It’s hard to believe it’s been three months already, and yet it’s July! The last quarter has been exciting, to say the least. Wifey and I had the opportunity to go on an 18-night transpacific cruise from Sydney to Hawaii with three days in French Polynesia visiting Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora. I’ll be blogging
(previously Acorns Australia) have introduced a new investment portfolio called “The Emerald Portfolio”. I thought I’d share this one with you because it is exciting to see a platform like Raiz recognising the demand for socially responsible investments. Not only that though, but it also enables you, as an investor, to encourage the growth and
When we travel, I often use more than one camera. I almost always use my smartphone, and then sometimes I use a GoPro, and sometimes I use my DSLR camera. My phone always has the correct time, but sometimes the other two are incorrect. Most recently, on our road trip from Darwin to Perth, I
As an Avis Preferred, Budget Fastbreak and Hertz Gold Plus member, I rent about 30 cars a year, usually with Avis as their prices are generally the best. However, I recently had need of a van at short notice, and my nearest Avis depots were both booked out. Hertz had the next best price and

Day 9 on our Darwin to Perth road trip saw us have a little bit of a sleep in before hitting the road. Since we arrived late to the Ningaloo Caravan Park and Resort without the right cash, we had to go to reception in the morning to get our change after they opened. That
Blue Lips Fish and Chips is a fish and chip joint located in the heart of Exmouth on Thew Street. It’s not just your regular, everyday fisho though, they also do souvlaki in addition to the usual chips, fish, burgers, salads and milkshakes. They are open every night except Tuesday’s from 5 pm until 8:30 pm,
Sometimes it is a real pain not knowing how much services will be on board a cruise ship. So hopefully you will find this price list from Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas taken on board a Transpacific cruise from Sydney to Hawaii in April 2017.
I was blown away by the 2016 movie, Nerve. It follows the story of some high school kids, two in particular (played by Emma Roberts and Dave Franco), who start playing a distributed online game called “Nerve.” It has “players” and “watchers.” The “watchers” watch the “players” and come up with dares for them that
Well, it’s April already. That time flew by, and the year has been a crazy one so far. In just the first three months I’ve been on holiday, a very close relative has passed away, I’ve turned a year older, and gotten back into blogging and vlogging much more consistently, and I love it! In
