Current: last days in Perth

Hey'all ! For the last couple of days we been enjoying Perth full time. Since we rented a car, life has been much more easier ha. Feeling like proper locals driving to different destinations.. Even though the Australian summer is coming to an end, weather has been really great and we were lucky to explore some new absolutely beautiful beaches. To be honest we getting used to all those paradise places, seems like this country has tuns of them. Spent friday chilling in Mettams pool- cool spot if you fancy some snorkelling experience. Really loved the location. Next to this beautiful beach there's a really nice area called Hilary's boat harbour full of restaurants and cute shops. Worth checking out!

Also, one of the things we really wanted to do is to see aqwa park of western Australia. First time we saw sharks andother fascinating creatures of the underwater world. Magical ! 

We spent our evenings either wandering around Freementle market (which is one of my favourite place. Full of vegan food, beautiful boutiques and just pretty cozy atmosphere that you can't resist) or in 'cooler' side of Perth city- northbridge. Area full of trendy cafés and stunning boutiques. City has it all. 

Feeling grateful for our time here in WA, gonna come back after our adventures in South.

Current: Australia (5 things I have learned by living in a tent)

Hey there, it's been a while. No connection for past week, that's because we were experiencing some wild life, a.k.a living in a tent in the middle of pretty much nowhere ha. Did we enjoy it? -Hell yes. Whilst we were camping i got some crazy realizations about simple daily things, so i thought it would be rude not to share it with you guys.

1. You can survive without a WIFI. Ha, this one is kind of a joke (but really not). It's obvious that in today's world we are basically 24/7 attached to our beloved friends (phones), so once you land in the environment where's no connection it becomes a small shock. But... it's all good, it's all ok. It's funny in a way because when we got a chance to check our emails and such i got kind of strange messages from my mum, saying "Are you ok there? I'm worrying ans so on".. Makes you think what people did when there were no phones and wifi everywhere, when letters where the only way connect.. It's just some bare thoughts for you..

2. You can survive in 15 dollar tent. (If you are lucky and there's no rain ha). We were very lucky, because the whole week was without rain so our cheap tent survived. Even though we faced some really strong winds and many times i thought we gonna have to collect the broken pieces of our "home".

3. UNO is the best card game ever. Seriously, who does not love Uno? Can't count how many times me and Ash played this week. I'm always the winner.

4. Books are your best friend. This i already knew before the camping, but what i did not know is that whilst you traveling and not just camping, it can get pretty crowded in your backpack, suitcase and such. So the best solution for saving your space and your back is kindles or in other words digital books. I was reading my ones on ipad, which was so so handy to have. Also, it provides the light you need for reading, it's just brilliant. Last book i read was Richard Branson -"Screw it, let's do it" , really enjoyed it, highly recommend for someone who's looking for some inspiration/motivation to start achieving the things that you want.  

5. If you stayed in a tiny tiny tent with your partner and after a week you still love waking up next to him- it's real love. Last one- a bit cheesy one. True though. Have to admit it gets pretty annoying in all the mess and lack of space, so it's really easy to start argues with your partner. But.. in the end it's all about the journey together. Me and Ashley been together for nearly 4 years and it was our first time camping together. Pretty cool. Ladies, camping can be a good Test ha.

Current: Australia, Perth (Penguin Island)

Perth is a great place, with loads of activities on the side. Last week we celebrated Ashley's 25th birthday and i managed to arrange a surprise day out in 'Adventure land.' We had an amazing time playing around in different water rides and much more. Anyway, but this post is not about that.. 

This time is all about little penguins. Can't forget how adorable and cute they were. Was amazed by people working their, telling each penguin's story how each of them were rescued. It's beautiful to see the compassion and love that comes with such work. Loved it. The whole island is pretty tiny, apparently there's 1000 of wild little penguins living there. We managed to spot just couple of them sleeping in their nests. 

It's been 2 weeks here in Australia and we are absolutely loving it. Currently packing our bags, just bought a small tent, planning a road trip to another cute town called 'Bunbury'. Pretty excited to have some camping experience, since me and Ashley have never gone camping together. One minus is that weather in west coast started being really crazy, meaning loads of lightening storms and rain in the evenings and since we have not a water proof tent that would not be fun ha. Wish us luck.
