Are you wondering what’s the easiest and most co Are you wondering what’s the easiest and most convenient way to research and book your travel tickets when in Europe?
You need to use Omio!
Omio is a popular travel booking platform that helps travellers plan and book various modes of transport, including trains, buses, flights, and ferries, across many countries in Europe.
I used Omio exclusively when travelling through Italy:
🚆 Multi Modal Travel Booking: I loved having the ability to compare different modes of transport from one destination to the next.
⏰ Real Time Information: Omio offers real-time updates on schedules, delays and even platform changes. There’s nothing worse than realizing your train has changed platforms at the last minute. Omio will let you know if this occurs. 
📱 Convenience: I loved being able to book tickets and manage my travel itineraries from my smartphone. This makes Omio a convenient tool for on-the-go planning and booking.
🎟️ Paperless Travel:  It was so easy to store my tickets digitally within the app, reducing the need for physical tickets and simplifying my travel experience.
Will you be using Omio when you next travel to Europe?

Today is R U OK Day! R U OK Day is an Australian Today is R U OK Day!
R U OK Day is an Australian initiative that focuses on suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
The core message of R U OK Day revolves around the simple yet powerful question, “R U OK?” The goal is to encourage people to engage in conversations with others, especially those who may be struggling with their mental health.
Individuals are encouraged to reach out to friends, family members, colleagues, and anyone they care about to ask if they are okay and to genuinely listen to their responses.
As someone who struggles at times with their emotional and mental health, I understand completely how difficult this can be. But knowing that there is someone out there that cares for you and supports you no matter what can be all that we need.
It’s time to reduce the stigma associated with mental health struggles.

While I wasn’t able to complete every hike due to injury, the ones I did complete were amazing!
If you ever plan to hike Cinque Terre come very prepared.  There are more steps and hills than you can imagine and they are tough!

The beautiful places you discover when just out wa The beautiful places you discover when just out walking.
On this day (back in June), I decided to walk from La Spezia to Porto Venere in Italy. I don't know why I though this was a good idea, as most of my time walking was on the main road where I had to press myself up against the guard rail to avoid being run over!
But the highlights were discovering little villages off the main road, and gorgeous buildings like this one.
The walk from La Spezia to Porto Venere took me around 4 hours. Would I recommend it? Nope 😟 Only because of the lack of pedestrian paths. 
It pays to do your research!

Such a lovely place to visit. I was here in June and the weather was perfect. 
Keep in mind that June is peak season and very busy.  Despite this, you will find so much to see and enjoy. 
The best way to reach Portofino is by boat. If you can’t afford that luxury yacht, try the ferry!

Google Translate is perfect if you’re traveling in a foreign country and don’t know the language.

You can also use the in app camera to translate road signs or restaurant menus.

POV: Why I prefer Airbnb’s to Hotels With so ma POV: Why I prefer Airbnb’s to Hotels
With so many options out there, choosing where to stay when travelling can be difficult.
1. They’re more authentic 🙃
During my solo trip through Italy, I chose to stay mainly in Airbnb’s. Why? If you want a more local, authentic experience then Airbnb’s are a great choice.
2. They’re well located 🏙️
Most Airbnb’s are located in residential areas which means you can easily immerse yourself in the local culture. 
3. They’re more spacious 🏡
Most Airbnbs are apartments that are obviously more spacious than a hotel room. Many even have a yard, balcony or terrace where you can spread out and enjoy the space in private.
4. They offer better amenities 🍳
Airbnb’s offer better amenities. Some offer bicycles, most offer fully equipped kitchens, many have laundry facilities and also parking
5. They’re more affordable 💲
If you factor in the cost of dining in local restaurants compared to those located near touristy areas, then staying in an Airbnb will work out cheaper. Also, if you choose to shop at local markets and cook at home, you’ll definitely have a more affordable stay.
✨ Do you prefer hotels or Airbnb’s?

We covered a total of 8km in two and a half hours.
On our travels we spotted a goanna, dodged mountain bikers (on a vary narrow path) spotted beehives and saw busy bees doing their thing.
We also trekked an advanced path which was very steep and very gravelly but managed okay 👍

Why you should visit La Ménagère, Florence La M Why you should visit La Ménagère, Florence
La Ménagère is a glorious place to visit in Florence for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You’ll find so many beautiful spaces to dine in and enjoy along with a very tasty menu.
I dropped in for a late breakfast on my visit to Florence in May this year and fell in love.
It’s not just a restaurant. It’s also a flower shop, and a boutique. It’s very decadent and has a wonderful atmosphere. I dined alone and it was very enjoyable!
Have you ever visited La Ménagère? What did you order?

Feel the fear and do it anyway Fear is the bigges Feel the fear and do it anyway
Fear is the biggest obstacle for those wanting to travel solo.
Many of us wait for our friends, family or partner to be ready before embarking on that long-awaited trip. And sometimes as a result, that trip never happens.
Instead, you need to feel the fear of travelling solo and do it anyway.
Solo travel is a wonderful thing. The first time you do it you will feel so empowered, that you will be planning your next trip as soon as you return home.

Welcome to Farmaceutica Di Santa Maria Novella, Florence. #travel #florenceitaly
The Gold Coast, Qld offers so many amazing hikes for both beginners and experienced hikers.
Today we enjoyed a lovely hike today in Nerang National Park.
Our route covered a total of 8km and we completed this in two and a half hours.
On our travels we spotted a goanna, dodged mountain bikers (on a very narrow path) spotted beehives and saw busy bees doing their thing.  For the most part, the hike itself would be considered easy, but we also trekked an advanced path which was very steep with a lot of loose stones and gravel. You might need to bring trekking poles if you plan to take any steep paths.
