My year in Australia is truly coming to an end… this is my penultimate monthly budget post! I can’t believe how fast time has gone. It doesn’t seem real – and I definitely wish I had more time Down Under! I spent almost the entire month on the road in Tasmania. I’ve been in Melbourne the… Read More Australia Budget: Month 11 (February 2024)
I honestly can’t believe how fast this year in Australia has gone! Somehow, I’ve been here for 10 whole months. I don’t know what’s more shocking, the fact that I’ve been here so long, or the fact that I’m still living off my savings and haven’t had to work yet! This month has been a… Read More Australia Budget: Month 10 (January 2024)
Time flies! I’ve passed 75% of my year Down Under, and have just a few months left here! This month was split into two: road tripping and housesitting. I’ve made it across the southwest coast to Adelaide, and feel so close to finishing my Lap of Australia now. I break down my expenses into four… Read More Australia Budget: Month 9 (December 2023)
Somehow, I’m over two-thirds done with my adventure in Australia?! I’m not quite sure how this happened, but wow. This month has been spent in Western Australia, the majority on a three-week house sit in Geraldton on the West Coast. It’s been an insanely productive month for blogging, and – besides the expenses of buying… Read More Australia Budget: Month 8 (November 2023)
What a month it’s been! I’m over halfway with my year in Australia now. And October has been a crazy month in WA and on the West Coast… I rolled my car on 17 October, which meant a very fast change of plans. Without a vehicle, I became homeless twice over, and needed to pivot.… Read More Australia Budget: Month 7 (October 2023)
Somehow, I’ve been in Australia for six months now. My year Down Under is halfway done! I honestly can’t believe how fast time has gone. I feel like I just landed a few weeks ago! I finished off the East Coast of Australia in Cooktown, and headed west, through the outback and into Northern Territory.… Read More Australia Budget: Month 6 (September 2023)
Time flies! I’ve been in Australia for five months now and I can’t believe it. I’ve just about finished up my adventure on the East Coast – which is what I’ve been doing for the past 4.5 months since leaving Sydney. Last month (Month 4, July) was a very cheap month as I was doing… Read More Australia Budget: Month 5 (August 2023)
What a month it’s been! This has been my first entire month doing a work exchange in Australia. I did a shorter one last month, but I’ve spent all of July living on Great Keppel Island. It’s an amazing place and I’m in denial that I have to leave in a few days. Part of… Read More Australia Budget: Month 4 (July 2023)
G’day! Somehow, I’ve been in Australia for three whole months now?! The time is flying for my year Down Under. On this adventure, I’ve been keeping track of all my spending and expenses, to give an accurate snapshot of how much this trip is costing me. The majority of my money goes on three main… Read More Australia Budget: Month 3 (June 2023)
I’ve embarked on my Aussie adventure and as I spend a year in the Land Down Under, I wanted to give an accurate and realistic idea of how much money I spend. I keep track of all my expenses, to share a monthly budget breakdown! Although I do have some expenses each month besides these,… Read More Australia Budget: Month 2 (May 2023)
I landed in Sydney on 28 March 2023, ready to start a year-long whirlwind adventure in Australia! I really had no plan and no idea what I was going to do. But I knew I needed to be quite good with my budget in order to stretch my money as much as possible, and make… Read More Australia Budget: Month 1 (April 2023)
