St. Patrick's Day and other Shenanigans

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 23 Mar 2015 | Views [227]

Well, I celebrated St. Patrick's Day properly for the first time. There are only a few Irish pubs in town, we went to one called PJ O'Brien's. I had walked by earlier in the day and the place was packed inside and out. I'm no one for Guinness, so I ... Read more >


Cyclone Parties!

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 16 Mar 2015 | Views [158]

Time is just going by too fast, I can't believe I'm going to be leaving Cairns in just over 2 weeks. If I play my cards right, I might be back in the fall for a few more months, we'll see how things work out. It was another good week though. We had another ... Read more >


Hot Humid Days

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 8 Mar 2015 | Views [163]

The week that sleep forgot. We've decided to blame it on the full moon. I talked to so many people that have been sleeping like shit this week. Once our air con kicks on in our room, I usually cool off to a good sleeping temperature. This week, I would ... Read more >


Bithday Shenanigans

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 2 Mar 2015 | Views [145]

Ah the golden birthday week. Thanks to a schedule shift, I was able to book my skydiving trip on my actual day. Winning! It was a fairly early morning, the bus left at 6:30 in the morning to head to Mission Beach, about 2 hours south east along the coast.... Read more >


Reef Trippin'

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 23 Feb 2015 | Views [168]

The weather finally started to clear up a little bit. Friday was finally the time to head out to the reef. I booked a little tour doing snorkeling on the outer reef. The tour was through Compass Cruises, a nice little (apparently) family owned group.... Read more >


Music Withdrawals No Longer

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 15 Feb 2015 | Views [143]

Quite a nice little week here in Cairns. I'm now picking up some consistent extra paid hours at the hostel, so it's nice to have a little bit of extra walking around money. This also coincided with my move into the larger room at the hostel. It's quite ... Read more >


Monsoon Season

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 8 Feb 2015 | Views [153]

Hi again everyone. The weeks seem to go by faster and faster. I can't believe I'm already over a third of the way through my time in Cairns. If it's going this fast here, I can only imagine how it will be when I travel the rest of Australia. In a blink ... Read more >


Eve of the Superbowl

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 1 Feb 2015 | Views [131]

Honestly, the only reason I knew the Superbowl was happening was from people's Facebook feeds and the lovely little advert during 'Constantine' that informed my that Jimmy Fallon would be doing a live show from the venue. I am a bit bummed that I won't ... Read more >


Settling in Cairns

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 26 Jan 2015 | Views [216]

Happy Australia Day everyone! Not too much to do today on this public holiday except check out the events around town. They had some live music out on the Esplanade all afternoon. I snuck by for a few hours to take in some of the festivities and catch ... Read more >


Cairns Week 1

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 18 Jan 2015 | Views [145]

Hello again everyone. I've officially spent my first week in Cairns and it's been quite the experience. I feel like I'm melting every sinle day since the humidity is so high and the temperature is usually in the low 90s. Heat indexes are ofter around ... Read more >


Gold Coast and Cairns

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 11 Jan 2015 | Views [239]

Hello friends! So, I left Sydney last week for my old home on the Gold Coast for a few days. The plane ride is very short, just over an hour to or from either destination. It felt good to be back at the old digs again. Surprisingly, there are a few big ... Read more >

First Few Days...

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 3 Jan 2015 | Views [199]

Well, I've been here a few days and am almost adjusted to the time change... sort of. I have trouble staying up past 9 pm and gerneally get up around 5 or 6. I remember having the same thing last time, and it wasn't fun waking up that early every day ... Read more >
