I had the pleasure of spending a weekend at Noosa Heads recently. It was exactly what I needed for some relaxation and beach therapy. This time hubby got to come too! I stayed at Noosa Blue Resort which is located up the hill from Hastings Street. It is a 4 star resort with a modern […]
Following on from Part 1 of Larissa’s Solo adventure of South Island, New Zealand I left Wanaka to climb that pesky mountain that is called Roy’s Peak. I had seen photos from the top of this mountain and it looked pretty spectacular. I was slightly hesitant though because I had read blogs about how steep it […]
I was a little bit nervous for this adventure before I arrived in New Zealand. It was my first time overseas on my own and the first time driving a motor home all by myself. Dale from WildernessNZ picked me up from the airport and put my mind at ease straight away though. He reassured […]
I lived in London 8 years ago. Only for a year but it was THE best year of my life. I fell in love with the place about 20 minutes after arriving in the city centre. I moved there with my boyfriend at the time. He got a transfer with the international company that he […]
Ahhh Paris! The city of love! This was my 3rd visit to Paris. The first time I didn’t like it at all. I was there at Christmas time and it was cold, bleak and soul-less. Everyone had left for warmer waters and my dreams of this amazingly romantic city were dashed. The next time I […]
As part of my European vacation I was dying to tick of a few bucket list items even though I was cramming them into an already jam packed itinerary. But that’s the way I roll. When I am on holidays there is no time to rest. After spending 24 hours in Halstatt (which was no where […]
After spending an amazing time at Lake Bled, Slovenia the next stop on the Riss and Andy Euro Road Trip was Hallstatt, Austria. I had seen numerous pictures of this iconic and famous place but I wanted to see it with my own eyes. The Baroque style houses perched along the edge of a majestic lake […]
You’ve all seen that iconic picture of the beautiful church sitting atop its own little island surrounded by still water and snow capped mountains. This was the only reason that I wanted to visit Lake Bled in Slovenia. Then I started researching the area and I soon came to realise that this gorgeous piece of […]
Two years ago I did Marie Forleo’s B-School and the first activity that we had to complete before starting the course was to find out what our passion was. The whole course was learning how to build a career from your passion, so it was naturally the first thing you had to work out. I […]
Last week I had the pleasure of hosting three Instagrammers from Canada as part of a job that I did with the airline Air Canada. The aim of the job was to showcase Brisbane and surrounding areas to the people of Vancouver as Air Canada recently launched a new flight from Vancouver to Brisbane. So […]
After enjoying a whirlwind 24 hours in Rome which you can read about here it was time to move on to Venice, Italy. I had been to Venice about 8 years ago and absolutely loved it. I remember getting off the train and walking out of the train station to see beautiful old colourful buildings along […]
On my recent European vacation I spent 24 hours in Rome before moving on to Venice. I was unsure how long to stay in Rome as I had already been there once before but it turned out that 24 hours was all I could allow and was all I needed really. So let me give […]
