Coron is hands down one of our favourite places in the Philippines! The island-hopping and snorkelling are next level. But when we first arrived, the island-hopping tours were confusing as hell. Tour A? B? C? D? Ultimate? What’s the difference? And which one is actually worth it? We spent WAY too much time figuring it…
After spending 4 days exploring Karijini in August, we can say that winter is the best time to visit, hands down… but if you can go a bit earlier (say, July), even better! During our stay, the days were sunny, dry, and perfect for hiking. Plus the nights were cool enough for a campfire, although…
After visiting the Philippines several times between February and April, we can confidently say that March is the absolute best time to go. The weather is perfectly sunny and hot – ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and diving! Plus the crowds aren’t as crazy as peak season, and there’s very little risk of rain. December-February comes…
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…
We’ve travelled to the Philippines multiple times and been to over 8 islands all over the country. We can confidently say that it’s an amazing country for budget travel! How much does it cost to travel to the Philippines? The average daily cost for budget travellers is $40-$50 USD. Mid-range travellers spend around $80–$150 USD…
The Salt and Charcoal Travel business made $15,325 between October and December 2024 – the last quarter of the year. That’s $5,108 a month made while… TRAVELLING! To say we are grateful is an understatement. And we will never not pinch ourselves that we get to call this “work”. But the reason we are sharing…
The best time to visit Blue Mountains is Spring, hands down! Autumn is a close second. Both seasons have excellent weather for hiking, and the colours are otherwordly. 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…
