It is true what they say that you don't know true love til you have a child. From the moment i knew I was pregnant I was in love with him. It was love at first sight literally when I first saw his face, when I first held him and when he smiled at me for the first time. 
He is such a mamas boy, his smile brightens up my day, and his hugs can make me feel better on a bad day. 
I'm not big on Valentines day.  This boy gives me love and happiness everyday of the year, and that's all any mother could ask for! . .

So many people I know have moved to Australia for the "nice weather". Australia is beautiful and we have have nice weather but it's also known to have extremes. We have a joke here that in sydney you can experience 4 seasons..all in one day! 
Sydney and Adelaide have had extreme heatwaves with temperatures up to 45-50 in some areas , Townsville and Ayr where I once lived got 3 years of rain in just over a week and now is experiencing massive flooding and half of NSW was experiencing massive droughts end of last year.

Have you ever moved somewhere for the weather? Where would you if you could? . .

If anyone has been up to North Queensland you'd know the beauty of the place and the kindness of the locals. 
It was my home for a year. So it saddened me to see all the footage of this gorgeous place flooded and people loosing their homes. Townsville has had a years worth of rain in just 9 days. 
Thinking of all my friends in Townsville, Ayr and Home Hill. Xx .

What's the weather like where you are at? 🌊☉ Sydney is going through a massive heatwave with some areas reaching 45-50°c. This is the best way to cool off I'm that crazy heat. . .

How much have you changed in 10 years?

In the spirit of the 10 year challenge, I looked back at my Facebook photos of 2008/9. Its made me realise that not only have I changed how I look like, but also my mindset and way of thinking. I also realised how much I have changed over the last 2 years since becoming a mother esp the last year of being a single mother. I don't put myself first anymore. I've also learnt how amazing it is to fall in love so quickly with a tiny human you grew inside you for 9 months, the moment you first lay eyes on them. 
I wonder what the next 10 years will be like and how much would it have changed? I'll be 40 with a pre teen 😣 .

Breastfast with a toddler in a new city is just like at home - just with an audience. Theres lots of throwing and lots of bribing.  here he looks happy and ready to dig in.

But who wouldn't be happy to have breaky with this view of Mostar! . .

SARAJEVO, the city full of soul. Its the city where east meets West.  The city where its "coffee first then everything else", the city where you can hear mosque prayer calls and church bells go off at the same time, the city that was heavily destroyed during a 4 year siege in the war but is booming with tourism. Its the city that captures many hearts and where many people do return to (local legend has it if you drink from the Sebilj Fountain you will return)! Have you been yet? . .

If this cheeky boy had his way he would always be in water. 
Had to keep getting him out as the Neretva river is ice cold, and after a few minutes you can't feel anything! 
Can you believe people actually jump into the river from a 24 metre high bridge for a living? Crazy right!! It's a tradition dating back to the Ottoman times.

What's the most daring thing you have done while travelling or back home? .

Look back on 2015

January 1, 2016 bosnia, croatia, europe, gallery, Montenegro, Slovenia, travel

DSCN6781

Today marks a new year, a new chapter. Last night as I was uploading these photos I got to thinking of how amazing 2015 was and to think I wasn’t even planning on going Europe that year. I started it off in Zurich on a seven hour layover on my way to Sarajevo, before starting a holiday job at a hostel in Mostar as a tour guide & pub crawl leader. I spent 10 wonderful weeks with the most amazing staff who became like family, and fellow blogger Krizia was my roomie, and soon became a sister I never had. Mostar was my home for the summer, the locals were my neighbours, staff became family, stray cats became cats i loved and fed everyday (yup i was the crazy cat lady of the hostel), and the streets of Mostar became my neighbourhood. As the summer was ending it was time to move on and explore places starting with Croatia, where I spent a week with family in Dubrovnik before making my way up north into the country, spending some time with my mum in Split and into Slovenia solo. This small but gorgeous country stole my heart from the very first minute and reminded me most of Bosnia. I visited Italy and Krizia showed me around her hometown and we went to Munich together for the Octoberfest. Had my first ever sip of beer, and yeah not a beer person, I hated the taste and the smell. I continued travelling, learning, and exploring, and after a few days in Prague which I completely fell in love with as well, it was time to go back to Bosnia. This was to be my last two weeks. I spent a few days with my mum and grandma, and soon was saying goodbye to mum as she was leaving for Sydney a week before me. I headed back to Mostar one last time for the year, and noticed how different the city is in the cold weather, with less tourists, less locals out and most cafes closed due to rain/wind/cold. My last two days in Sarajevo was with my grandma, and then it was time to say goodbye to Europe and head back home to Sydney.

Always Make Your Future. Bigger Than Your Past. I have had a awesome 2015. As sad as i am that it’s over, I am excited about the new year ahead, the adventures that lie ahead, and the opportunities that come my way.

    Such gorgeous photos! All of these places look so pretty. I love Italy and have always wanted to visit Croatia as I’ve heard so much about how scenic it is but I’d never thought of Bosnia as somewhere particularly to go until now. Mostar looks like a fairytale.

    Btw, I feel you on the beer – not a fan either – but cool that you got to spend Oktoberfest in Germany!

    Hope you have an equally awesome year of travelling in 2016.
