Overnight in an Airstream: A New Glamping Experience on the NSW South Coast

In 1931, Airstream began with Wally Byam’s dream: to build a travel trailer that would move like a stream of air, be light enough to be towed by a car, and create first-class accommodations anywhere.

85 years later, when it comes to spotting one on the road, no other travel trailer comes close to the classic, instantly recognizable “silver bullet” look, and after decades of touring the roads and campsites of America (and the world), the Airstream has gone from being an oddity to a true American icon.

For those who have ever wanted to spend a couple of nights in an iconic Airstream travel trailer, a new glamping experience awaits you on Australia’s NSW South Coast. Having come a long way since Wally’s first design, modern Airstream trailers now resemble a luxury home.

Should You Leave the Airport on Your Layover?

Most travelers tend to avoid long layovers, preferring non-stop flights, so that they can minimize any downtime. For very long-distance journeys, though, they’re often unavoidable so it’s worth thinking about how you can make the most of your time when you get there.

If you do decide to leave and explore the city, you’ll get the chance to experience something completely new. However, since you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, make sure you have enough time or you might risk missing your connecting flight.

What to Expect From Traveling Together

What to Expect From Traveling Together

What can be better than travelling? My answer is travelling together with your significant other. Since 2010 Mike and I have been exploring this wonderful amazing world. I can safely say that my happiness is possible only if shared. Think breathtaking views of the Alps and boundless dunes; these are greater when you enjoy them together, and supporting each other helps to overcome any obstacles.

Travelling is a great test for your relationship. I’ve always said that traveling together will either make or break you as a team. Not all couples sit this test though, and before moving in together they seem to get along. Though travelling together is not the same as living together, just as a real date is not the same as a virtual date via some free dating site.

So, let’s see what to expect should you both decide to set out for a round the world trip, Europe trip or even jump outside of your comfort zone and move to another country.

Traveling For LEGO: Attending an International Brickvention

My greatest love as a child was LEGO. I would build intricately designed spaceships, multi-coloured castles, and re-enact scenes from various star wars films. The beauty of LEGO is that it is only limited by your imagination.

And while LEGO is little more than a passing interest of childhood for many people, it’s not just child’s play anymore. At 29 years of age, I’m an unabashed fan of Lego, and I’m far from being alone.

Adults with a passion for LEGO know the difference between a plate, brick, wedge, washer and stud. Some weeks we spend more on LEGO than we do on groceries. We can finally spend the sort of cash that as a child you rarely got to blow on plastic figures, and we’re happy to make pilgrimages all over the world for an international convention or new store.
