Travelling with kids comes with its own set of challenges. Camping around Australia is the perfect opportunity to indulge in freedom, fun and thrilling outback adventures. But throw children into the mix, and the experience can be overwhelming and exhausting too. Camping with kids brings in an entirely new set of requirements to consider. A camping rig with space becomes a priority, smart storage solutions are essential and implementing at-home creature comforts feels more practical for all.

Ahh… 2012 – the sweet memories. And they said the world would end!

In the modern and developed society, we live in, technology has become an inseparable part of our daily life. Those who love to travel, will agree with me that technology is particularly useful when we are on the road. I remember, the last time, I travelled abroad, I took with me the following devices: a lap top, a camera, a phone, my Kindle reader, a hair-dryer, an mp3 player and a tablet (simply because it had good GPS apps and I also played some Fruit Ninja while queuing here and there). Anyway, all of the above mentioned help us make our trip more enjoyable.

I know… Long time, no blog updates, but I have a perfectly good explanation for this. As most of you know Steven and I went to London for our New Year’s adventure and I can tell you straight away we had an amazing time!

Hi everyone,
Travelling is one of the best things you and your spouse can do together. Stephen and I have only been on road trips here in Australia, and it has been amazing. All the memories you share and the weird and wonderful experiences. For this reason we decided to change the scenery for New Year’s and go to London! When you are travelling with cabin luggage you totally need to bring your A game when it comes to packing. More…

As most of you know, Stephen and I have planned this amazing trip to London for the holidays. We will be in the United Kingdom between the 26th of December and the 6th of January. Because we have never been abroad, and have never left the house unattended for so long, I started worrying that something may happen. I may have watched too much “Home Alone” when I was little, but I do believe a lot of things can go wrong during the holidays, so here is my collection of useful tips, for you to keep in mind, before leaving your place unattended.

Free entrance (yey!)
You will be happy to find out that there is plenty more you can see in London during the winter holidays without paying a fortune for admissions. Here is a list of London’s parks and open spaces (which I made!) where you can go for a walk (if the weather allows it).

Planning a New Year’s trip is always difficult because you have to co-ordinate it with other people, choose location, drinks, food, music and all the cleaning afterwards… Nah! Not this time! This New Year, Stephen and I decided that we wanted it to be just the two of us. It is our first New Year as a married couple and we picked a destination, we both wanted to visit for a long time.

Hello everyone and welcome to the place on the web I call "home". My name is Melanie and I am the proud wife of a wonderful husband. I love travelling, fixing healthy meals, knitting, reading and hiking. The only thing is I hate cleaning. I really, really do! However, as the years go by, it started to grow on me and when I married I decided to come clean! At present more than anything else I want to debunk the "Desperate Housewives" myth!
Peek into my marriage and witness my journey to cleanliness, happiness and harmony.
