A Greek Getaway

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on A Greek Getaway

Katrina has flown over from Perth for a month long visit to the UK, Greece, Turkey and Croatia. She accompanied me on my way over to the UK over 3 years ago so it seems fitting that she is here for my last European adventure before I move back to Australia. Our first stop is […]

Best of the US

Janee, Jess and I flew to the states to begin our big American adventure. We arrived in New York at 8.30pm local time. It took us an hour and a half to go through immigration and we were exhausted by the time we hopped onto the subway. Considering it was 3am London time, we managed […]

Shelly, Jess and I flew to Rio de Janeiro where we met up with Rebecca, who decided to fly out from London for a holiday in Brazil and to help me celebrate my big birthday. We stayed at a hostel in Ipanema, a yuppy area in Rio and widely considered THE place to stay in. Ipanema beach […]

The Many Shades of Patagonia

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on The Many Shades of Patagonia

Shelly, Will and I flew into El Calafate, Argentina which is part of Patagonia, the Southernmost region of South America. Since it is so far South, it is best visited during the months of December to February. We decided to spend a week there as it would be a shame to be so close yet […]

Don’t Cry for me Argentina

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on Don’t Cry for me Argentina

After a long and painful border crossing into Argentina, Shelly and I were only too glad when we reached the city of Salta. Salta, as far as cities go is an attractive city, surrounded by forested mountains. We caught the cable car up to Cerro San Bernardo which had impressive views of the city. At […]

Breathtaking Bolivia

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on Breathtaking Bolivia

Will, Shelly and I crossed the border into Bolivia with relative ease. We caught a collectivo to the border crossing and a taxi to the town of Copacabana. We stayed one night in Copacabana and set out early the next morning on a countryside walk to Yamaputa, a lakeside town which is used as a […]

Peru – The Land of the Incas

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on Peru – The Land of the Incas

After months of planning, my eagerly awaited sojourn to South America had finally come around. I flew into Lima after a stopover in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Shelly and I had coordinated our flights to arrive within 40 minutes of each other so that we could share an airport transfer to our hostel. I was walking to the conveyor belt […]

A Journey through East Africa

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on A Journey through East Africa

The week before Christmas, I decided I was fed up with the cold and the snow so it was high time that I do something about it. I booked myself on a month long overland trip through East Africa and less than 6 weeks later, I found myself boarding a flight to Nairobi. (Also known as NightRobbery) […]

Trek to Everest Base Camp

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on Trek to Everest Base Camp

Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu I arrived in Kathmandu on a Friday evening after a long sleepless flight. Kathmandu airport is basic at best and something of a sensory overload for the lone traveller. It takes me over an hour to get my tourist visa but I pass the time by chatting to other people in the line. I […]

A Taste of India

by pinkeepurple Leave a Comment on A Taste of India

Upon arriving in Delhi, I was picked up from the airport by Janice, Leesa and Tracy. How exciting it was to see Janice again after a year apart. I had spent much of the past week avoiding anyone coughing or sniffling as I didn’t want to get sick just before my holiday. Imagine my horror […]
