Brasileiro chovendo {Brazilian rain}
It’s Summer here in Sydney but you couldn’t tell by looking out the window. A dull veil has fallen over the city as shades of grey cast by clouds and raindrops envelope the streets, like it has done for the best part of 6 weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sound of rain [...]
Darren Martin Photography
Sometimes you have no idea how cool your other half is until they introduce you to a super-talented Photographer, Creative Director and all-round nice guy such as Darren Martin, and in my attempts to be cool by association, I’m pretty pleased to be reworking that introduction to all you keen readers out there. With a [...]

Midnight sun } Iceland
You can’t go past a good piece of time-lapse cinematography can you? Especially not when it’s set in a mystical land of everlasting summer sun… Iceland.
Lake St Clair
Today I’m delighted to introduce you to our latest contributor – a very talented photographer and artist, James Murphy. You’ll hear from James from time to time around Cohabitaire so hope you enjoy his work – and if you do, don’t be shy – say hi! First time I saw Lake St Clair I couldn’t [...]
Julian Bialowas } words and pictures
Julian Bialowas has been making a name for himself on the world web every day for the past year. You might recognise his project, 365Q… a clever combination of stunning outdoor photography, typography and profoundly inspiring quotes released daily. Browsing through Julian’s work I just knew you guys would love it too, so I got [...]
Trunks & tusks! Thai elephant conservation centre
Now we’ve become somewhat eco-thoughtful whilst travelling about, probably not as much as we should, but we are making a concerted effort. It was with this in mind, and a desire to get up close and semi-personal with Thailands most amazing animal, that we chose to visit the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre.
Mewar Festival : Udaipur, India
It’s one of those classic traveling strokes of luck, arriving in a foreign city in the middle of a local festival which ends up becoming the highlight of your trip. In this case, we were in traveling through Rajasthan, India and the city we had arrived in was Udaipur. Udaipur is already one of the [...]
Frozen surprise } an Antarctic adventure
Somehow, when uprooting our lives to move home from the UK, travelling via South America seemed like a logical idea. It also meant we would stand on all five continents within twelve months. Given we’re unlikely to scale all the world’s tallest peaks this really would be our crowning travel glory! Hopping on a boat [...]
Dream big! See ya later!
…and I’m off!! Today begins my journey of Yoga Teacher Training in Bali!! Four weeks of study, stretching, surfing and sunning! Total tropical bliss. It’s a dream that I didn’t realise was my dream until it fell in my lap! Sometimes you just have to be open to the world and you’ll find what you’re [...]
Live vicariously } The Goodwin Project
The world is an amazing place full of natural beauty, life and love. The Goodwin family certainly thinks so: Hit Refresh if clip don’t show first go // Or CLICK HERE to visit source Incredibly captivating, isn’t it?! I’ve watched it around seven times it’s just so superbly soft and powerful. How are those flyover [...]
Sailing Turkish seas
I’ve never felt so much like a pirate than a few years ago when I found myself aboard a boat with a group of fine ladies and a few other unbeknown passengers, sailing the incredible south western coast of Turkey. Not that we sailed the boat ourselves, wore eye patches or even journeyed on un-chartered waters: [...]
Cape Town’s Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
We’re so lucky to have a very special guest here on Cohabitaire today: the lovely Lana Kenney who’s blog, lanalou style, I read religiously and highly recommend. Please give Lana a warm welcome as she shares some natural beauty from Cape Town… Today I’d like to share with you one of Cape Town’s highlights and [...]
Billabong Pro Rio
Watching the Billabong Pro Rio this week has given me serious flash backs… being the pro surfer I am and all. Ha ha, I wish! You might recall from a previous tale that I left my heart in Rio. Indeed I did. And why wouldn’t you fall in love with a magical, tropicalia city that [...]
Norway travel by nature & architecture
Have you been to Norway? No?! Me neither. For those who have, you might recognise these fantastical scenes. I can’t believe these places can be found on earth, they look so darn heavenly. They must shoot a lot of car commercials here! The National Tourist Routes in Norway has a fantabulous site where you choose [...]
360º Ski } LAAX Switzerland
I have skiing dreams pretty often. They feel not too dissimilar to flying dreams and stem back years now to the exhilarating holidays we had at the snow as kids. Besides actually hitting the slopes, nothing else has simulated this feeling til I came across this clip from LAAX resort in Switzerland. Don’t just sit back [...]
Caving Chiang Mai, Thailand
Thailand is well known as the land of smiles, beautiful beaches and incredible climbing on “Salvador Daliesque” limestone. What many do not know, however, is that the same conditions that create the endless climbable yellow and orange karst towers also create a fantastic network of underground caves. On arrival in Thailand, many adventurers head south [...]
Backpacker Magazine 1970-79
These are so bloody RAD! I don’t really know what to say because the pages of Backpacker Magazine from the 70′s really speak for themselves – loud and clear: nature is ace. Back then, they really knew how to appreciate nature — with tighter duds, awesome moes, splashes of faded red, sleeping bag parkers and [...]
The {many} parks of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a city that really gets the urban/nature ratio spot on. They love a good monument for one (not to mention all the dogs) so surrounding trees and greens come in next. Plazas & Parques around every corner mean you’ve always got a spot to stop and have a sandwich… which rates highly [...]
Oh, Bolivia!
Oh Bolivia, many wonder of your geographical whereabouts, many ignore you as you have no beaches, some assume you are not “happening” enough, and some have never even heard of you, but you hold many wonders.
Do you realise? We’re floating in space…
Things have been pretty chaotic on this floating rock lately, haven’t they?! It’s hard to write about something that doesn’t seem meaningless or trivial while so many are trying to make sense of their sadness. Perspective does that to you. In the grand scheme of things etc. etc. Thing is, it has always been chaotic [...]
Up close and personal with Uganda’s mountain gorillas
Not many people can say they’ve been slapped on the bum by a silverback. Some might tell a similar tongue-in-cheek story set in a nasty bar somewhere in the backstreets of Sydney – but I was ‘felt-up’ by an actual, real-life, wild gorilla during a recent trip to Uganda.
{photo set} Seal rocks
Hi guys… hope you had a top weekend. ‘But it’s Wednesday?!’ I hear you say. Well, to me it feels like Tuesday. Why? Cause I took a couple of days off and went up the coast for a best friend’s 30th. So much fun! Have you been to Seal Rocks before? Gosh, it’s an amazing, [...]
