Travel Abroad With Lauren

It’s come to a difficult time in which most of us are either self isolating or awaiting for our country to officially go into lock down. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Two weeks is a long time to keep yourself occupied without reaching the boredom stage. That is why I’ve created a short list of things you can do from home to help you through what is going to be a long two weeks for everyone, regardless of when it starts. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Go for a swim 🏊‍♀️ ⁣⁣
2. Read a book 📚 ⁣⁣
3. Listen to a new music artist 🎵 ⁣⁣
4. Listen to a podcast 🎧 ⁣⁣
5. Watch a new YouTuber you like 📱 ⁣⁣
6. Spring clean your home 🏠 ⁣⁣
7. Bake something delicious 🧁⁣⁣
8. Get creative 🎨 ⁣⁣
9. Watch a new tv series on Netflix 📺 ⁣⁣
10. Play a board game or cards 🎲⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I hope this gives you some ideas of what you can do to keep you busy at home. I’d love to know what you’ve been up to as well! 💗 ⁣

Tropical destinations are my absolute fave 🤗🌴⁣
⁣
⁣
I love the different colours of the water you see all over the world! This pic was taken when I was sailing in Greece! We anchored nearby and jumped off the boat into the gorgeous water. I was truly living my best life, just like the owners of the boat in this pic! 🌏🌴✈️☀️🌊 ⁣

What’s your favourite type of holiday? 💗 ⁣

⁣
What a week it’s been! 😅⁣
⁣
⁣
Firstly, I’d like to apologise for how inactive I’ve been this week. On Monday I started my 4 week intense travel consultant training and it hasn’t given me time to sit back and connect with you all. I spend the whole day at work and when I return home, I’ve been completing some mandatory modules so I’m pretty tired! 😴⁣
⁣
⁣
The training has been going super well! I have learnt so much in one week and I can’t wait to become a fully qualified travel consultant in 3 weeks! To celebrate the end of week 1, my friends I are went and had a drink at the bar in our building which is on level 15 and we had an incredible view! Be sure to check out my story to have a look! 🥂⁣
⁣
⁣
Last week I had some issues with the blog post and I’ve finally had the time to get it all sorted! I compared hostels and Airbnb’s to one another so be sure to check it out! The link is in my bio! 🤗⁣
⁣
⁣
Hope you’re all safe and have a great day! 😅💗⁣

What are your thoughts on the coronavirus? Are you still travelling or have you had to cancel your trips? Let me know below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

10/03/2020

Wasn’t too surprised when I saw Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s all lined up next to one another.... however I was surprised at the number of Tesla taxis driving everywhere. Instead of checking out a bar, my friends and I chose to have maccas! Visiting Monaco definitely reminded me of how poor I am 🤑🚕⁣

What’s your favourite thing about Greece? I would love to know! 🌏✈️

08/03/2020

Sorry I’ve been a little inactive lately! I’ve been attending multiple job interviews and I’m so happy to say I’m now working for Universal Traveller! First day is tomorrow so I’m super excited 🤩🌏✈️

LETS TALK FOOD! ⁣⁣🍕🌮🍝🥨
⁣
⁣⁣
What’s your favourite cuisine? Mine is Italian! I can’t get enough of pasta and pizza! 🍕🍝 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Without a doubt, if pizza is on the menu, you won’t find me digging into another dish what so ever. Personally, I prefer woodfired pizza and here in Australia, if it’s woodfired it’s usually HEAPS more expensive. 💵 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So when I was in Italy, of course I was taking advantage of all the restaurants and cafes selling woodfired pizza. I was in my happy place! 🤤⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you asked me, if there was only one type of food I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be Italian 100%! 🙌🏻🇮🇹 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Comment below your favourite cuisine and the type of food you would eat for the rest of your life! ⬇️⁣⁣

Amsterdam is 100% one of those places I know I will go back to. A couple days isn’t enough to explore the gorgeous city. It’s one of those places where you stroll around and find yourself wanting to go in every direction and see what you come across 💐⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A good way to see the city is on bike. When I was there, my friends I did a bike tour and it was amazing. It was my first time riding a bike since I was really young so it brought back a lot of memories! 🚲 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
‼️HOT TIP‼️⁣
If your interested in visiting the Anne Frank House, be sure to purchase your tickets months in advance! The attraction is sold out months beforehand, so it’s ideal you plan your time in Amsterdam months before you arrive! 🎫 ⁣⁣

I would love to know your experiences if you’ve travelled to any of the destinations I’ve listed as well as any recommendations about ANYTHING! 🤗 ⁣

Does the question “what do you want to be when you grow up” sound familiar to you? Well I am certain you will all say yes to that!🤪⁣
⁣
⁣
Believe it or not, I wanted to be a primary school teacher for years! Not sure what made me decide that, apart from the amount of holidays you get in the year! 😉 ⁣
⁣
⁣
All throughout high school my response to the question was “I have no idea” and it’s true, and that’s perfectly okay. It’s normal to not have any idea or keep switching between a number of jobs. Some people enrol in a uni course thinking they are gonna end up staying in the industry, but so many people often change to a different course or even a different industry completely!🤗⁣
⁣
⁣
After I left high school I thought about my passion for travel and considered a job in the industry sometime in the future. A couple years out of school, I decided to study a diploma of travel and tourism management at tafe and I absolutely loved it!😍⁣
⁣
⁣
After studying the course and working full time as a manager at kfc, I decided it was time I treated myself. And oh boy did I treat myself. I booked a two month holiday in Europe during the summer as a reward for working hard and finishing my diploma. 👩🏼‍🎓⁣
⁣
⁣
During those two months in Europe, I was able to visit so many countries like Croatia. In this moment when I was kayaking around the walls of Dubrovnik, I was certain the travel industry was where I wanted to be. ✈️⁣
⁣
⁣
It’s important to remember that changing your mind is okay. Don’t worry about how late it is to know what you want to do or any of that. As long as your happy with your decision, I say go for it! 😄⁣
⁣
⁣
I’d love to know what you first wanted to do compared to now! Comment below ⬇️⬇️⁣

How nice is this view from Castle Hill in Nice?😍

I can tell you what wasn’t so nice.... trying to get out of the water on a pebble beach! You don’t know how difficult this is until you try. Us aussies aren’t used to pebbled beaches so you will have to forgive us 😉

My friends and I found this cute secluded beach in Greece! We spent the afternoon relaxing, having a swim, floating around on our pool toys. One of the best ways to spend the afternoon 😌

I went to Noosa yesterday with a friend of mine and we had the best time! 😍 For the past couple of weeks it’s been raining non stop so it was super nice to get some sun and head to the beach. ☀️ The water temperature was perfect! 👌🏻 Make sure to check it out if you’re ever in the area! 🌊

Have you been to Sydney before?✈️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t wait to go back during the summer! I have friends who live there so it will be super nice to catch up with them. I met them in Europe last year so it’s been a while since we have seen each other.

The Bondi to Coogee walk is 100% up the top of my list of things I want to do when I’m down there next! What do you have planned or what did you get up to? ☀️💗

Are you feeling adventurous? If so, when you’re in Brisbane make your way to Noosa! It is about a 2 hour drive from the city and you will not regret it!

Head to the beach, grab some lunch at one of the cafes, go for a walk into the national park but most importantly, I challenge you to find the Fairy Pools! Here’s a couple of tips; check the tide and start walking through the national park. You will thank me later 😉
