As you may well understand, eating ten desserts in one night – and then dinner after that – is not only an extraordinary feat for two young ladies (and the fellow attached to one of them), but it’s a bit much for just one blog post. As a result, I’ve broken my Melbourne Reverse Dinner [...]

Where did we leave off with my Melbourne Adventuring? Ah, yes. I’d heard that my brother had broken his friend Eagle’s nose, and I’d just got into a car with two strangers who had offered me candy. Think I’m joking? I’m really not. A car drove up to my brother’s house, a girl I’d never [...]

Imagine this. Imagine you’ve had a night of Starbucks, beer, laughter, and Lord of the Fries, and imagine you went to bed at 1am. Imagine that you’ve woken up late the next morning, warm and cozy, having discovered that a sleeping bag capable of keeping a boy warm during a thunderstorm on top of a [...]

One of the wonderful aspects of travelling is that you get to bring back home a myriad of incredible memories. An even more wonderful aspect of travelling is that, if you’re lucky, you might also get to bring back incredible friendships. My travels in recent years have certainly brought now-beloved people into my life, but [...]

Dear World, Thank you for my magnificent weekend holiday in Melbourne. Thank you for ensuring that I shan’t ever regret the decision to squeeze a mini-break into an incredibly busy and stressful month, because there was not a single element of this jam-packed-full-on-whirlwind-laughter-filled-deliciousness-encompassed-self-worth-building weekend that I didn’t enjoy*, so much so that the term “enjoy” [...]

Melbourne seems to enjoy toying with my dignity and, by correlation, my sense of self. First, I was Adventurous Raw Vegan Cheesecake Girl, then I was Almost-Naked-Heatstroke-Fool Girl, and after that I was Costco Conqueror Girl. Have you picked the pattern yet? It goes like this: positive self-identity, negative self-identity, positive self-identity… I think you can guess [...]

Do you currently have a BFF? I do. She’s fantastic. And as a result, I feel qualified in sharing with you something that I’ve been diligently working on in my spare time (translation: working on for the past five minutes). It’s what I like to call “The Wayfaring Chocolate Checklist of Mandatory Qualities to Look For in [...]

Or maybe Melbourne will only bring out the fool in me. To wit: On Friday, because it was raining when I woke up, I wore a short flouncy skirt with black leggings, boots, and a long-sleeved top. By early afternoon, after walking for 45 minutes down Elizabeth Street in the now-not-raining-actually-very-very-hot-sunny-weather, I was melting. Panting. [...]

The last time we spoke here, I was telling you about how my Magnificent Melbourne Holiday started with a foray into raw vegan cheesecake at Yong Green Food. Now I’m going to mess with your sense of time and space by jumping to the fourth day of my Magnificent Melbourne Holiday. This is not because [...]

Before I say anything else, I want to thank you all so much for your wonderful, wonderful comments on my blogiversary post. You made me feel even more bubbly and supported than ever, and I’m very grateful to you for that. Now, back to some adventuring… Some of you might remember that, awhile ago, I [...]
