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

  • Back in Jordan for the next couple weeks to run our first group trip in the Middle East & we couldn’t be happier to be returning to one of our all-time favourite places!!! 🤩😭 We spent a month falling in love with this country last year, from the remote Jordan Trail to hidden corners of Petra that most tourists miss to heart-pounding scrambles in Wadi Rum, and we distilled it all down into the perfect 10-day adventure itinerary for those who want something a little MORE than the same old, mass-produced tour experience. We’re also incredibly proud to be partnering with local adventure pioneers @experiencejordanadventures to deliver a uniquely epic experience for our travellers, while maximising the money that stays LOCAL and ensuring we are able to support communities in the most ethical & sustainable ways. Our partners are paving the way for responsible adventure tourism here in Jordan, providing language education & guide training to Bedouin communities, ensuring continued skill development & employment— and it’s a mission we are very passionate about supporting on this and all our future group trips. Stay tuned for trip updates in my stories as we explore magical Jordan this week! And definitely consider joining us next spring for round two 👀🤩

  • MONTENEGRO ROAD TRIP BUDGET 🚗💸 We spent 2 incredible weeks exploring Montenegro this July— swipe to see everything we spent for 2 people (in USD)! A few notes about our travel style: we are “budget conscious” but no longer true “budget travellers”, in that we stay in private rooms with private bathrooms, love eating out, and are willing to splurge on the occasional activity if we feel it’s worth it! You can definitely do Montenegro on a tighter budget, but we feel this budget here is ideal for a high-value trip that prioritises experiences and comfort without totally going for broke. 🔗 see our recommended itinerary at: brookebeyond.com/montenegro-itinerary ⁉️ Please let me know if this post is interesting to you and/or what other travel finance content you’d like to see!

  • off the beaten path in the mountains of Montenegro! Montenegro already flies under the radar when it comes to European hiking destinations, but this was the one place where we truly had it ALL to ourselves: 📍 Maganik Mountains, Montenegro This compact limestone range in the centre of the country is virtually unknown, yet filled with spectacular karst formations and dramatic landscapes that rival the Dolomites! I had to do some real deep-diving online to find out info about this place, but a few locals were kind enough to share their advice on the best route AND a solid guide, who led us all the way to the summit of Trešteni vrh 🤩 . . . . . #montenegro #maganik #treštenivrh #trešteni #montenegrotravel #visitmontenegro
  • The magic of Durmitor National Park 🏔️🇲🇪✨ Tucked away in northern Montenegro, Durmitor is a rugged alpine wonderland of limestone peaks, flowering meadows, and deep canyons— Dolomites vibes, but without the crowds, and honestly one of the most breathtaking national parks we’ve ever explored!! ✨ Best things to do in Durmitor: Bobotov Kuk (2,523m) – 10km return trail to the park’s highest peak with ~950m of gain, rocky switchbacks, and a fun summit scramble Mt Prutaš (2,393m) – 9km return hike with ~750m of gain, famous for its folded limestone cliffs and meadows bursting with wildflowers Drive the Durmitor Ring Road – a 76km alpine loop with jagged peaks, tiny villages, and photo stops around every bend 📍 check out our full Montenegro road trip at brookebeyond.com/montenegro-itinerary . . . . . #montenegro #durmitor #durmitornationalpark #roadtrip #balkans #bobotovkuk
  • Switzerland is home to some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world— jagged snow-capped peaks, turquoise glacial lakes, and flowering alpine meadows straight from the pages of a storybook. ✨ full itinerary link in bio ✨ But unlike other destinations that require long backcountry treks to experience jaw-dropping views, Switzerland’s extensive network of gondolas, funiculars, and chairlifts provides unparalleled access even for day-hikers! This Switzerland itinerary by train is the best way to explore the magical Alps with only 10 days 👇🏻 day 1: fly into Geneva, train to Zermatt day 2: AM Gornergrat to Riffelberg hike, PM Five Lakes hike day 3: Matterhorn Glacier Paradise + Breithorn summit day 4: train to Interlaken, PM Lake Brienz cruise + Harder Kulm day 5: Oeschinensee day 6: train to Grindelwald, Jungfraujoch + Kleine Scheidegg day 7: train to Lucerne, explore town day 8: Stoos Ridge hike day 9: train to Appenzell, Schäfler Ridge hike day 10: Saxer Lücke hike day 11: train to Zurich & fly out ✨full details at brookebeyond.com/switzerland-itinerary ✨ . . . . . #swissalps #switzerlanditinerary #zermatt #interlaken #grindelwald #jungfraujoch #lucerne #appenzell
  • Dolomites…or Montenegro? 🤔 In search of more undiscovered/hidden gem hiking destinations in Europe this summer, we were SO blown away by the mountains in Montenegro, which honestly reminded us of the Dolomites! And yet, there’s barely anyone on these trails 🤯 Did you have any idea Montenegro looked like this?? ✨ stay tuned for some of our favourite national parks & hiking trails to inspire your next outdoor trip to Montenegro . . . . . #montenegro #durmitornationalpark #prokletije #accursedmountains #maganik #dolomites #dolomiti
  • postcards from croatia ✨ as this year’s iteration of our annual gals’ trip, mum and I explored the pearl of the adriatic with all her inland corners and wild coastlines, cobbled lanes and old city walls, sparkling coves and family vineyards, it’s no secret croatia is beautiful— but I feared it might be slightly overhyped yet we spent every day of our 2-week trip in constant awe… frankly, I’m not sure it’s hyped *enough* and I tried my best to capture just a little bit of the magic on film 📸

MONTENEGRO ROAD TRIP BUDGET 🚗💸 We spent 2 incredible weeks exploring Montenegro this July— swipe to see everything we spent for 2 people (in USD)! A few notes about our travel style: we are “budget conscious” but no longer true “budget travellers”, in that we stay in private rooms with private bathrooms, love eating out, and are willing to splurge on the occasional activity if we feel it’s worth it! You can definitely do Montenegro on a tighter budget, but we feel this budget here is ideal for a high-value trip that prioritises experiences and comfort without totally going for broke. 🔗 see our recommended itinerary at: brookebeyond.com/montenegro-itinerary ⁉️ Please let me know if this post is interesting to you and/or what other travel finance content you’d like to see! I’ve been tracking every dollar spent in a custom spreadsheet since I started full-time travel 5 years ago (!!!), so if this is something people are keen on, it’s easy for me to start sharing more budget breakdowns for the destinations we visit ☺️

off the beaten path in the mountains of Montenegro! Montenegro already flies under the radar when it comes to European hiking destinations, but this was the one place where we truly had it ALL to ourselves: 📍 Maganik Mountains, Montenegro This compact limestone range in the centre of the country is virtually unknown, yet filled with spectacular karst formations and dramatic landscapes that rival the Dolomites! I had to do some real deep-diving online to find out info about this place, but a few locals were kind enough to share their advice on the best route AND a solid guide, who led us all the way to the summit of Trešteni vrh 🤩 . . . . . #montenegro #maganik #treštenivrh #trešteni #montenegrotravel #visitmontenegro
