Four bits

and pieces.

Verandah in Grafton via my Instagram

1. Mike and I are winding down our road trip and getting ready to settle down in Terrigal for the holidays. I’m so excited to put our tent away for 10 days!

2. After resisting this sort of thing for the past few years, I’ve decided to allow a bit of advertising on my site. It’s not a big deal, but I feel like I should be open about it. Personally, I don’t mind at all when bloggers blog for money…but I do find it a bit annoying when they try to sneak it past you! (Especially when you consider that many of those advertisers cast a wide net and several other bloggers were probably emailed as well, making it easy to spot). I’ve definitely noticed advertising that’s gone undisclosed on other sites and it makes me screw my face up a bit.

So, because I don’t want any of you to screw your face up at me, I’m letting you know in advance that you might see a few paid links here and there. If you have any questions about it, please send me an email so we can chat.

Basically, Australia is really expensive. A few extra dollars here and there will go towards filling the gas tank and paying for campsites.

3. In the middle of the night a few nights ago I suddenly decided I hated my blog design and needed a change. Well, I basically made it worse. So please, disregard what you see and be patient with me. I’m nearly ready to just pay someone to make me not hate it anymore.

4. Are we following each other on Twitter and Instagram yet?

Yo ho, yo ho!

A pirate’s life for me!

Well, actually… we’re heading out on a mega yacht! I don’t know, that just sounds cool.

In a few hours Mike and I are taking off for a 3 day and 3 night sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands. We’ve stocked up on water and seasickness pills, and we’re ready to go!

See you in a few days!

Today.

Is the day.

Today Mike and I board a plane to Australia!

We have our working-holiday visas and are ready for a little adventure. 
It’s strange that something that has been in the works for so long is finally here. I almost don’t believe it.

PS. I have a few posts lined up, but don’t be surprised if you don’t hear too much from me in the next few weeks. From what I’ve read, Australia is a bit behind the times when it comes to wifi access.

Back.

For now.

I’m back from spending two weeks in Canada and a few more days in Los Angeles. The most exciting part is that Mike is here with me!

It’s my turn to show off.

We’ll be quite busy the next few days so the scheduled posts will continue. Hope you enjoy.

Hello/Bonjour Canada

Nice to see you again.

I’m on my way to Canada for the second time this summer and I could not be more excited! I’m looking forward to seeing Mike, meeting up with friends from Abu Dhabi, and getting to explore the place that all of them call home.

Mike and I have plans to explore Ontario and Quebec… and perhaps even drop down into Vermont and New Hampshire. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions for things to see and do!

While I’m out exploring Central Canada*, I’ll be sharing about my trip to Western Canada. There will also be a few interviews with some amazing expat bloggers and a Kiva update. I hope you’ll stick around!

*Heh, I Googled that. Wasn’t sure what to call it.

On the road.

again.

Heading to Banff National Park via the lovely city of Bellingham. I scheduled a few posts for while I’m gone, so stick around!
