    When we travel, there are always some places that stay alive in our memories. Either for the good moments we had, the landscapes or just by the experience in itself.

    Curiosities about Australia

    Australia is a country that are part of many people’s imaginary, and I wasn’t an exception to such admiration for a country so far away from my corner in the world.

    What did I pack for Australia?

    Now that I am back, it’s time to review how well I packed for Australia. Did I overpacked? Or did I packed a bit way too light? After all, it was two months in Australia, always jumping from hostel to hostel, camping, sailing and a few more adventures. Before boarding to such an aventure, of…
