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!

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.

Raiz(以前のAcorns Australia)の新しい社会的責任投資ポートフォリオオプション

(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 … 続きを読む

Adobe Lightroomで写真のタイムスタンプを一括更新する方法

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 … 続きを読む

Hertz GoldPlusメンバーとしての私の最初の経験

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.

ロイヤルカリビアン船に搭載されているATMから現金を引き出すのにどれくらいの費用がかかりますか?

Radiance of the Seas ATM

簡単に言うと、安くはなく、米ドルしか引き出すことができません。

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.

エクスマスとニンガルー国立公園–ダーウィンからパースの日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.

神経は本物です– Field Agent’の金makingけモバイルアプリのレビュー

神経映画のポスター–©Lionsgate

I was blown away by the 2016 movie, 神経. 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.

ホットドリンク、スクワット、ティム・フェリス、ドングリ– 2017年第1四半期の付加価値のまとめ

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!
