The Ultimate Backpacker Guide to Cairns, Australia

(This post contains affiliate links, for more information read this  privacy policy ) Hello guys! It’s me again, this time with another post that I am actually quite excited about! “Why?”, you ask. If you know me then you know that I am basically obsessed with Australia. I LOVE Australia, I want to live in Australia one day and pretty much my goal in life is to become Australian (not like that is ever going to happen). Anyway, I haven’t seen all of Australia but from the places that I have visited when I was there on a Working Holiday Visa, my favourite place was definitely Cairns! Maybe not to live, but from a backpacker’s perspective Cairns was the perfect place to be. And that is how the idea evolved of writing a backpacker guide to Cairns. You know the funny thing was that I never actually worked in Cairns and still managed to spent around 3 months in total in this beautiful little city. Not all at once. I tried to leave multip...

Tasmanian Mountain Bike Trails: Blue Derby Pods Ride

Guided trails, cheese platters and cooked breakfasts… mountain bike riding has never looked so glamorous! Since finding out about the newly opened Blue Derby Pods Ride in Tasmania, my partner and I vouched to make the trek one hour north of our home (Launceston) and experience the new three day trip that covers muddy trails by day and delicious dinners by night. Checking in to Our Pod For the three days, two nights adventure, we were far from slumming it in the wild. Our accommodation included a luxurious “pod”, sustainably built with minimal environmental impact, nestled deep in the hills of Derby. Each pod comes with a mattress, linens and pillows… lush! There’s no heating inside the pod so be sure to pack your winter woollies and on that note, aside from a few changes of clothes for each day riding, there really isn’t much more you will need. The creators of the Derby Pods Ride have thought of everything: towels, endless food that is proudly sou...
