For this birthday post I thought I'd start close to home.
These images are from a trip my family and I took to Melbourne in 2016. We caught the travel bug after our big USA trip (more about that trip later!) and we were inspired to travel around the country we call home.
The reason why I chose this city as my "blog-birthday post" is because my sister and I were celebrating our birthdays on this trip. We wanted to do something special and so we all agreed to head to Melbourne for the Easter long weekend that year to celebrate our birthdays.
Melbourne has been likened to New York City with its grid-like formation, love for the Arts and fashion-forward feels. In saying that, Melbourne is no NYC, but it has its own perks. "Getting lost" in Melbourne takes you down alleyways like this one or into the jungle of modern architecture that allows you to feel like you're in a futuristic world.
It is no secret that Melbourne has birthed many 'hipster' trends. Being in the city itself begs you to think outside the box. I enjoyed the cafes, rooftop bars and shopping experience here. It was a rich experience that I cannot wait to relive this July.
