You can spend one day exploring the Swiss mountains and the next tasting authentic Italian pizzas. Travelling across this great continent has never been easier, with a choice of trains, planes or an epic European road trip with a rental car. 

My first solo trip was to Australia, and that inspired me to write and explore more. Australia was the furthest I have been from home but I couldn’t have felt closer to it. With beautiful beaches and authentic aussie BBQ’s, I cannot wait to return. But it will have to wait, as Oceania has so much more to offer. With its neighbour New Zealand having so much to offer, as well as other islands Fiji and Papua New Guinea, I cannot wait to see what comes next.
