The Silence of the Sahara ~~

By Sunday, February 21, 2016 0

The Sahara is Arabic for the “The Great Desert” and it certainly lives up to its name. Spread across a huge 3.6 million square miles, feeling completely insignificant was a common feeling throughout our stay amongst the sand dunes. It is the world’s largest hot desert and one of the harshest environments on the planet, ...

Moroccan Madness ~~

By Monday, January 18, 2016 1

Going to a new country with no idea what to expect is the most thrilling feeling, especially one so diverse and rich in culture. Leaving all expectations behind opens you up for truly the most rewarding experiences. My best friend recently won a trip to Morocco; yes, you read that right. If not, I’ll say ...

Working in the Whitsundays ~~

By Sunday, November 8, 2015 0

This year the Cleo x Billabong range was inspired by the Pandanus trees in Byron, the tropical flowers of Bondi and the spectacular sands of Whitehaven so we thought where better to celebrate two iconic brands than in our very own backyard. The A team (consisting of the same crew I took to Bali last ...

Big City Lights ~~

By Thursday, June 25, 2015 1

I am not much of a city girl – but I told myself I would explore as much of Australia as I could whilst living in this beautiful country. My best friend bought me tickets to Melbourne for a long weekend of city fun. Alas I was in the middle of my 12 week health ...

Oh, Oahu ~~

By Sunday, May 31, 2015 0

I have put off writing this post for a few months now; just really unsure how I would be able to give my trip justice in a few paragraphs and a few pics. But here goes… The day my boss mentioned I would need to go to Hawaii to chaperone some media my heart started to ...

An Egg-Cellent Easter~~

By Wednesday, April 22, 2015 0

I spent the Easter long weekend with my family who had flown from different parts of Australia and NZ for a holiday on the iconic Gold Coast and the Blues and roots festival held in Byron Bay. It’s not very often our whole family all get together, with my sister and her other half living ...

My Golden Bay Backyard~~

By Monday, March 23, 2015 2

Querencia (n.) a place from which one’s strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self. Sometimes when life becomes a little overwhelming you need to step away from routine and plant your feet back on home soil, to realign and refocus. NZ does this for me every ...

Happiness In Hikkaduwa~~

By Wednesday, February 25, 2015 0

We arrived to our hotel in Hikkaduwa to be greeted with a little left hand reef break right out front. I knew this was going to be another first….After sussing it out that afternoon we paddled out at sunrise the next morning – just Sarah and I, on a perfect reef break, in crystal clear ...

Salty Sri Lanka ~~

By Friday, January 30, 2015 4

The thought of a surf trip to some far-flung remote location is probably at the top of every keen surfer’s mind.  At the top of ours was an island in the middle of nowhere where the food is good, the waves uncrowded and the experiences unique; the idea of Sri Lanka was a seed firmly ...

Winter Sun ~~

By Saturday, August 16, 2014 0

I spent the first official week of winter on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia. I’m kind of fibbing when I say the first week of winter, because it was around 25 degrees each day with a balmy water temperature of 23 degrees, therefore aptly named the Sunshine Coast. It was a surprise holiday to ...
