A Little About Us
Hi, We're Molly and Tom!!
My name’s Molly, and alongside my boyfriend Tom we’ve been documenting our travels across the world on YouTube and Instagram over the past 4 years. From backpacking stints in South East Asia, our year long working holiday visa in Australia, to our latest adventure of exploring Central & South America, Tom & I got the travel bug badly and don’t intend on stopping anytime soon! Most recently we’ve got to share this incredible experience with new groups of people as we host trips around the world, and we’re SO excited to be doing that in Australia!
Our Australia Travel Journey
Endless Aussie Adventures
After first travelling in Australia and doing the ‘Welcome To Melbourne’ tour in 2020 I absolutely fell in love with the country, and in 2022, myself & my boyfriend Tom decided to move over on a working holiday visa, starting our trip this time with the ‘Welcome to Sydney’ tour and documenting our travels across the East Coast on YouTube & Instagram, before settling in what quickly became our second home: Melbourne!
We made it our mission during our year long stay to visit all 7 Aussie states and territories, roadtripping the west coast in a campervan, swag camping in the red centre & even enjoying a week long stint hiking across Tasmania, but still feel as though there’s so much left still to explore so we’re super excited to be returning!
