I haz sads. I think I finally have to admit after 3 years of constant use, my Hush Puppies are dead. My feet are starting to ache a little. It’s surprising how annoying and stressful it is to find new shoes.

Plans to be away this weekend were a bust, but I can’t really complain since I snuck a mad day trip to Coffs while over the border last week.

If anyone loves this random last min trips, I also noticed that flights to Byron have been $120-180 for a single leg. Not bad if you can get a few days off and need a change of scenery.

I noticed the trend for Spring Cleaning, definitely joined the crew… I’m going to attack some grout this week. I hope it comes up.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!

Flights are one thing... But accom is where it often gets expensive for me as a single traveller :(

Yeah, accommodation is a tough one. Stayed somewhere “cheap” and it was expensive for what it was and the level was appalling.

Makes me understand why grey nomads and caravans/camping are so popular, it's the only way to make travelling affordable some times.
