiful country that is located in Eastern Europe and shares it’s borders with…

Gardens By The Bay – A World Wonder
Gardens by the Bay is one of Singapore’s most visited tourist attraction and indeed this was one place I was really excited about visiting. Having seen many photos of these spectacular gardens, I had became quite fascinated by it’s imposing and futuristic look. So much so that it became the sole reason I was visiting Singapore. Gardens by the Bay opened in 2011 and is set over 101 hectares of spectacular plant life, parks, water features and the futuristic vertical gardens. The most popular being the colourful SuperTree gardens, Flower Dome, Cloud forest and the OCBC Skyway. Your entry ticket covers the whole grounds including the super tree grove, but if…

A Day Trip to Mostar
A little while back I took a day trip to Mostar. I had wanted to visit Mostar for quite sometime and being so close in Croatia, I thought it’s a now or never time to tick this off my bucket list. Mostar is a little picturesque town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The old town centre gives you an idea of what Mostar would have been like centuries ago. At the heart of the old town is the main tourist attraction – a single arched stone bridge, called ‘Stari Most’. This historic bridge is the subject of many beautiful photographs, paintings and a platform for an age old diving tradition by…

A Trip Down Haji Lane in Singapore
A trip down Haji Lane in Singapore is well worth checking out and will no doubt add a splash of colour to your visit. Haji Lane is a little street tucked away near the Arab district, (easily missed if you don’t know about it) that pays homage to some fabulous street art. The walls of some of the buildings make for some fabulous photography opportunities or simply to just admire. There is a steady stream of tourists visiting the area during the day, but it’s not as overly crowded as other tourist spots. The narrow lane’s walls are filled with cool larger than life street art and inside these colourful…

Walking the Walls of Dubrovnik
Walking the walls of Dubrovnik is an experience you should not miss when paying a visit to the Old Town. Dubrovnik’s walled city is unique in that it is completely intact, giving you the chance to walk continuously along the walls right back to your starting point. The view looking down from the top gives you a great perspective of the city inside. Looking outwards, you get the sense of the of how impenetrable these walls are and how it’s location is of strategic significance. Every angle offers a different view of the town, the ocean and the islands beyond. If you are a die hard fan of Game of…

The Shirley Valentine Beach
“The only thing I ever wanted to do was travel. I’d like to drink a glass of wine, sitting by the sea, watching the sun go down”. Shirley Valentine. A long time ago in my late teens, I remember my mother going to the movies to see Shirley Valentine. At the time I thought it was just a movie for oldies and I never thought anything more about it. That was until many years later, in my early 30s. I was a stay at home mum with two kids of my own. I often had the television on in the background, whilst running after two young kids, but on…
