Our time in Far North Queensland (FNQ) was absolutely magical. We spent two days in Kewarra Beach, 4 days in Fitzroy Island (40 mins ferry from Cairns), 2 days in Cape Tribulation (3hrs drive north of Cairns) and 4 days in Trinity beach. FNQ is an absolute tropical paradise, we were here during the wet season so the beaches were a bit muddy and the killer stinger jelly fish in full effect so we had to wear stinger suit for…
We spent few days in Melbourne, we mostly came here so I can meet a good friend of mine who moved to Melbourne years ago. It’s a beautiful city, the Victoria market is a must visit, St Kilda beach area is very nice too and easy tram ride from downtown area,It’s very cold water so not really a swimming but worth checking out. There are few nice beaches but way out of the city, over 1 hr drive. There is…

We stayed at the Atlantis, cute place nice beaches but way to many kids. Their sister resort The Cove is adults only and much more modern and some amenities are shared, so that’s cool. If you are ever in Nassau and want adult only resort SLS Baha…
Another trip to beautiful British Columbia, we were here for business and pleasure but mostly pleasure.

Tofino is a small Pacific surf town on the westside of Vancouver Island right next to the Pacific Rim National park reserve. It took half a day just to get from Vancouver airport to…
