Don’t Get a Speeding Ticket in Australia
Australia has speed cameras all over the place. I was pulled over by an officer, issued a ticket and the fine was $438! I highly recommend you pay it.
Life in Adelaide
I went wine tasting, watched the sunset on the ocean, learned about hailing busses and relaxed during many rain storms.
You’re Going to Get Into a Stranger’s Car?
Two years earlier, I met a guy named Matt at a bar in Los Angeles. We stayed in touch and he is from Adelaide. He picked me up and showed me around the city. We stopped for sushi and I was happy to have him around.
Just Keep Living
Sometimes it’s forced at first, but in order to live and find happiness again, you have to live. You may not feel like it. You may want to wallow in your emotions. But you have to keep going. You have to pick yourself up and force yourself to be part of this world. Eventually, it won’t be a chore.
Buying a Car in a Foreign Country
It’s complicated buying a car in Australia when you’re American, but it’s the best way to drive into the outback. There are a lot of options to chose from, which can be difficult.
Australian Outback Serial Killers
There are 2,000 unsolved missing persons, 500 unidentified remains. The majority of Australia is a vast desert, making it the perfect place to kill.
Adventures In An Underground Town
Coober Pedy has a lot to see – from underground homes, an underground church, old mine shafts, and a vast desert. It’s truly a unique town.

Australia’s Red Center
Australia’s “red center” offers a true outback experience. From hiking Uluru, camping, riding a camel into the sunset, and hiking Valley Of The Winds.

Throughout her wild 3-week journey backpacking 220+ miles in the California Sierra Mountains, Christy encountered freezing temperatures, pelting hail storms, and losing her way, but found trail family, incredible views, and experiences that would change her life forever. Hiking up and over ten different mountain passes gave Christy a lot of time to think about why her nine-year marriage was falling apart, gave her the chance to truly embody her individualism, time to make new friends, and the strength she would need on and off the trail. Her life could never again be the same.
This is one woman’s account of the three weeks she spent on the iconic trail.
From Readers Favorite: “... a compelling non-fiction adventure story of finding strength in the face of adversity and learning how to believe in yourself.”
