The Philippines is hands down one of our favourite countries to visit. We’ve been there a few times, spending months at a time, and we never get tired of it! But there are SO many places to visit in Philippines that, if we added every single one, this list would literally never end. So, we…
The Blue Mountains is the definition of a magical place. It’s crazy that just out of Sydney is this huge, beautiful area with massive mountains, forests, and waterfalls. And that famous blue hue hovering over everything! If you’re wondering, that’s thanks to the eucalyptus trees. When their oils evaporate, they create the blue haze that…
We went on a 4-day trip to Saudi Arabia in November, and let me tell you – it made our top 3 destinations! We didn’t see that coming, either. Our Saudi Arabia itinerary was the very definition of jam-packed, with 2 days in Jeddah and the other 2 in AlUla. It was incredible but SO…

The wildflowers blooming in spring and the lovely autumn foliage pop against the famous blue haze of the region! Winter has its moments too. But if we…
If you’re heading to Albany, Western Australia, you’re in for something truly special. The Gap and Natural Bridge are incredible, you’ll see all the force of nature in there. The Kalgan River is filled with wildlife and some friendly pelicans, and don’t get me started on Castle Rock – the views are otherwordly. Thankfully, there…
The Blue Mountains is one of those places that seems to have it all – jaw-dropping landscapes, charming wildlife, and just the right amount of adventure. We spent a few months there and never got bored! Because when it comes to tours, they’re all brilliant in their own way. You’ve got everything from guided hikes…
A Blue Mountains day trip is the perfect way to escape from the busy Sydney and recharge in nature. It’s crazy to think this slice of heaven is so close to the most populous city in Australia!

Windy Harbour (WA) is a small settlement surrounded by the stunning D’Entrecasteaux National Park. The town itself is a series of small shacks with a caravan park, but the scenery surrounding is breathtaking. The beaches are unspoiled and serene, while the towering cliffs make for the most epic hikes. But it’s called Windy Harbour for…
