Creating Memories Instead of Chasing Dreams
From luxury flights and beachside stays to unexpected cyclones and kangaroo encounters, our journey from Singapore to Perth and Brisbane packed in remote work, creative points redemptions, and a taste of both the chill and wild sides of Australia—all while inching closer to our final destination: New Zealand.
My last stop before returning to the U.S. was Brisbane. From feeding kangaroos at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary to exploring rooftop bars with stunning skyline views, it was a perfect end to my 14-month trip in Oceania.
I flew into Brisbane with the goal of visiting the Gold Coast, taking advantage of cheaper flights and the ease of public transport. From relaxing on stunning beaches to enjoying panoramic views from the Skypoint Observation Deck, my visit to the Gold Coast was a memorable adventure!
Melbourne instantly became one of my favorite cities! From exploring the city and watching the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Albert Park, to walking through Queen Victoria Market and relaxing at Brighton Beach, this trip was packed with exciting moments alongside my dad. Here’s what we experienced!
From rainy Auckland to sunny Cairns, my trip was all about one goal—exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Despite school holidays complicating bookings, I embarked on my first solo adventure, snorkeling around Norman Reef and visiting Fitzroy Island.
