We have been in Australia for over 2 months but we still needed to see a very important corner of the country (while acknowledging there is SO much of this country still left for us to explore!). Far North Queensland (FNQ) is the gateway to the Tropical Rainforests but also the best way to get…

A Month in Brisbane, Australia
Yep, we actually stayed a month in one place! We keep hearing from our nomad friends that life is so much better if we take time to really learn a new city and live there. It is more relaxing, less stressful, and can be much more economical to have longer stays. But, when we are…
“Living” in another country
I have been dreaming about retiring abroad for a least 20 years. We always have traveled a lot, and I knew I wanted to take the next step when exploring the world. I pictured our retirement being staying in one location in another country for 2 to 3 months and getting involved in a community….
Adelaide, South Australia
We have been surprised by how much Australia feels, well, familiar. This is our 6th continent visited and it is really interesting on how similar it is to North America. We have spent a lot of time in Italy, France and Spain and we have gotten very comfortable living in Europe. We know how to…
Sydney and the Blue Mountains
Our first trip to Australia had to include Sydney. It is famous for its opera house, the harbour bridge, the beaches and the 2000 Olympics. It is about the same size as Melbourne which we visited a couple of weeks ago, and it is often compared to its rival city. We constantly were thinking about…

Tassie- No Worries! Part 1
They call it “Tazzie” here in Tasmania but spell it Tassie. I was planning on just doing one blogpost for Tasmania, but we are half-way through our road trip and I already have way too many awesome photos. This place is beautiful and I need to share what we have seen so far. We are…
Melbourne on slow speed
We are still a bit torn on how to handle the balance of recovery of Meg’s broken kneecap. We want to keep going and see more stuff but it is tough. The reality is telling us that we just can’t do everything that we normally do with healthy knees. And, that it is important to…
