Day 44: Byron Bay, Australia
March 11, 2023 — It was a little tough — though not nearly as hard as I thought it might be — to wake up for my 8:45am pickup time for surf camp after such a late night — certainly one of the latest and absolutely the most active I have had since arriving in…

Day 42: Port Macquarie to Byron Bay
March 9, 2023 — It’s always a bit of a weird day when you have to get up and pack to be out of a hostel by ten a.m. but your bus doesn’t leave to head to your next destination until midday or later. I woke up in the morning and gathered my stuff together,…

Day 41: Port Macquarie, Australia
March 8, 2023 — Today was a very quiet day. After waking up in the morning to a questionable-looking sky, I had a bit of breakfast and got dressed. Since it wasn’t raining at that moment, I figured it was as good a time as any to head into town and do some shopping. We’d…

Day 37: Newcastle, Australia
March 4, 2023 — Following another slow morning, I made my way over to Nobbys Beach. This is another of the main beaches in Newcastle and I have to say it’s probably my favourite. I especially liked that the sand was fairly flat in places and it made it really nice to lay out on…

Day 36: Newcastle, Australia
March 3, 2023 — I had a very slow morning working on the blog and other administrative stuff to do with my trip. I even did some morning yoga! That was the first time I’d managed to find a good spot for yoga since I left on my trip. It felt so good to be…
