It’s been over three months since I’ve published a blog post and even longer since I’ve given you all an update. I could list a million reasons why I haven’t been writing – I’ve been busy, I worked long hours, I did have a table to sit and write at, my laptop broke; but, they … Continue reading Welcome to 2019
It’s been 10 months since Kels popped the big Q and I’ve realized that I’ve only ever told this story verbally. So here’s to writing it down so you can hear how it went; and, so that Kels and I can look back and remember it forever. I want to say it started October 2017 … Continue reading He Popped the Q
I’ll start this out by saying these are MY top five hikes that I’ve completed (so far).

Kels and I were pumped to move on from Newcastle and onto Port Stephens. We had visited this part of the country on our first Aussie Road Trip three years ago and really enjoyed it!

How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?” … Continue reading Welcome to Auckland, NZ
I’ve just spent the best two weeks in Wellington with my lovely little sister Margaret. She’s been living in Wellington for over a year now – so I was lucky to have a “local” to show me around the cute lil’ city! Kelsey and I arrived into Wellington from Picton via the Interislander Ferry – … Continue reading What to do in Wellington
Kelsey and I said See Ya Later to Canada over 8 months ago – we left with a solid set plan in our mind, had our goals laid out, and were ready to take on Australia. Not even 6 weeks into being in Brisbane had we totally thrown away our initial plans to find a … Continue reading Plans Change. And That’s Okay.
We had heard great things about Newcastle; but, we had totally skipped over it on our last Aussie adventure. We were excited to see what it had in store for us! We woke up early on Saturday, October 21 and left our parking spot at Mooney Mooney Rest Stop. I enjoy eating breakfast with a … Continue reading A Weekend in Newcastle, NSW
The morning of December 7, 2017 I woke up with butterflies in my belly. Today was the day Kels and I planned to take on Mueller Hut, I was so so pumped. We had contemplated back on forth if we wanted to do the hike as an overnight and spend the evening in the Hut, … Continue reading A Day Hike to Mueller Hut
