Travel Diary: Sydney Part 2
On our second day in Sydney, we had our eyes set on Bondi Beach. I mean, did you even visit Sydney if you didn’t touch the Opera House and take a swim at Bondi Beach? Haha! We had read that there’s a beautiful coastal walk leading to Bondi and decided to walk it. Said and done, after breakfast, we…
Travel Diary: Sydney Part 1
After our 9 day long cruise, we arrived back to Sydney, Australia on December 8th. We arrived in the morning and my boyfriend, my dad and I got up at 5 am to watch the arrival from up on deck. Arriving at Sydney by ship while the sun rises is not something you do every…
Travel Diary: At Sea Part 2
When we sailed away from Lifou, we had two days at sea before we got back to Australia. I was almost as bad at taking photos during these days at sea as I was on the first two days of this cruise. One morning though, I decided to go on a little photography stroll. I…
Travel Diary: Lifou
Let’s go back to my cruise around the Pacific Ocean which I went on in December! My mom scolded me last week for “uploading rainy Stockholm photos” when she wanted to see more photos from our trip, haha! So on behalf of my mother, here is our fourth and last stop of the cruise –…
Travel Diary: Nämdö
Before I continue with my posts from my trip around the Pacific Ocean, I want to share what I did two weeks ago! As you know, I’m all for exploring places nearby. You do not have to travel to the other side of the world to see something new! I proved that by exploring the…
Travel Throwback Thursday: London 2015
It’s Thursday, so let’s have a throwback on my trip to London 2015! I was so sure that I already had written about this one, but when I did my blog post with plans for 2020 and wanted to include a photo from Warner Bros Studio Tour – I realized that I hadn’t, haha. Oh well, here…
Travel Diary: Port Vila
Let’s continue with my travel diaries, this time from Port Vila! Our third stop on our cruise was the capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila. This was my least favorite stop on this whole trip because I hated being a tourist there. Vanuatu has only been independent since 1980. Like many other “new” countries, they are dependent on…
Travel Diary: Mystery Island
The day after our stop in Nouméa, we visited Mystery Island which is one of the islands in Vanuatu. I have dreamt about visiting Vanuatu since 2016 when Disney’s Moana was released. The movie is inspired by many different islands in the Pacific Ocean and I saw a documentary about the story’s origin. In that…
Travel Diary: Nouméa
After two days at sea, we had reached our first stop of the cruise: Nouméa, New Caledonia. I spent most of the day joking that I had flown across the globe and spent two days at sea – only to end up in France, haha! New Caledonia is known as “Oversea France” since it’s a French-administrated…
Travel Diary: At Sea
After less than 24 hours in Sydney, it was time for us to head out at sea! We were going on a cruise with Royal Caribbean on the ship Radiance of the Seas to the islands Vanuatu and New Caledonia. It’s quite far between Sydney and Noumea, which were our first stop in New Caledonia,…
Travel Diary: Sydney
Let’s start my travel diaries from the trip around the South Pacific with our day in Sydney! I have had problems knowing how to even begin writing about this trip due to the situation in Australia right now. I did have a great trip, but at the same time, it feels so wrong to share…
The Australian Wildfires (and What You Can do to Help)
I got back from Australia two weeks ago. A couple of years ago, I lived in Australia and it’s a country that forever has a piece of my heart. I started to get information from my Australian friends in September that the “bushfire season” had started early. Yes, bushfires are so common in Australia during…
