Australia wasn’t just a destination — it was chaos, freedom, sunsets, and becoming a slightly braver version of myself.

I arrived with a backpack (eventually), a Working Holiday Visa, and absolutely no idea what I was doing. What followed was months of coastal road trips, hostel kitchens, random friendships, bad decisions, unforgettable moments, and places that completely stole my heart.

From my chaotic first days in Sydney to sailing through the Whitsundays, driving along the Great Ocean Road, and camping on Fraser Island — this country gave me stories I’ll carry forever.

On this page, you’ll find all my Australia travel stories, budgets, tips, and honest reflections. No filters, no “perfect travel life” — just real backpacker experiences.
