Hi, I’m Ivy, an Aussie travel enthusiast based in Far North Queensland.
I decided to start this blog after getting back from the trip of a lifetime through the UK, Europe and some of Asia. While I’ll soon be back at my full-time job, my love for travel continues to grow and I hope that my adventures can stay alive here.
I’m particularly passionate about solo travel, and making your dream trip work for you, even on a broke b!tch budget.
Despite my love for international travel, my heart will always be at home, so I hope to share some Aussie travel content here too.
Welcome & thank you for being here xx
