Matt Passing Moorea on the way into Papeete

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 and uploading videos to my YouTube channel from that trip soon, and speaking of YouTube I also just hit 200 subscribers, so I’m stoked about that!

If you think you might like to subscribe as well, head here and click the subscribe button (you rock).

After we got back from our cruise, we also decided to try going vegan and where practical, gluten-free, for two months. It’s now been one, so I’ll tell you more about that soon as well. In the meantime though, I thought I would share with you three things that have been invaluable to me over the last quarter.

Nouvelle option de portefeuille d'investissement socialement responsable de Raiz (anciennement Acorns Australia)

(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 … Lire plus

Comment mettre à jour en masse l'horodatage des photos dans Adobe Lightroom

par

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 … Lire plus

Ma première expérience en tant que membre Hertz Gold Plus

par

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 had one available, so I went with them. This is actually the first time I’ve booked a van with them since becoming a Gold Plus member, and to be honest, I was really disappointed, so I thought I would share my experience in the form of my responses to their post-rental survey.

Combien cela coûte-t-il de retirer de l'argent au guichet automatique à bord des navires Royal Caribbean ?

par
Radiance of the Seas ATM

Disons simplement que ce n'est pas bon marché et que vous ne pouvez retirer que des USD.

If you think ATM fees in Australia are bad, think again. The ATM’s on board Royal Caribbean ships (or at least all the ones I’ve been on) charge a fee of USD$6.50. As far as I am aware, this fee applies to all cards. So you are immediately paying a hefty premium just to get cash out. Then, of course, there are additional fees that vary depending on your card and bank.

Parc national d'Exmouth et Ningaloo - Darwin à Perth Jour 9

Snorkelling at Ningaloo National Park

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 meant waiting until 8:30 am before we could head off.

Unfortunately, we had a small hiccup. As we were packing the van up to leave we noticed one of our rear tires seemed to be down a long way, almost flat.

Affiche du film Nerve – © Lionsgate

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 have time limits and financial rewards for successful completion. The players play the game, competing against each other, completing dares (hopefully) or failing. The ultimate goal to win the game by being the last player standing.

Wildflowers on the side of the road

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 keeping with my goal to live a more meaningful life, I’ve been trying to take the time to assess what has brought value to me so far this year, what I would keep using, and so on. Hopefully, you will find some value in it too!
