Japan Trip 2025
I finally went back to Japan more than twenty years after my first trip, and fell in love all over again.
Cape Schanck
I love Mornington Peninsula, and Cape Schanck, its southernmost tip, is one of my favourite places for scenic walks.
Holiday in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka felt like an unfinished business after I had cancelled my trip a couple of years ago due to the economic crisis. I finally made it in 2025 and had an amazing time.
Holiday in Morocco
Morocco has always been a must-visit destination for me, and this year I finally got to go on a fast-paced and varied two-week organised trip full of natural and cultural riches.
Perth, the Pinnacles & Rottnest Island
I haven’t been to Western Australia in almost ten years, so I really enjoyed our whirlwind long weekend in and around Perth, visiting old and new places.
Top Ten Tuesday – Places of Worship Around the World I Visited
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is a Non-book Freebie! My list was inspired by the recent classical concert at Melbourne’s St Paul’s Cathedral, and is dedicated to the memorable cathedrals, churches, temples and mosques I visited on my travels. I decided to limit to one place per country, otherwise nearly half of my list would just be Italy.
Though I’m not a believer myself, I’ve always enjoyed religious buildings, for their historical and artistic value as well as their atmosphere of peace and reaching out to something greater beyond. I have fond memories of my grandmother taking me to a Russian Orthodox church when I was little, where I listened to the choir and looked at the beautiful frescoes of angels and saints.
Holiday in Cambodia
I finally broke the three year-long dry spell, and travelled overseas for an incredible couple of weeks in Cambodia.
