Taking a minute out to write about the last 1.5 years…?!

I meant it when I said more than a year ago, that I was committed to writing more frequent updates on GoCargus…! I had, and have, so much to write about. But life has a way of just happening, and as everything is a prioritisation of one thing over another, for some reason blogging has

Our First Aussie Christmas… and a pretty amazing time with family

Our last couple of months have been pretty amazing! We’ve spent Christmas and New Years Eve in Australia for the first time, we’ve had some really important visitors, and it’s the middle of summer! …hold tight for another long post on what we have been up to Down Under. The beginning of December marked the

Kuala Lumpur – we will always remember you as the place where we got our Australian Visa!

Finally we came to our last stop before moving to Australia. After just one and a half day in Kuala Lumpur our long-awaited visa was approved. This also meant that we didn’t venture much about – instead a lot of practicalities kicked in. Like buying plane tickets, finding a place to stay in Sydney when

On a Visa Run to Singapore

Singapore was a spontaneous part of our moving-to-australia-pre-travel-trip. We had originally planned to stay 60 days in Indonesia, but because of a rather complicated visa extension process on Bali, we decided to make life easier (and a lot more fun than waiting in line at an immigration office), and jump on a plane to Singapore.

From volcanoes and rice fields to hipster cafes and beautiful places to stay. Everything that makes Bali so great!

Bali has something very special and unique. It’s the smell of incense sticks, it’s the temples, the Balinese hinduism, the rice terraces, the organic cafes, the volcanoes, the amazing accommodation options. It’s so many things, and yet it’s exactly Bali. When we arrived in Bali, we immediately recognized the familiar scent from the incense sticks

Finding that rare spot of paradise – a visit to Gili and Lombok

When I was a kid I remember having this feeling of complete happiness. That kind of undisrupted happiness that is pure and completely free from any worry. When I think of it I think of playing with my brother on warm summer nights, of hanging out with friends and the smell of rain after a

Northern Queensland and even more Aussie love!

We left Sydney with a great feeling that Australia was going to be good to us, and that just continued. Northern Queensland was completely different than what we had seen in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. But it was just as much Australia. Our first stop was Magnetic Island. We had debated a lot whether

Hot and beautiful Northern Territory

From Northern Queensland and the rainforest we flew to Darwin. Here it was hot. Really hot. Like 40°C! And since we were there early October it was not even summer yet! I have tried to figure out how to describe the heat. And one day it hit me – it felt like you have just

City Life and Mountain Air in Sydney and the Blue Mountains

Oh, what a welcoming feeling of being in a big city. Sydney was just perfect! After spending 1,5 months on Pacific islands Sydney was exactly what we needed. We walked and walked through the streets of the city and our legs were hurting every night (…probably more because we did not walk much on the

The Kingdom of Tonga – and the end of our Pacific Island adventure (for now)

Wow, Tonga…! This is the country on earth that is the farthest away from Denmark! It was quite fascinating to think about where we were and trying to picture us on a map of the world. On a tiny little island in the middle of the big ocean. Getting this far away from everything is one
