Aussie Travel Bloggers

With Australia Day here and being out of the country, I must admit I am a little homesick. Surprising, because if I were home I would be working on Australia Day to plan for the upcoming teaching year and I am most certainly not missing that. To brighten the day I thought I would hunt down some incredible Aussie Travel Bloggers and share them with you all. There really isn’t a better way to spend Australia Day than promoting what my amazing fellow Australian colleagues are doing while they hop, jump and skip around the world.

So here it is, a list of INCREDIBLE Aussie Travel Bloggers that everyone should check out. Do yourself a favour, you know you want to!
