Central and South of Bali
Let’s start with getting to the airport. First of all you’ll need a Visa-On-Arrival when you enter the country. The visa can be purchased at the airport in Bali and will cost you US$10 for a stay of up to 7 days, US$25 for a stay of up to 30 days.
Balinese people are extremely kind and friendly. When I arrived to the airport they immediately offered help to carry my luggage and obviously because I was so tired and LAZY I was more than happy to accept it. After walking 5 meters to the cab I realized it already cost me $10… Read the rest of this entry »
Oahu - The Heart of Hawaii
If it comes to Oahu (it means gathering place) it doesn’t matter what you do: go for surfing, sunbaking all day long or looking around on the island I am positive you’ll have the best holiday EVA.
Oahu is the third largest island in Hawaii. I didn’t really know what to expect when I went there but I was absolutely amazed by everything. I spent 2 weeks in Waikiki… gotta tell you it wasn’t enough. This island is all about natural beauty, history and a heap of activities that you might have never tried before… Read the rest of this entry »
Broken Hill - The Capital of The Outback
If you ever come to Australia you gotta see the Outback. Not many people can afford going to Alice Springs to see the red sand and the beautiful Uluru so if you don’t want to spend too much money on flights go to Broken Hill instead.
Broken Hill is just on the edge of the NSW Outback and is Australia’s longest lived mining city. It’s about 1200km far from Sydney… yeah I know… long drive, but it’s worth it. Experienced drivers would be able to make it in 15 hours.

Around Sydney - Kiama, Jervis Bay, Kangaroo Valley
Whenever I have visitors coming to Australia I always plan their trip way in advance because I want them to experience as much as they can within a very short time and show them why I can’t leave Australia. And hello… the impact is always huge… they always go back home smiling and even months after they keep talking about what we’ve seen together.
Let’s see where you should go in the South Coast. Read the rest of this entry »
Great Ocean Road - 12 Apostles
As for the Great Ocean Road I could talk about for hours but this time I’ll show you my photos instead. The coast is beautiful, you’ll find yourself wanting to stop at every one of the lookouts. Seriously you just can’t get enough of it. And you think it can’t get better… and guess what… it does get better.
If you stay in Melbourne you’ll have to plan at least 2 days for the trip and be prepared for a heap of driving. Anyone who gets car sick is better to take some pills. Read the rest of this entry »
Port Stephens - The Dolphin Capitol of Australia
Port Stephens is called the ‘Dolphin Capitol of Australia’ as it is home to around 150 bottlenose dolphins. It’s relatively close to Sydney (2.5 hours drive) and is good for either spending a relaxing weekend there or doing something more active.
If you have only one day to explore the area you should go to the north side of the bay (Hawks Nest / Tea Gardens) or south (Nelson Bay). Whatever you chose I’m sure you’ll have a good time. Read the rest of this entry »
Phillip Island - Penguin Parade and many more
If you ever go to Melbourne, Australia you should spend a whole day at Phillip Island too. It’s only one and a half hours drive from the city and within a day you can discover the whole island, see beautiful animals, get closer to nature.
Plan your trip in advance as some of the “shows” are strictly scheduled and I’m telling you: you don’t want to miss out on any of them! Read the rest of this entry »
