My mum will tell you that, as a little girl, I loved to read. I was all about books and getting lost in stories. I remember being in Grade 6 at school and being really excited for English lessons, I used to love when they’d ask people to read out loud from a book. I … Read more
I relate to Beyoncé on many levels, but perhaps one of the best ways I relate to her is through her hit song ‘Best Thing I Never Had’. The whole song is about dodging a bullet, which in Bey’s case was a man, but in Matt and my case it was a completely different life, one … Read more
How much time do you spend doing things for other people? Running around for them, going out even when you feel tired, pushing yourself that little bit further because it’s what you feel you should do? I’ve been guilty of doing ALL of those things. Saying yes when I didn’t want to, going out when … Read more

Today, I thought we’d take a look at another island escape that’s close to home and rich in natural beauty, Fraser Island. Lord Howe Island … Read more

I was travelling long before I started Little Grey Box and a lot of those trips were taken when I was a total travel amateur. I was broke, staying in dodgy hotels and hostels, using only my phone to take very grainy, horribly framed photos. Not only that, but I was about 15kg heavier than … Read more
I re-watched the final two episodes of Sex in the City over the weekend and, as always, felt the immediate need to pack my shit and run away to Paris, have my multi-millionaire lover chase me and declare his love for me on a bridge while I’m impeccably dressed in Haute Couture. Unrealistic? Definitely. My … Read more
Matt and I have been travelling together for a looooong time now. A very long time. The great thing about it is a lot of our travel memories are shared, so it’s easy to relive all the good times (and a few of the late-night fights, lost, on the way back to the hotel). It’s … Read more
The idea of starting a travel blog is a fun one. You’ve seen blogs on the inter-webs and plenty of photos on Instagram and thought, ‘hey, I can do this!’ But then something funny happens, you have to get down to the nitty-gritty of setting the damn thing up and suddenly you have to do … Read more
