My name is Katie and for years I have been a keen travel blog follower and wanderluster. The time finally came where after a slight dip in the ocean with a 2 week trip to New Zealand, I took the plunge for a whole year travelling and working abroad in Australia on a very belated Gap Year!
This year was the most amazing year of my life with no regrets for packing in the job and flat, abandoning it all to travel.
I have come back with a real desire to share my stories and challenges to help others wishing to travel in Australia, whether on holiday, short or long trips, backpacking or for a gap year. I learnt so much either from my own research and travel blog browsing or simply from the pure expierence of travelling. I really hope that some of this will benefit you guys.
I will be sharing my top tips for travel planning, wandering around Australia, embarking on road trips, solo travel, group travel, living abroad and working abroad. I have lots and lots of photos too which will be appearing via my Instagram (@travel_zip) to give you a glimpse of the colour and culture Down Under and inspire your globe trotting!
Welcome fellow travel lovers
Travel Zip is committed to helping you get the most out of your travels. We want to give you all our well earned and hard learned travel tips so that you can have the trip of a lifetime we know you want.
As well as Australia, I have traveled extensively in New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. Once you have the travel bug it never really goes away but you are always learning new things or improving old methods that make travel even better. I want to share these with you.
I truly believes that travel is one of the best experiences you can have in life. It opens you up to new cultures and new cuisines, gives you a network of friends all over the world, makes you appreciate how beautiful the world is and broadens your mind. You will never be short of a story to tell at a dinner party after a spot of travelling! I want to help as many people as possible realise their dream to travel.
I hope you find my Travel Tips helpful and wish you many happy travels. Do get in touch and let me know how it goes.
