London

A friend of mine went to London with his girlfriend. I’m pretty sure he was looking to impress her, so I wrote up a little blue planet guide for him. Here it is 🙌 Looking for culture? In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the Tate Modern. It's a big tourist hotspot obviously but it's such a great venue and it's lovely to explore the southbank around it. If you walk from St Paul's Cathedral straight over the millenium bridge you'll have a great entrance and the café in the gallery has a beautiful view over the Thames.

Melbourne

This was a comprehensive guide I made for a cute boy in my life. Enjoy! Alrighty mister I’ve put down a bunch of my favourite spots (that I can remember, eeep). It’s ordered by location and coded by activity to help you browse through. I’ve put a particular focus on clothes shops cause I know you’re in the market 🫶 Fitzroy - 🍕Afghan gallery restaurant - such tasty food and great vibes.

Nepal

You’ve landed! The beginning of an incredible journey. I really wish I had taken better notes of my travels in Nepal (hint hint). I didn’t record any of the restaurants or hostels I stayed at… But!

Right, so this is just a sweeping summary of the places I’ve been that I’d recommend. You’re going to have a great time. The thing to know is that the two islands are pretty different. The North Island is where most of the people are, more towns, and it gets way more tropical the further north you go, hotter, beautiful beaches. The South Island is the one for nature. Honestly, the North Island isn’t the best island in terms of nature. The most beautiful stuff is further down south. I’d weight your time accordingly.

Wellington

Here’s a very brief guide I shared for a friend recently. One day I’ll update this with a proper walkthrough of everything this wonderful city has to offer. Walk down Cuba St (lots of cute little shops and quirky people 🤪) Coffee at Raglan Roast (Abel Smith St) - big open space with comfy chairs, my favourite cafe Walk along the waterfront down to Ortiental Bay. I often run along there all the way around the coast, it’s so beautiful
