Hello everyone!

Adelaide, South Australia is a very beautiful city I have had the pleasure of visiting a few times. I'm surprised by how many people have told me they have never been there so today, I am sharing just a few great things to see and do in Adelaide.

The suburb of Joslin is really nice with it's tree-lined streets and beautiful houses. It's a quiet area so if you ever find yourself there, you can go for a peaceful walk and maybe get a delicious snack or drink from the St Peter's Bakehouse & Coffee Shop.

It is very easy to get in to the city. You could catch a bus or even drive because it's not as busy as Sydney. As you're riding along, you can see great sights like the University of Adelaide, the Adelaide Oval, River Torrens and St Peter's Cathedral.

Illuminate Adelaide is a light show similar to Vivid Sydney. You have to purchase tickets for it and you do a one hour walk and look at spectacular and colourful light displays. I heard that it doesn't happen every year. If it is on while you're in Adelaide, please go, it's so worth it!

The Art Gallery of South Australia has a variety of exhibits and beautiful works of art. You can read about the different artists and their work and learn about the history of Adelaide and Australia. The exhibits change sometimes so there is always something new and exciting to see.

Go shopping in Rundle Mall, an outdoor shopping centre which is very much like Sydney's Pitt Street Mall. There are many shops there including Sportsgirl, Cotton On, Dymocks and KMart and you can buy groceries in Woolworths and Coles. When you are hungry, you can choose from one of the many cafe's, fast food stores and restaurants in the Adelaide Arcade, Myer Centre and along the street. Take photos near The Spheres, which is Rundle Mall's most iconic artwork. It is affectionately called the Mall's Balls and is a popular meeting place. Say hello to Horatio, Oliver, Truffles and Augusta, the Rundle Mall pigs.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back! I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly. But that doesn’t mean our light is gone. Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky. No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do. Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar. I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed. There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
