Happy birthday weekend to my incredible husband, partner in crime, best friend and the love of my life. Having only been married a little over a year and gone to 5 continents and 10 countries together, I can confidently say that traveling with you is the most fun I've ever had. I never dreamed God could bless me as much as He did by putting you in my life, and I count my blessings every day. Can't wait to see what the rest of our lives look like together!! ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sydneyoperahouse #operahouse #visitnsw #ilovesydney #travelust #coupleswhotravel #creativetravelcouples #australiagram #australia_shotz #sidewalkerdaily #beautifuldestinations #visitaustralia #thehappynow #sydneylocal #seeaustralia #oneloveourlove #teamkaptainkenny #couplesgoals #travelwithlove #traveltagged #igworldclub #roamtheplanet #welivetoexplore #stayandwander #tlpicks #discoverglobe #wonderful_places #living_destinations

Smile, it's Friday Junior! Happy almost weekend. . . QUOKKA SELFIE TIP: Quokkas are very curious and very hungry little creatures! I would advise that you find a place to lie down on the ground (on your stomach) near some fresh leaves. Chances are someone will be fascinated enough to come say hello, and will stay to chow down on some vegetation! Also, hold your cell phone upside down when you take the selfie (so that the capture button is on top and the camera is on the bottom of the phone). That way, you capture more of the quokka, since they’re so small and low to the ground! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #quokkaselfie #quokkas #quokka #quokkaselfies #rottnestisland #quokkahub #instaquokka #quokkalove #westernaustralia #wa #westernaustraliauncovered #experienceperth #justanotherdayinwa #perthisok #perthlife #australiagram #thetraveltag #focusaustralia #wearetravelgirls #nomadgirls #citizenfemme #igersaustralia #aussie_images #australia_shotz #iamtb #finditliveit #soperth #perthiscool

BRB, searching for fairies. ✨ . The very first time I stumbled upon pictures of the Noosa Fairy Pools in my Australia research, I fell in love. The crystal clear waters. The sunny skies. The magical stillness. Even @kaptain.kenny mentioned Noosa as a must-do for anyone on the Sunshine Coast. Admittedly a little too starry-eyed, I planned part of our trip around making it up here. . Of course, we were traveling in Australia during the winter. So the Sunshine Coast was anything but sunny! It was rainy and a little chilly, but even so, @mikethepsyche and I drove up to Noosa to enjoy the beach and find these pools. . The pro of traveling during off-season is that beautiful spots like this are totally empty without a soul in sight. The con? Alll the editing that must be done to make this look semi-magical! I will confess that in hindsight, this stop didn't really make sense. But nonetheless, we had fun! . Have you ever been so determined to go somewhere that you went, despite it really not being the correct season to go? Help me feel better about myself! 🙈❤️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . #noosa #noosa_qld #noosaheads #noosafairypools #australia_shotz #exploringaustralia #australiagram #aussie_images #igersaustralia #sunshinecoast #visitsunshinecoast #girlstraveltale #wearetravelgirls #sheisnotlost #iamtb #bikinibabe #femmetravel #lifewelltraveled #lifeofadventure #traveltagged #letsgosomewhere #finditliveit #darlingescapes #focusaustralia #ig_discover_australia #takemetoaustralia #cruising_australia #roamingwomen

I may never leave. . Millaa Millaa is one of the most iconic waterfalls of the Tablelands Region in Queensland, Australia. It's a great first stop on the famous waterfall circuit, especially as the waterfall is easily accessible right off the road! . I've been told that the best way to guarantee you get these beautiful falls to yourself is to go very early on a weekday morning. Well, another effective strategy is to go on a weekend afternoon...in the middle of winter while it is raining. We arrived ]just as a van of people were leaving, and had the waterfall all to ourselves for the rest of the time we were there!! Yes, it was a little chilly. But I mean, it's tropical Australia chilly. It's worth it. 😝💁🏻💙 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #queensland #chasingwaterfalls #australia #tropicalnorthqueensland #visitaustralia #thisisaustralia #discoverqueensland #travelaustralia #discoveraustralia #straya #bikinigirl #australiagram #girlslovetravel #ilovequeensland #seeaustralia #traveltagged #millaamillaa #nomadgirls #teamkaptainkenny #millaamillaafalls #dametraveler #tropicalvibes #wearetravelgirls #beautifuldestinations #sheisnotlost #sidewalkerdaily #traveltagged #traveldreamseekers #queensland_captures #tablelands

I love beaches, but there is something about an oceanside cliff that is even more soothing for my heart. Maybe part of it is because Michael and I got married atop bluffs overlooking the Pacific in California. 🌊💙 . Also, this was one of the funniest moments from our travels! We arrived at this beautiful viewpoint that @love.christina.xo gave us tips on finding, and my entire family reacted in different ways to the cliffs. I eagerly sprinted down, my husband got the camera ready and started snapping, my dad followed me and started giving advice on poses and my sisters tried to scurry after me while my brother and mom hung back while protectively clinging to my sisters’ hands in concern over their safety, having no desire to go down themselves! . Who are you in your family? Are you the risk-taker or the safety-keeper? . (PS, I promise all of us were safe on these cliffs. There was an additional ledge underneath, and none of us got too close to the edge. It’s never worth risking your safety for a photo!) . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sydney #visitnsw #australia #newsouthwales #visitaustralia #thisisaustralia #focusaustralia #travelaustralia #discoveraustralia #straya #beautifuldestinations #loveaustralia #australiagram #prettylittleiinspo #ilovesydney #seeaustralia #traveltagged #sydneylocal #nomadgirls #teamkaptainkenny #nomadgirls #dametraveler #oceanviews #wearetravelgirls #beautifuldestinations #sheisnotlost #sidewalkerdaily #traveltagged #traveldreamseekers

Sometimes I bring my tripod, DSLR and multiple lenses along with me in my purse and wear out my shoulder due to all the weight I lug around. Sometimes my Dad snaps a candid shot on his iPhone X and I look at it and think, oh, why do I even take camera equipment around with me? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 . Happy Sunday, all! Hope your week ahead is beautiful and filled with amazing new experiences. I'm curious—do you tote around tons of camera gear with you when you travel, or do you rely primarily on your smartphone to capture moments? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sydney #visitnsw #australia #newsouthwales #visitaustralia #thisisaustralia #focusaustralia #travelaustralia #discoveraustralia #straya #travelust #loveaustralia #australiagram #prettylittleiinspo #ilovesydney #seeaustralia #traveltagged #sydneylocal #nomadgirls #teamkaptainkenny #mrsmacquarieschair #operahouse #sydneyoperahouse #wearetravelgirls #beautifuldestinations #sheisnotlost #sidewalkerdaily #traveltagged
