White sands, Carribean Seas and pink cars

Travelling between towns in Cuba you can use the buses which are slow, trains which are unreliable or our choice “the collective” a share car, which also gives you the opportunity to meet fellow travellers.

Venice Beach, grunge, vibes, wall art and vegan cafes

  Venice Beach, a little bit grunge with an oddly great vibe A beachfront boardwalk where art meets eccentricity with a dash of weird and wonderful.

Touch down NEW ORLEANS

Touch down. Bucket list tick.  We are here. Enter 2 Aussies into New Orleans, Louisiana. Now before I go any further, we must do the pronounciation test, please say it correctly. Nu-Or-Lins The city where you feed your belly and feed your  soul  The hotel to Bourbon Street transition was fast. Hotel pit stop, literally
