hi, I’m brooke!

I'm obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems & travelling beyond the ordinary! I left Australia 5 years ago after finishing a PhD in Biomechanics & have been travelling the world full-time ever since (now joined by my life/climbing partner, James). I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

  • DOHA, QATAR πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨ Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East! WHAT TO SEE ⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections ⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!) ⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! ⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants ⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar
  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯ Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves πŸ’ƒπŸ» . . . . . #MtAso #MtAsoNationalPark #nakadake #japan #kyushu #japanroadtrip

  • welcome to Qatar πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO πŸ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos πŸ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building πŸ“Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) πŸ“Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon πŸ“Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! πŸ“Qanat Quartier: a quirky β€œLittle Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here πŸ“Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafΓ©s . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar
  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!! This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…) For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress! I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!? . . . . #doha #qatar #qatarairways #stopover #middleeast
  • Cut by the bright turquoise Gokase River, this magical little gorge in central Kyushu is often called the most beautiful place in Japanβ€” and we might just agree!! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸŒΈβœ¨ πŸ“ Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture TIPS FOR VISITING: - the site is open 8am-5pm - entry is Β₯1,000 per person + parking is available nearby - reserve a row boat (30min) for Β₯4,000 on weekdays or Β₯5,000 on weeekends (boats do sell out!) - the best light is after 10.30am, when sun hits the waterfall - free paths run along both sides of the gorge, so you can enjoy great views even if you don’t hire a boat πŸ‘‡πŸ» If you’ve been to Japan, what’s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip πŸ˜…)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: it’s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! πŸ“ Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park in Kagoshima, Japan road-tripping through Kyushu on a rainy day in May, we pulled over at these baths near the active Sakurajima volcano and couldn’t believe the view. these are one of the longest footbaths in Japan, with more than 100m of naturally-heated water from deep underground, and amazingly it’s completely FREE to visit! . . . . . #japan #japantravel #onsen #footbaths #sakurajima #kagoshima #kyushu #japanroadtrip #roadtrip
  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells πŸ”₯ Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns, known for its Hells (Jigoku), a collection of dramatic hot spring pools that are way too hot for bathing but incredible to look at! There are 7 main β€œhells”, each with its own character: - Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell): a steaming cobalt blue pool and a gorgeous foot bath (one of the only places the water is hot but safe) - Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk’s Head Hell): bubbling grey mud pools - Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell): milky turquoise pond surrounded by gardens - Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell): multi-coloured pools + steam vents, plus you can buy volcanic steam-cooked eggs and buns (believed to have health benefits, but also a super fun novelty snack) - Oniyama Jigoku (Demon Mountain Hell): home to 70+ crocodiles (!) - Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell): deep red iron-rich pool - Tatsumaki Jigoku (Spout Hell): powerful geyser erupting every 30–40min TIPS FOR VISITING πŸ’΄ Entry: Β₯2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells) ⏱️ Timing: allow 2–3hrs to explore πŸš— Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car β˜”οΈ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days! . . . . . #beppu #onsen #hells #japan #kyushu #japantravel
  • postcards from magical little Miyajima 🌸✨ this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day tripβ€” but even better as a relaxing overnighter. visit the iconic red Torii Gate, take the scenic ropeway to Mt Misen’s Peak, feed the free-roaming deer, sample the island’s many oyster treats, see the 5-story pagoda Taho-to, and cap it all off with a traditional stay at Kikunoya. slow-paced bliss ✨

WHAT TO SEE ⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections ⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!) ⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! ⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants ⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯ Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves πŸ’ƒπŸ» . . . . . #MtAso #MtAsoNationalPark #nakadake #japan #kyushu #japanroadtrip

welcome to Qatar πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO πŸ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos πŸ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building πŸ“Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) πŸ“Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon πŸ“Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! πŸ“Qanat Quartier: a quirky β€œLittle Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here πŸ“Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafΓ©s . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!! This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…) For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress! I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!? . . . . #doha #qatar #qatarairways #stopover #middleeast
