Scottish Footprints

Originally borne out of a means to record my travels, my words share the experiences of a two year working holiday in Australia. Heeding the advice of a man in the gym before I left who said ‘go and do things you can’t do here’, I made that a travel motto, often finding many interesting and random choices!

Lots of wwoofing, battling chickens with a quad bike collecting eggs on a poultry farm to driving tractors for the first time, making bullets on a farm to shoot kangaroos (they are a pest in Australia), seeing in 2014 with Sydney’s New Year fireworks, driving all the way to Tasmania’s town called Penguin just to see a penguin, working with camels, Skydiving, grafting grapevines on a vineyard, working for a camel ride company, volunteering with Conservation Volunteers Australia cutting down pine trees and planting tree seedlings on kangaroo island there was a particular fated journey round New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Queensland in a car running on veggie oil!

Exploring beautiful places, seeing many colourful sunsets, I had an awesome adventure and found my blogging feet.  My love of writing. And of story telling. I hope you find it interesting to read. Any questions on Australia or my story please tweet me. I’d love to share my stories with you :-).

Sharing my post Australia adventures, including a holiday in Malaysia and some UK exploring, we made the decision to move to New Zealand in 2017. I hope to share the stories of our time here too.

Few things about me… I like to watch sunrise and sunset. It never ever gets boring. A lover of a lie in, I love stargazing and sitting beside the sea. It is my happy place. I love to do yoga, eat sushi, read books and watch movies. A pretty good day for me is when I manage all four :-).
