Hey, everyone! This week has been all about monotremes for me. What is a monotreme, you may ask? A monotreme is a type of mammal… that lays eggs! This includes platypus, short-beaked echidnas, and long-beaked echidnas. Luckily, Australia is home to both platypus and short-beaked echidnas, and I was lucky enough to see both this… Read More Monotremes
Hi, everyone! This week, I ended up going for a hike at both Trigg Bushland and Gooseberry Hill National Park. It has been somewhat warm out lately, but I went early enough in the day where the heat wasn’t unbearable. Both the hikes were really enjoyable! Trigg Bushland Reserve Trigg Bushland Reserve is a spot… Read More Trigg Bushland and Gooseberry Hill National Park
Roadtrip to Geraldton I took a few days off work to go on a road trip up north to Kalbarri with my friend Jason. I let him do the planning, so everything he had planned was a surprise to me with the exception of seeing some kind of pink lake and wildflowers. I was definitely… Read More North to Kalbarri
I recently got back from a trip to Alaska in June. I have been to a few locations higher up in the northern hemisphere before, but usually I’ve gone in the darker months with the intention to see the northern lights. I’ve been to Iceland, Sweden, Finland, and Norway, all for that reason. Going up… Read More Alaska in June

All of Colorado up until this point – Crested Butte, Black Canyon, Hanging Lake, were stunning and beautiful, but Rocky Mountain National Park really showcased the variety Colorado has to offer. Andy, Mike, and I arrived the night before, so seeing the mountains in… Read More Rocky Mountain National Park
Glenwood Springs Andy, Mike, and I continued our road trip journey from Gunnison and went to the Glenwood Springs. I missed out on visiting hot springs in Iceland, in Israel, and in Lake Tahoe. Finally, I’ve had my opportunity. Mike is an amazing yoga instructor, check out his Instagram! If you’re in Denver, I’m sure… Read More Glenwood Springs & Hanging Lake
Hartman Rocks Starting our morning with coffee and chai teas, we prepared for what the day had in store for us. First on the agenda was Hartman Rocks, a hangout spot near Gunnison, Colorado. The drive up was a little too steep for me, but it was worth it. The rock formations were beautiful, with… Read More Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Gunning for Gunnison After getting a small sample of Colorado, Gunnison was first on our road trip objective. Andy, Mike, and I planned to arrive by nightfall but with a late start, the three and a half hour drive didn’t seem like enough time for a decent hike. We got farther from Denver, with the mountains… Read More Checking Out Crested Butte, Colorado
Overambition In planning my trip to visit my buddies Andy and Mike in Denver, I planned a bit too overambitious. It had been since six months prior since I’ve gone on a trip (to South Africa), so I wanted to get a lot done. I thought in a week we could drive down to White Sands,… Read More Dinosaurs in Denver, Colorado
Cape Town and its Many Activities What is one of the most painful things in life? Commuting. Everybody hates sitting in traffic, in limbo – not here, and not there. Sitting in an airplane can arguably be considered worse. You’re not able to stop whenever you want to grab some food, you are 100% in… Read More Cape Town: A City of Never-Ending Activities
