last post from Australia (until February)!

I am heading off for Europe on Monday, eep!!!

I’m going to try and update when I can, I would love to do a small post about each place. I also have some amazing bloggers lined up to do guest posts, which I’m very excited about. I have had a sneak peek at one already and it is so absolutely lovely.

I won’t be commenting on blogs while I’m away (Joel would kill me I think!), but I would love for you to pop over so I can share my trip with you . And please let me know how you’re going and keep in touch, whether on here or by email.

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!!!

xoxo

psst, the places I’m going, in not exactly the right order (I have the worst memory)are: Munich, Rotenberg, Neuschwanstein Castle (Christmas!), Salzburg, Vienna (New Year!), Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Heidelberg, Cologne, Bruges and Dublin. So if you have been to any of those places and know some great things to see, or great places to eat at, any and all info will be much appreciated. :)

Oh, I'm so jealous. Prague is beautiful. The Spanish synagogue is not to be missed--but you can't take pictures inside. :( We were there during the Easter festival, so there were vendors all over the square by the famous clock tower... so I don't have recommendations for places to eat, because we just got food from street vendors.

Berlin... you have to go to the Egyptian museum. Amazing. The Bode Museum is also nice, but I would recommend a tour guide.

In Paris one of my favorite restaurants is just off the Place St-Michel called Chez le Libanais. Delicious food, if you like Lebanese cuisine. If you like modern and contemporary art, don't miss the Pompidou Center. If you were going in warmer weather I would tell you not to miss the Parc aux Buttes Chaumont, but it might not be worth the effort in the middle of winter.
Of course in Paris basically any crepe stand or sandwich shop on the street will be great, and there is also a huge area for getting different types of food just off the Place St. Michel on the Rue de la Huchette and that general area. There's also a little jazz place called Caveau de la Huchette on that same little street. It completely touristy, but it was still fun to go and enjoy the atmosphere and music.

Have fun!!

How exciting! My itchy feet are very jealous. I've spent a fair bit of time in Dublin, and of all the touristy things I found Kilmainham Gaol the most moving. If you're in the city on a Saturday you should try to find the temple bar food market (Just follow the buskers!), amazing huge brownies and the best pies ever.

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. If you feel like things are going wrong and need some cheering up, let me know and I will give you the list of things I've had stolen/lost and you will immediately feel like the most competent traveller ever!

I like what you wrote in your profile. I love traveling, I used to live in Houston, USA, and I dream to live in NYC, but where I am now is pretty darn amazing, too, despite everything!
Hello from Indonesia!

Guest Post: Brandi of ´Not Your Average Ordinary´

This guest post is quite exciting for me, as Brandi was actually the reason I first started my blog. She was one of my first followers and has been such an inspiration throughout this whole process. On top of that she is the sweetest person ever and such a beautiful woman inside and out. Without further ado, here she is: Ritual I was so flattered when Kaylia asked me to guest post for her. You see, she's one of my favorite sources of inspiration and honesty on the great big blogosphere. I was sipping tea, trying to decide what to write and feeling more unsure of myself than ever. It's been a bit like that lately in my world. When moments like those overwhelm me, I stop what I'm doing and brew a pot of tea. The first cup is reflection, the second poured becomes evaluation, the remaining cups devoted to action. It's one of the best things I do for myself all day, the little ritual. There’s something wonderful about daily rituals – those little times during the...

Guest post from Deidre of Decoybetty

Here is another guest post from a fabulous blogger; this time it's Deidre from Decoybetty. This blog is one of the funniest, most honest, most inspiring blog around (with the occasional dash of delicious recipes to boot). Check out her beautiful blog at www.decoybetty.com and you'll see why she is one of my all-time favourites. Guest post: When Kaylia asked me to write a guest post, I stared at the blank screen and the only things that came to mind is how every post that Kaylia writes, I read along going “Yes! Yes! Yes!”  This girl writes (albeit way more eloquently) what I’m thinking.  But you read her blog, you know how fabulous she is.   She recently wrote about the ‘anonymity’ of travel. I’m addicted to this feeling.  I’m an expat. I was born in America and got my first taste of Australia in the young adult book “Looking for Alibrandi” where a teenager skips school to hang out with a boy which is basically all the things I am not. I’d never skip school and I didn’t r...

Guest Post: Vanisha

Hey guys, here is the last guest post and I couldn't have picked someone better (if I do say so myself). I have only known Vanisha's blog for a short time but I'm already hooked. It's funny, honest and there are always beautiful photos to drool over. PLUS she lives in Canberra and does a much better job of summing up my awesome home-town than I do. Enjoy! Hello! I'm Vanisha from Vanisha's In Life...Australia  Kaylia invited me to write a guest post whilst she's on her fabulous holiday! Being asked to write a guest post almost feels like being invited into someone's home. I'm honored. Kaylia said write about "anything" so I thought I'd write about an amazing trip I recently took.  A lot of people find it odd that of all places, we decided to got to Timor Lestse. Let me preface this decision a little. It all started in front of this fire place in the middle of winter in the Kangaroo Valley. Two acquaintances sat. Trying to get war...
