I hope that you all had a happy Easter long weekend and did some fun things with people who make you smile! In my case I hosted family brunch at my place for 17 people (everyone brought stuff which absolutely made it easier) and we had a lovely couple of hours in my garden watching the Squish looking for rabbit nests and Easter treats! It was a super way to finish my holidays!

Even though we got back a week ago, I have been at home all of this week too! I thought that it would be sensible to give myself some recovery time before heading back to work, and I am so glad that I did! I managed to bring back a bit of a head cold – the joys of air travel, and I wasn’t really prepared for just how much energy I used on the trip! I have had an entirely lazy week, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I have caught up with friends (old and new), done some chores around the house, started on the photo book of my trip – I have 2000 photos to choose from, and managed a nanna nap most days… I feel as prepared as I could possibly be to go back to work and the regular routine tomorrow…. But I am also most definitely thinking about where my next adventure should be!

I think I would probably like to go somewhere in Australia next, it has been a while and there are a whole lot of places that I would like to get to! The trip that Claytie and I did from Darwin back to Brisbane is still one of my favourites, so maybe I’ll do a road trip in honour of that (although that will be hugely dependant on the price of fuel and what is happening in the world) … I am also open to suggestion, so if you’ve been somewhere you have loved, let me know and I’ll add it to my list!

I feel super privileged to be able to travel as much as I have. I have loved all of my adventures and am grateful for how I get to see the world. It’s exciting seeing places I have read or heard about, trying new foods and I love meeting all kinds of people, whether they are locals, guides or fellow tourists. There are sooo many places that I want to get to and it never feels like enough time! But in between the adventures is the reality of the real world, and that’s where I am off to tomorrow… counting down the days til I can go exploring again! Hit me with your suggestions… help me to make a list! x
