For Belgians it can be disappointing to visit a foreign brewery. Our visit to the Little Creatures brewery in Fremantle was one of those times. We have to say that the interior of the place is absolutely stunning and their marketing is great, offering free tasting of the entire range. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, only two out…

After one of our most popular posts ever (Things we Found under our tent), we now have a similar one: “Things we Found in the Mailbox!” Living in a tent isn’t always easy. After two months of camping, sleeping on coaches in the public television room during storms, curved tent poles, ripped doors, and cool…

No matter how hard it is to find a job, once you found one, you immediately forget all the trouble you went through. All you have to do is go to work, enjoy and smile. It doesn’t matter what kind of a job you do, you spend a lot of time there, so make the…

Na onze snorkelavonturen op Penguin Island hebben we de smaak helemaal te pakken gekregen. Tijd voor meer snorkeling! Men zegt niet voor niets: “Als een vis in het water!”. Maar om mee te kunnen met de vissen, bleek dat we moesten upgraden met flippers. Gewone flippers bleken onvoldoende snelheid te genereren, waardoor we genoodzaakt waren…

Try to stay positive! So I can’t work as a veterinarian nurse. No prob! We made a complete new “Hospitality”-based CV. As you guys in Belgium know, I have been working in bars, restaurants, etc. since I was 15 years old. I.e., I have lots of experience! “I should get a job within the week”,…

Na anderhalve maand op het hoofdeiland, leek het tijd om onze relatie te testen en de TEMPTATION te gaan opzoeken op een ander eiland, Penguin Island. Dit eiland staat bekend om zijn “wilde leven”, wulpse snorkelplaatsen, hete atmosfeer en vooral de natte doortocht. Het was vooral de natte doortocht van ruim twintig minuten, waar de…

I knew that working in Australia as a Belgian licensed veterinarian wouldn’t be doable due to the long and expensive procedure and the one-year visit we are doing. You have to be enrolled in the Veterinarian Surgeons Board. Checklist: Language test: $550 Application form to check if you can enroll for the exams: $125 (+$410…
Read moreLes 1: tracht niet de bescheiden Belg te zijn. We zijn harde werkers en we doen ons werk goed. Zo hebben we bovendien een fantastisch voordeel bij het solliciteren: onze talenkennis! Ik weet dat we vaak niet durven uitkomen voor het feit dat de meeste onder ons minstens 3 talen beheersen, maar toch moeten we…

Here down under, it is very easy to wake up. If the thousands of cockatoos that decide to have a chat in the tree right next to you don’t wake you up completely, you will be awake when you pack up your tent and find something crawling under it! This is a small resume of…

Cooking when the sun has already set can sometimes surprise you. In the Flinders Ranges we happened to see the AWESOME Golden Orb Weaving Spider. The one we saw had been hanging there for quite a while, since this was a rather large one. We only happened to notice its white, light reflecting body when…
