Top 10 Reasons to Ski the Alps
Post Courtesy of Club-Med If you ask any avid, or even beginner, skier what their dream bucket list destination is for snow sports, they would most likely mention the Alps without hesitation. And rightfully so: with more than 750 miles spanning across France, Italy, Switzerland, and several other European countries, the Alps play host to some of the most famous and highly visited ski domains in the world. However, although they are highly revered, sometimes the idea of vacationing in the Alps can be daunting – whether solo, with a significant other or with a family. Fortunately, Club Med makes vacationing in the Alps as easy as possible. So for…

Four Stops in Australia’s Northern Territory
Getting to the Northern territory was not a very easy feat. Our little campervan decided to break down somewhere between Townsville and Cloncurry which left us stranded on the side of the road for a few hours. However, I was determined to keep going. We somehow managed to get on a bus the next day to Mount Isa and get our bearings in order. From there, we got on another bus to Alice Springs instead of giving up and heading back home. Once in Alice Springs, we were able to collect a new and improved campervan. But anyway, you didn’t come here to read about that. You want to know…

Meet Sarah
Meet our first featured solo female traveller, Sarah. She is from Bournemouth, UK and pretty kick ass in my opinion! I asked here a few questions about traveling solo and I’m so impressed by her journey and how much she’s done in just 27 years. Where have you traveled to and for how long? I travelled a lot as a child with my family, mainly road tripping it through europe as it’s so close and easily acccessible living in the south of england. As i have grown up, I’ve travelled more extensively, my first major trip at 18 years old (solo) to australia for three months. I then had holidays…

Adelaide’s Wine Region with TrailHopper
The only reason, I’d probably ever come to Adelaide again… THE WINE. We booked two days of wine tours and it was the absolute best experience! It gave us a break from driving as we did our wine tours with TrailHopper. TrailHopper is a hop on hop off wine bus tour. They can either pick you up from Adelaide CBD (which is what we did) or within the specific wine region. And it’s super affordable. One day cost anywhere between $49-$69 AUD per person, depending on the region. We enjoyed two days of wine touring, one day in Barossa and the other in McLaren Vale. Both were amazing and very…

10 Can’t Miss Sydney Experiences…That Isn’t the Beach
I had the pleasure of being able to call this beautiful city home for 2 ½ years. Although Sydney was such a change of pace for me from New York, I can look back now and truly appreciate all the experiences I’ve had whilst living there. There is so much to see and do in this wonderful city. While I’ll say the most ideal time to travel to Sydney would be in the summer and shoulder months (November – March), the city can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Stroll along the wharfs of Circular Quay while you enjoy the views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the…
