This past weekend my friend Jenn and I decided to see a little more of Australia and off to Melbourne we went! Things I love about Melbourne:
- Home to some of the best graffiti ever! (And that’s saying something, I’m from New York)

- ICE BAR! It’s a bar made out of ice! To keep the seats, tables, shot glasses, and cups from melting, the temperature in the Ice Bar is -8 degrees Celsius or 17.6 degrees Farenheit. (Don’t worry, entrance fee includes a giant parka, gloves and UGGS to wear while inside)

I'm obsessed with all things related to travel, sushi, Beyonce, activism and Scandal. Freshman year I was bitten by the travel bug and I've been traveling ever since. Follow me on the next journey of my life to the great outback, Australia, where I hope to find nemo, pick up an Australian accent, and become a world class surfer.</span></p>
