I had a wonderful time on my trip to Australia earlier this year, but visiting Australia Zoo was definitely one of the highlights that I’ll never forget. I grew up watching the Crocodile Hunter and Steve Irwin’s other shows with my family, so when I learned that the Irwin family had their own zoo, I knew I had to see it.
Days before I was set to return home from Australia, I wandered into a travel agency in Byron and ended up booking an adventure sailing trip that took me up to Airlie Beach. We sailed between the Whitsunday Islands and snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef in a 3-day adventure I’ll never forget.
On my birthday back in February, I decided I wanted to go on an adventure. A 20-day international adventure. More specifically, I wanted to go to Australia. The reason? I love warmth, sun, and surf. I also heard all about it as a kid, as my parents nearly moved us there when I was little.
