Day 103: Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia
May 9, 2023 — I got up in time for breakfast and coffee — always an accomplishment — and talked to home before getting dressed and gathering my stuff to head up the road to Dream Beach. When I was there the day before, I’d noted the incredibly strong waves that crashed against the beach…

Day 102: Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia
May 8, 2023 — I finally woke up around ten in the morning. It was tough to get up, even though I didn’t have that late of a night. I did get woken up around midnight, though, and I was also just tired. I finally got out of bed around ten thirty and went to…

Day 100: Gili Air, Indonesia
May 6, 2023 — My 100th day of travel — can you believe it? (Although I suppose the days are a little mixed up simply because the day I left home wasn’t counted as Day #1 and perhaps it should have been. But anyway.) I spent the day at Captain Coconuts and didn’t do much…

Day 96: Gili Meno, Indonesia
May 2, 2023 — Yesterday, when I arrived in Gili Meno, I booked a snorkelling tour through my hostel! I’d wanted to do this on Gili T, but never did, and I’m actually glad I waited for Gili Meno to go on one. For 150,000IDR (or about $15CAD), I got to explore four snorkel sites…

Day 94: Gili Trawangan, Indonesia
When I went to write about today, I realized that my numbering for my days was off and I’d never actually written myself a little outline of what happened in my blog drafts! It was a tough day for me and I ended up writing about it in my travel journal that I’ve been keeping…

Day 84: Cairns, Australia
April 20, 2023 — We started the next morning even brighter and earlier than the day before, waking at 5:45am for breakfast at 6:00am, in order for us to be on the bus at 7:00am. We did quite a bit of driving the morning, but that didn’t mean that we didn’t make several awesome stops…

Day 74: Magnetic Island, Australia
April 10, 2023 — I woke up and started my day with some Froot Loops, then had some chocolate with a glass of milk in honour of Easter. It was Easter Sunday at home, with the family gathered at my grandmother’s for dinner, and I tried to phone and video chat but I wasn’t able…

Day 72: Magnetic Island, Australia
April 8, 2023 — I spent a very nice and quiet morning reading by the ocean. The breeze blew in off the water, the waves lapped at the shore, and the music played lightly on the hostel’s stereo system behind me. I enjoyed some Froot Loops cereal and had an additional glass of milk while…

Day 66: Airlie Beach / The Whitsundays
April 2, 2023 — Our first full day on the boat. It was an early morning wake-up call, but I got a serious kick out of how they wake you up on this boat: Disney songs. It really put a smile on my face. The beautiful sky that we woke up to helped, too, and…

Day 49: Byron Bay, Australia
March 16, 2023 — On my last full day in Byron Bay, I finally checked an activity off my list that I’d been wanting to do for days. After spending the morning doing some blog work, I finally headed to the Byron Bay Lighthouse. I stayed at the Wake Up! Byron Bay and they have…
