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 ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆโœจ 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 youโ€™re flying through the Middle East! WHAT TO SEE โญ๏ธ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos โญ๏ธ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the worldโ€™s most stunning Islamic art collections โญ๏ธ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Dohaโ€™s skyline behind (great for photography!) โญ๏ธ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon โญ๏ธ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling Iโ€™ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! โญ๏ธ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued โ€œLittle Veniceโ€ with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants โญ๏ธ 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 cityโ€™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 ๐ŸŒ‹๐Ÿ”ฅ Mt Aso National Park is one of Japanโ€™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 itโ€™s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป . . . . . #MtAso #MtAsoNationalPark #nakadake #japan #kyushu #japanroadtrip

  • welcome to Qatar ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆโœจ 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 cityโ€™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 ๐Ÿ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ๐Ÿ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the worldโ€™s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M.

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last yearโ€™s travels that didnโ€™t make it onto the feed (because Iโ€™m perpetually behind on postingโ€ฆ) โ†’ 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 isnโ€™t sponsored, itโ€™s just a really cool program ๐Ÿ˜…) 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 donโ€™t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but itโ€™s guaranteed to impress! Iโ€™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 Japanโ€” and we might just agree!! ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐ŸŒธโœจ ๐Ÿ“ Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture TIPS FOR VISITING: - the site is open 8am-5pm - entry is ยฅ1,000 per person + parking is available nearby - reserve a row boat (30min) for ยฅ4,000 on weekdays or ยฅ5,000 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 donโ€™t hire a boat ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป If youโ€™ve been to Japan, whatโ€™s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip ๐Ÿ˜…)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: itโ€™s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! ๐Ÿ“ 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 couldnโ€™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 itโ€™s completely FREE to visit! . . . . . #japan #japantravel #onsen #footbaths #sakurajima #kagoshima #kyushu #japanroadtrip #roadtrip
  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells ๐Ÿ”ฅ Beppu is one of Japanโ€™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 โ€œhellsโ€, 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 (Monkโ€™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 30โ€“40min TIPS FOR VISITING ๐Ÿ’ด Entry: ยฅ2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells) โฑ๏ธ Timing: allow 2โ€“3hrs to explore ๐Ÿš— Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car โ˜”๏ธ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days! . . . . . #beppu #onsen #hells #japan #kyushu #japantravel
  • postcards from magical little Miyajima ๐ŸŒธโœจ this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day tripโ€” but even better as a relaxing overnighter. visit the iconic red Torii Gate, take the scenic ropeway to Mt Misenโ€™s Peak, feed the free-roaming deer, sample the islandโ€™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 โœจ

WHAT TO SEE โญ๏ธ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos โญ๏ธ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the worldโ€™s most stunning Islamic art collections โญ๏ธ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Dohaโ€™s skyline behind (great for photography!) โญ๏ธ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon โญ๏ธ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling Iโ€™ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! โญ๏ธ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued โ€œLittle Veniceโ€ with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants โญ๏ธ 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 cityโ€™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 ๐ŸŒ‹๐Ÿ”ฅ Mt Aso National Park is one of Japanโ€™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 itโ€™s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป . . . . . #MtAso #MtAsoNationalPark #nakadake #japan #kyushu #japanroadtrip

welcome to Qatar ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆโœจ 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 cityโ€™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 ๐Ÿ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ๐Ÿ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the worldโ€™s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building ๐Ÿ“Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Dohaโ€™s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) ๐Ÿ“Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ๐Ÿ“Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling Iโ€™ve ever seen! ๐Ÿ“Qanat Quartier: a quirky โ€œLittle Veniceโ€ with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here ๐Ÿ“Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafรฉs . . . . #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 yearโ€™s travels that didnโ€™t make it onto the feed (because Iโ€™m perpetually behind on postingโ€ฆ) โ†’ 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 isnโ€™t sponsored, itโ€™s just a really cool program ๐Ÿ˜…) 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 donโ€™t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but itโ€™s guaranteed to impress! Iโ€™ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!? . . . . #doha #qatar #qatarairways #stopover #middleeast
