Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

Fraser Island - Pictures

Ali and I in front of the first lake we visited on Fraser - the Basin Lake
our first time seeing a lake on top of a sand dune :)

The Basin Lake

Second walk through the island - we followed a small stream through the woods. The stream had drinking water that was really clean and fresh

Getting ready to drink from the stream

Huge tree!

The trees in this forest reminded us a lot of Cathedral Grove in British Columbia

:)

Tons of ocean-life flock to this area of the island due to a deep undersea trench - this here is a very large eagle ray :)

Fraser Island is known for it's spiders, dingos and snakes :)



Another lake, this time a 4-level pyramid! our guide said we were the first group he's seen who has successfully done it!
