Oh, My Life!

This quote pretty much sums up my life at the moment. In five weeks I'll be all finished with my degree and I have no idea what's going to happen after that! There is only one thing I am sure of– I'm going to explore every inch of everywhere I've ever dreamed of going!

Melbourne Snapshots

A few month's ago I went to Melbourne for an internship at World Vision's Australian headquarters. Although most of my time was spent behind a desk, I did get the chance to see a bit of city too. I'm not very good with pictures– I never remember to take them– but I did manage to get a few snaps here and there to share with you all! Enjoy!

Topshop was #1 on my go to list in Melbourne.

Recognise these outfits? I went to the Hollywood Costume Exhibition at the
Australian Centre for Moving Arts and was able to come face to face with the
ACTUAL costumes from The Great Gatsby! AH-MAZING!

Melbourne seems to share my affection for a good cuppa. There are so many
tea stores! This one in Warburton was one of my favorites.

So many tea options!

Warburton is a quaint little town on the outskirts of Melbourne. Seriously
beautiful place!

One of my favorite buys from Warburton. She ('Dolly') now takes pride of
on my bed.

These are just a few of the MANY teapots that adorned this tea store in
Sassafras.

Melbourne Central Mall was built around this old shot tower. It's so
weird seeing a building within another building.

Karl and Susan's house from 'Neighbours'! Yes... I went there. (If you don't
know,  'Neighbours' is a classic Australian soap opera I used to be seriously
addicted to!).

I thought this was so funny. Who knew Peter Jackson was into fashion? ;)

I went to my first Aussie Rules game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I was
so confused!

The most beautiful mall I've ever seen! The Block Arcade.

The Hopetoun tea room. I had cinnamon bread and it was good!

Best street name ever! Melbourne was actually founded by a man named
Batman. Seriously. Google it.

October Desktop Calendar

Original image source: Liberty Church

This is something that I started on my previous blog. If you're anything like me you will be perpetually unaware of the date. I find that having a calendar (and a pretty one at that!) right smack-bang on my desktop to be so handy!

This month's desktop calendar image is of London– one of my favorite cities in the world. Even though I've never been there, I feel like London and I are destined to meet. We suit each other to a tee... or should I say "tea"? ;) 

One of my very good blogger friends, Emma (from emma- daydream believer), is moving there next year and I let her know every moment I can just how jealous I am! I've made her promise to find us a quaint little flat to live in when I move over there too!

You can download this month's calendar here.

A Fresh Start

My thoughts exactly :) (source: Pinterest)

In the spirit of Springtime, it's out with the old and in with the new. I'm starting again!

I need a clean slate. I started this blogging thing about a year and half ago because I wanted a space to share my travel aspirations with like-minded people. But somewhere along the way I decided to divert away from my original concept and in doing so I lost a ton of inspiration. What was once a passion project turned into a bit of a chore! 

And so begins my new beginning! I'm going back to my blogging roots and refocusing on what really gets my creative writing juices flowing! Although you can expect to see the odd recipe, fashion and music posts you can rest assured that I will always come back to my favorite topic... travel!

So here we go again. I'm so excited start over!
