Coober Pedy
In case you haven’t heard of Coober Pedy, it’s almost like Australian folklore. I’d heard stories, but it was hard to believe there was really a city where it got so hot that people chose to live underground. Where mining for opals wasn’t a job, but a way of life. A place where the locals were so used to flies that they don’t blink when they mosey across their eyeballs. The truth is, I literally saw a man not flinch or move a muscle while flies danced on his nose. The truth is that all of these things are the truth. We rolled into Coober Pedy on a fairly hot…
The Beauty of Uluru
Bucket list check #661 – Ayers Rock Yulara, Australia My beloved Uluru, aka Ayers Rock. Uluru is one of those huge bucket list checks you look forward to for a lifetime. It’s like seeing the Eiffel Tower or Niagara Falls. It’s a big check and it’s a damn big rock. Before I went, I had to understand one thing: what makes this a rock and not a mountain? Well, a rock is one solid piece while mountains are made of rocks. Uluru is the largest rock monolith in the world! So, what else makes this rock so cool aside from being, well, really fucking big? Uluru is a UNESCO…
5 Things to do on Kangaroo Island
Bucket list item #2078 – Kangaroo Island, Australia When my group of friends decided to embark on a journey across the Australian outback, we decided we would end our drive in Adelaide and finish our adventure with two days on Kangaroo Island. I wish we would have given ourselves more time because every moment on the island was a dream. We basically completed 5 amazing activities, but we would have jammed more in if we had time. It takes a long time to drive across the island, so drive time alone can really eat into your day. It’s not that the island is so big, it’s just smaller roads and…
Color Factory
Bucket list item #3007 – Color Factory New York, USA First and foremost, I have to thank my friend Jenna for telling me about this because it was fucking awesome! I have to say that any interactive exhibit that also feeds you the entire time (and dessert nonetheless) is an automatic favorite. It’s like Willy Wonka for adults. And even though this is definitely kid friendly 100%, I really feel like the activities were made for adults. They teach you something about yourself while also giving you that “stop and smell the roses” vibe. I’m going to warn you now that if you intend to go to this, you will…
The Grounds of Alexandria
Bucket list item #2035 – The Grounds of Alexandria Sydney, Australia Who wins for best brunch in Sydney? Ding ding ding! It’s Grounds of Alexandria! This may come as a shock after my blog about Cuppa Flower, which was absolutely delicious, but Grounds of Alexandria takes the cake. However, this is much more than a brunch spot. The Grounds are huge and there are endless wonders. You can shop for foods and flowers, stop by the donut shop, have a coffee, stroll through gardens and Arabian arches, eat in multiple places and even pet livestock. Plus, they make everything in house. Hell, there’s a bakery on the premise, of…
