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…

One of the most AWESOME things about Australia that you probably didn’t know, is that at you can get your picture taken while road tripping. When you buy and register a car, you get the option to take the “road trip photo package”. If you choose so, it means your photo will be taken every…

In between job hunting and doctor’s visits (we’ll get to that later), we ventured into Perth for some much needed refreshment for the mind & the body. Perth did not disappoint in either. This city of contrasts offers a bit of everything: from cool “chilling” squares with free sunscreen & water entertainment, to buzzing bars…
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…
