5 Months Down Under

Ive spent the past 10 months travelling 4 extremely beautiful countries with some of my best friends, it's been both a learning curve and one of the most amazing experiences of my life. 🌎I've drank cocktails on beach bars in dubai, visited palaces, worn saris  and learnt bollywood dancing in India. 🍹 Trekked through jungles, swam with elephants,  snorkelled around the phi phi islands and danced on beaches all night In Thailand  (in between the many deeply traumatising hangovers).🌴🐠 🏊🐘 New Zealand is a blur of sunny days spent by beautiful lakes, road trips, soy lattes, guinness and hungover linen shifts. Ive been lucky enough to meet my sav blanc soul mate, the yam to my ocra and have gained a new appreciation for all things brunch (emphasis on the avo). 🍷 Thank you to everyone who made the experience what it was and opened their homes to me along the way. Ive been home 2 weeks and im thoroughly enjoying spending time with family and friends (and being back in a comfortable bed) but I'll always want to be away exploring new places! Time to get saving @itisdiscreat 😉

I miss van life and spontaneous beach stops. Don't think I'll ever forget driving down this stunning road and truly can't wait to go back one day (maybe when it's warmer) just abit further up there was a big group of seals and if you go at the right time you can see whales! 😢😍 #newzealand #southisland #eastcoast #kaikoura #travel #beach #ocean #backpacker

Have no idea what this beach was called due to still being incoherant when we arrived there but it sure was lovely to get some sea air and have a nap 😴 #dunedin #ocean #southisland #newzealand #hangovercure #seeyahevs

Big vegan breakfast at Dog With Two Tails in Dunedin! Never been to a place where this is even an option so glad to see more and more places putting nice vegan things on menus! Sourdough bread, spinach, chilli beans, grilled tomatoes, hashbrown, grilled tempeh and cashew sour cream! And of course not forgetting about the Bloody Marys 😍😍😍😍😍 #veganbreakfast #vegan #dunedin #newzealand #thankgodforvodka

View from the top! Took us way longer than it should have (definitely my fault cough cough naughty smoker) and we nearly froze several times but I'm so glad we did it! Only wish I would have done it in summer as well to see the difference in the views #queenstownhill #queenstown #newzealand #travel #mountains #remarkables
