One of our favourite adventures, the trip that started the big one – Malaysian Borneo…

We’re in Borneo on a budget. It’s not too difficult but I am missing basics like room service and a hotel pool. However, I’ve found an awesome solution – use someone elses hotel pool, for a fraction of the cost of staying at the hotel.

It’s low season for a reason…which for beach holidays is generally bad weather. No one wants their tropical holiday to be a week of rain and storms. But low season presents a great opportunity to travel cheaper and get great discounts on fancy hotels – if you’re prepared to take a risk.

We’re just back from a super fun science-themed mini-break in Canberra, Australia’s capital city – known for its Parliament House, man-made lakes, summer nats racing and National Gallery…and, as I discovered, it is filled with fun activities for little kids and big kids (yep, us adults) as well as a hefty layer of orange autumn leaves at this time of year.

It seems like everyone is off to Disneyland. How exciting! Disneyland had never even registered with me before having Emmie and then we went when she was two and it was the most incredible experience…our fifth trip is coming up this October and we honestly can’t wait.
