One of the first things I wanted to do in Dubai was to get away from the glitz and glamour of the city and experience a desert safari.

I guess as a European, we take for granted some of the beautiful places on our back door. It’s been two and a half years since I’ve been at home and it’s usually for a wedding. This time we had the beautiful Albuferia as the location.
Skiing has been on my ‘to do list’ for quite some time and strangely, I was able to tick it off my list in Australia. I had quite the special birthday present which was a weekend in Mt Buller. Mt Buller is about a 3hours drive from Melbourne and one of our closest mountain ranges. We went very early in the season so expected it to be quite busy.

Bali is quite the holiday destination for so many people living here in Australia.
The weather is great and from Perth, the flight time is shorter than flying to the east coast…that still baffles me!
