We're getting closer and closer to the take off, 60 days away people! That means the countdown is on for real so in order to prepare, I'm starting a list of the top 5 places I can't wait to visit in the land down under, all under 3 hours from Sydney!

Bondi Beachby Swiss Belhotel

Starting with #1, Bondi Beach

Mostly known as one of the top surfing destinations in the World, it's also right near my apartment making it that much easier to spend my post-morning runs soaking up the sun listening to the tranquil sounds of crashing waves (and maybe even learning to hang 10 ). It's also a pretty big tourist destination but according to the travel experts, it's still a must.

#2 Port Stephens

A quick 2 hour drive down the Central Coast leads me into the beautiful Port Stephens. Certainly looking to take a ride on Oakfield Ranch Camels or maybe watch the sunset over Gan Gan Lookout. Either Way, I know this place will keep me busy for a while. Exploring and adventuring through lands like this is something I definitely can't wait to do.


Jenolan Caves Gallery

#3 Jenolan Caves

Better known as one of the best caves spots in Australia, it's underground caves and tunnels are masterfully formed into beautiful works of limestone (or so I've been told). These caves are definitely something I could never find in my little state of Massachusetts.

Birsen Oz

#4 Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains

People say the thing about Mount Wilson and even some other spots of the Blue Mountains is that they hold magical views you can only understand through visiting. The village of Mount Wilson accompanies magnificent views and beautiful landscape that makes me super eager to experience for myself.


Christine Lemieux

#5 Australian Reptile Park

Nothing that sounds more intriguing than the Australian Reptile Park described as a hands-on zoo located in a natural bush setting on the Central Coast, home to exotic reptiles from around the world and a wide variety of Australian native animals. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited to see Koalas and Kangaroos but Tasmanian Devils and deadly spiders too? I'm all for it.

Stay tuned for more travel updates coming soon!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
