Thai Airways are my homies
I am not a fussy traveller. As a kid, I spent many long, hot hours crammed in the backseat of a sweltering Holden stationwagon with two other bigger, stronger kids. Needless to say, I was the thumpee, not the thumper when tensions arose. I am also the daughter of an aircraft engineer so I have spent many happy hours loitering in [...]
Kicking my heels up in North-East Victoria
I always like to give things two chances, just to be sure that I’m sure. The first time I visited North-East Victoria, I called The Future Husband and told him that we were going to move there (he was bemused, to say the least). I visited again this long weekend and the relationship has been consumated. I [...]

Best cities to see by bike By Jen McDermott Despite some of Sydney’s most high-profile politicians – Clover Moore and Kristina Keneally – regularly publicising the positives of getting around by bike, the relationship between cyclist and motorist in this city remains strained at best. Which is a shame really, because travelling around Europe proves [...]

Top Four Weird and Wonderful Festivals of the World by Jen McDermott
Top Four Weird and Wonderful Festivals of the World By Jen McDermott I think I’m coming down with festival fever… it’s a nasty case, really. Symptoms include constantly feeling distracted at work (as I constantly refresh gig guides and line ups), poverty (with tickets over $100 a pop) and frustration (hurry up, hurry up…). [...]
Home, sweet home
Getting home from overseas is a bittersweet experience. Sweet because you get to see all your people (and in my case, puppies), sleep in your own bed and have access to a full wardrobe (which is especially nice when you’re on your last pair of clean undies and you’re pushing 48 hours in them). Bitter [...]
