Wellington's Unique & Quirky QT Hotel

If you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary hotel experience in New Zealand's coolest little capital, look no further than QT Wellington. Celebrating all things art and design, it's unique and more than a little bit quirky - basically everything I love about Wellington.

The harbourside, design-driven boutique hotel is full of exceptional and quirky art pieces which extend all the way to the rooms. It's the perfect place for a sophisticated work stay or special weekend getaway.

Why I love travelling New Zealand with Stray as a solo backpacker

I've had the pleasure of travelling with Stray twice now, New Zealand's award-winning guided hop-on-hop-off bus network for adventurous travellers.
Last year I discovered the South Island with their Ron pass and this year I explored more of the North with the Jonah pass, and both trips were unforgettable experiences.

I can't rave about Stray enough, they are the ultimate way to travel New Zealand, especially as a solo backpacker. Read on for my top reasons why!

New Zealand Bucket List: North Island Edition

The North Island is the gateway for travellers of New Zealand and offers beautiful, diverse landscapes and as many fun adrenalin-pumping activities to rival the South Island.

I had the best time ticking off so many cool sights and activities while travelling with Stray - an award-winning guided hop-on-hop-off bus network for adventurous travellers.

The Ultimate Fiji Getaway: Paradise Cove Resort, Yasawa Islands

When you close your eyes and imagine paradise, what do you see? If it's glittering turquoise waters hugging a white sandy beach, fringed with swaying palm trees, then look no further than Paradise Cove Resort in the Yasawa Islands, Fiji.

Checking In: Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort

I recently spent three nights at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort on the beautiful Coral Coast of the main island, Viti Levu. It definitely wasn't a long enough stay but it was a wonderful introduction for my first time in Fiji, receiving the warmest of Fijian hospitality.

Lake Bled, Slovenia Travel Guide

Out of all the places I visited on my recent six-week trip to Europe, Lake Bled was my ultimate favourite. I'd seen it so many times in pictures but nothing compares to laying your eyes on it in real life. It's a slice of Slovenian paradise and one of the most beautiful places I've been to.

A Wine Lover's Dream Tour from Lisbon, Portugal

During my recent week in Lisbon, one of my top highlights was doing a Setúbal Region Wine Tasting tour with Taking U There.

This private guided tour is a true wine lover's dream and it was a fantastic day out visiting two different wineries and a special liqueur producer in the Setúbal region. I absolutely loved learning about and trying the high-quality (and very well-priced!) wines and seeing more of Portugal's picturesque countryside.
