Conversation with Ashley (Subject: Why Travel is Good for Mental Health)
When we think of someone who struggles with mental health, we picture someone who perhaps isn’t at work because of their mental health, someone who finds it hard to maintain relationships, who struggles in social situations, who doesn’t leave the house.

Saved by the ‘Angel Shot’
I saw something a few days ago in the Gold Coast that made me incredibly thankful to be alive right now. I was at a mini golf and bowling bar – the perfect spot for a date night and for losing to my fiance and his superior mini golfing skills – when I saw this…

Spotlighting: The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital
During my travels, I have been lucky enough to see many, many wonderful things but one of the things that has stuck with me with most is the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. Established in 1973, the Koala Hospital is responsible for saving the lives of and rehabiliting hundreds of sick and injured koalas, most of…
