We’re continuing our Aussie road trip today, as we journey to the far south, and Australia’s only island state: Tasmania.
Famous for its little critters, and revered for its untapped wilderness and gourmet offerings, Tasmania has long attracted travellers to its rich green valleys and energetic coastlines. In my opinion, Tasmania offers the best of the best.
Its brilliant white beaches remain pleasantly devoid of crowds; its easily accessible hiking trails never fail to stir the emotions; its cities and towns are overtly friendly and welcoming, and its mosaic of incredible history, arts, and food make for untold adventures.
So settle into your seat, and buckle up, as we roll this road trip through the magical island state of Tasmania.

But what you are about to be introduced to, is a collection of animals so weird and wonderful, that they attract travellers from around the world to point and stare, and shoot videos to upload to YouTube.

I first ventured to Hanoi last January, and was greeted by some pretty chilly weather. “It’s so cold, even water buffalo are freezing”, the lady at my hostel told me. That’s pretty damn cold, let me tell you.
Cold? In Southeast Asia? It wasn’t meant to be like this! I whimpered to myself.
So it was with reluctant feet and a several layers of clothing that I set off to explore Hanoi. Within 10 minutes, I was so glad that I did.
Before I knew it, I’d been wandering for hours, happily lost in the backstreets and marvelling at the masses of motorbikes, breathing in the scent of scrumptious street food and overwhelmed by the beauty of the French architecture.
Hanoi is a truly wonderful city. In fact, it deserves a big High Five! So here are five of our favourite things to do in the City of the Soaring Dragon.
