SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Walking around the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney at golden hour is so dreamy and interesting. You’ll see lots of local trees and plants that are not very commonly found overseas: from gum trees to bottlebrush, to huge ferns and special varieties of tropical palm trees from QLD, to the incredibly prehistoric-looking half-fallen tree below in the photos. The atmosphere is of course as laid back as you would expect it to be from an Australian city park :) I especially loved the contrast between the wild-looking nature and the skyscrapers in the background that seems to pop up all the time while walking along. Add to this the beautiful golden tones of a powerful ozzy sun (powerful even at dusk) and here it is :) My recipe for a traveller’s dream exploration of the city park ! xx
SYDNEY & GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – Yes !! I am back after a whole month of travel in beautiful Aussie…. again ! (I know…. Australiaholic). Can’t wait to have the time to upload many new images from the trip in NSW and QLD, I am now facing the embarrassing amount of 4435 photos to edit and it’s gonna be a challenge to even do anything else but photoshop for the next few weeks :) I hope all of you guys had a wonderful start to 2015, let’s make it a year of peace and fun and love and travel for everybody! xx
Here is a little preview of what’s coming next on the blog :)

GOLD COAST, QUEENSLAND – Of course, the Part I of this post was only a tiny preview of the MANY Queensland loving photos that fill up my hard disk. Despite the places I have had the chance to visit afterwards, I am still obsessing over these pristine beaches and subtropical goodness more than anything :) There’s nothing like Australia, they say… for a reason ! :)

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – The Sunshine State, doesn’t “only” have bright sunny skies and subtropical warmth to offer, I have found it to also be the ultimate destination for the real nature lovers (and treehuggers like yours truly :D ). The deep green of the plants, dark reddish brown of the land and golden tones from the sand can make a photographer go really really happy with this travel destination, and in some cases like mine … quite a little bit less happy about the amount of SD card storage available on hand. Pack wisely, you are gonna need more gigabytes than you think :P

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA – Missing these beautiful trees from Surfers Paradise and their lovely tropical scent now that I am back in the Northern Hemisphere.  I went on a serious chase to take all the possible pics of them and these are my favorite. Also, their petals are soft as a cloud :) Just seeing them makes me happy… I hope you are gonna share this feeling. Call them frangipani, plumeria or araliya…. they are just the best to me :) Which ones do you prefer, the pink or the white version? Enjoy the pics xx
… but the view of Sydney Opera House by night can easily make me feel at home :) I mean, just look at it….. doesn’t it make you feel so happy? :D I’m in love :P

I call it the Bondi effect. It’s that feeling that you have when you are travelling somewhere new and just happen to run into one of those places that make you realize what life really is about, so much that you never want to leave. Ever. The sense of freedom and overwhelming beauty that surrounds you is something a human being couldn’t ever forget. The energy and excitement of the place is just incredible and if you are the type of person who feels deeply connected to nature and is particularly sensitive to the beauty of majestic landscapes, then there is nothing like Australia for you.
After the images from Times Square, NY the next stop on the blog is Hobart, Tasmania! :) If like me you have boarded a 30+ hours flight from Europe to Australia and once landed you still feel like spending a couple more hours on a domestic flight, I recommend you head over to Tassie :) You’ll probably experience a whole new level of wilderness and will feel immersed in a little world in which nature looks pristine and mysterious, the skies are dramatically charming, the local birds are PINK (yeh, they are but no, they are not flamingos… Galahs are way cuter :P ) and you are gonna need to switch from your bikini to your winter jacket about 10 times per day according to the wind’s fun.
