As you know (because I haven’t shut up about it), these past four days I was in Langkawi. I was lucky enough to go with my best friend and we had an amazing time. Did you know that Langkawi is the most beautiful place on earth? ‘Cause I do now! We spent a day on…

Changes

So… I’m in Malaysia! Yep, it’s happened, and I couldn’t be happier. I know I have been off the radar for about a month, and I pray that you will forgive me, dear readers! You know, I’ve really missed blogging, and it was really difficult because for a while I didn’t quite feel like myself….

My Clutter Cleanout Deadline

Hi friends! So now that we are officially in November, the end of my contract is nigh. I never really thought this day would come (and it hasn’t yet…) but it’s certainly on its way. Which has got me thinking, what the heck am I going to do with all of my stuff? We are…

So I Went to Kyoto…

Hi friends! I know I have been AWOL again and honestly, I am still finding it difficult to balance fulltime work with pretty much anything else. It has sort of taken over my life, well not really, but it certainly sucks up a lot of my energy and doesn’t leave too much room for anything…

I Think I’ve Died and Gone to Thailand

Hi friends, I am writing this to you from my plush, enormous bed in a Krabi resort. I promised myself I wouldn’t be smug in this post, except I’ve already broken that promise (and I didn’t actually make that promise anyway… uh oh). But in my defence, I am completely in awe of this place called…

Howeeeeever, there are a few things which can make life slightly difficult for certain expats, and I will try to gently discuss these today in…

Patagonia in Words & Pictures

Hey folks! Recently my computer has been playing up and sending me all sorts of friendly alerts telling that it’s running out of space and that I really should clear some room on this thing or it will slow down even more than an episode of Mad Men (badum tish!). After weeks of this happening…

The Wonders of Skiing in Korea

Hi friends! Depending on where you’re located right now, you could be enjoying a balmy, breezy summer (hello, Melbourne) or perhaps feeling the winter chill. Me, I’m riding the rollercoaster that seems to be a Korean winter. About a month ago, it started getting icy here, but since then it has sometimes actually been quite…
