New Zealand

New Zealand

As I continue to travel and explore the world (and myself), I keep coming back to the idea of how much I love being in the outback - driving for hours with nothing but beautiful landscapes to see. Stopping by small towns to visit boutique cafes and markets brings me happiness in its purest form. I love developing connections with people from around the world and hearing about the local traditions and stories. Hiking and bushwalking provide a sense of accomplishment, relief and unbounded joy - all at once. Walking around lakes is analogous to meditation. Early September last year, as I was navigating through these thoughts, I wondered - "I hear that New Zealand has some beautiful landscapes to see. It is close to home and I haven't yet explored it. Why don't I go !?"

Melbourne

At the time of writing this blog, I am on my way back home from my third trip to Melbourne. For someone with the curiosity of a 5-yr old and an appetite for traveling, I would like to think that I am starting to exhaust the list of things I can do in Melbourne. But, the reality is that I am still only scratching the surface! With every trip, I have an increasing appreciation of how much this city has to offer. P.S: This respect (from a true Sydneysider) shouldn't be mistaken - Sydney is home and arguably better 😁

Tasmania

Tasmania is widely known for having the cleanest air in the world, beautiful scenery and unique wildlife. To cover Tassie’s best natural attractions, diverse wildlife, culture and art scene, I decided to do a road trip with my friends - Justin and Manmeet. When I was looking for ideas online, I came across Andrew's (thanks!) amazing itinerary and it was exactly what I wanted. It made planning for my trip much easier.

Adelaide

Adelaide

Lately, a lot of people have been asking me "What do you do in Adelaide?". I've been to Adelaide twice in the last two years and I've just booked my tickets for another trip soon. I figured maybe it is the right time to start recollecting my memories as I plan my upcoming visit and share my experience with y'all. When compared to the likes of Sydney or Melbourne, Adelaide is much smaller geographically. It is, however, densely filled with things to do. To me, it has the ideal mix of the buzzing city-life, the calm and peace of nature and the quiet neighbourhoods - all within a short drive and with very little traffic! The city is architected in a grid of streets which makes it MUCH easier to navigate.

If you have not just landed here after reading the post about my Sydney to Melbourne Road Trip, I highly recommend starting there.

Sydney to Melbourne

Sydney to Melbourne

When I first drove from Sydney to Melbourne, in 2021, I did so in one day (9hr drive), sprinting through the motorway and only caught an occasional glimpse of the scenery. The fear of missing out on the beatiful landscapes became more real with each kilometer. However, I was on a time crunch and I told myself I'd do it right one day...
