About me

I'm 48, a Paramedic, live in Perth, Western Australia and I WAS a single, full-time Dad until my children grew up and left home. I discovered the wonderful world of backpacking in 2005 and I LOVE IT ! Met some wonderful people, saw some amazing sights and now I'm hooked.

My Travel Tip

Travel light but if you want to take a hairdryer (or anything else you just CAN'T do without), advice from Nike... JUST DO IT! The extra weight & space it takes up is negligable compared to the feeling you get when you look & feel your best.

diveshak has no future booking.

Thanks for your note. The 92 guy DOES inspire me! And "hooked" would be just fine, thank you very much :)

Well this is the thing. I have no clue where to go (I haven't gotten past planning Croatia yet!). And that's I guess mainly the reason I'm contacting - it's such a huge place that I don't know what to see, where to start....you say most don't bother with Perth?? (sorry)....

Hi! Will be travelling to Australia for the first time in late Nov - early Dec and would love some tips, since 1) it's such a big place and 2) it's my first time ever doing a backpacking trip! Any advice on what to see, where to go, where not to go would be most appreciated! Glad to hear you love backpacking...I'm terrified!!!!
