The fabulous Aurora Borealis over Tromsø, Norway. Hands down the best thing I have ever seen. I cannot wait for the day that I can see it again! What is the best thing you have seen on your travels? #northernlights #northernlightstromso #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

Uluru, Northern Territory. It really is hard to put into words the feeling that you get as an Australian, seeing Uluru for the first time. It is just simply breathtaking. #uluru #uluruhealing #solofemaletravel #travelwriter #travelphotographer #thebrighteyedexplorer

My darling mother had the Canadian Rockies on her travel bucket list but unfortunately passed from Ovarian Cancer before getting the opportunity to go. So I went for her. This one is for you Mum x #canadianrockies #solofemaletravel #travelphotographer #thebrighteyedexplorer

A stunning evening on Lake Geneva a few years back at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Definitely chuck it on your list of must do if travelling to Switzerland. #montreuxjazzfestival #solofemaletravel #travelwriter #travelphotographer #thebrighteyedexplorer

Venice Beach sunset. Isn't it just gorgeous?! This was taken on my first night in LA. After 20 plus hours of travel from Melbourne, including lay overs, LAX etc this was my reward! #venicebeach #sunset #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

One of the most visually spectacular plane landings is coming into the Queenstown Airport at Frankton New Zealand. Actually it is all spectacular once you hit the South Island coast all the way in to the airport. #queenstown #windowseat #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

Gawd I miss this. Nasi Goreng in Bali. An absolute taste explosion best spent eating close to the beach with a Bintang (or two). One of the things I miss most about travelling is being able to try foods from different cultures. #nasigoreng #bali #thebrighteyedexplorer

The two towers of Bologna, Italy. The two 'leaning towers of Bologna'. These two are called the Asinelli Tower (97.2m high) and the Garisenda Tower (48m high). Pretty impressive stuff, a steep and arduous climb up... and down. #bologna #italy #thebrighteyedexplorer

I call this one 'The Eye of Mary' A play on the Eye of Horus, named after my beautiful mother, Mary. If you turned this image upside down, it almost looks like the 'Eye of Horus'. #northernlights #alaska #solofemaletravel ##travelmotivation #thebrighteyedexplorer

High Tea anyone? Recently did High Tea at the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne, and it was soooo fancy, but sublime! Champagne, savouries, desserts and good company. #hightea #windsorhotel #windsorhotelmelbourne #Melbourne #visitvictoria #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

Oh I miss my Bali beach days. Just hanging on the beach talking with the locals, watching them go about their business while reading a book and sipping on a Bintang. #bali #indonesia #solofemaletravel #solotravel #travelwriter #travelphotographer #thebrighteyedexplorer

One of my all time favourite cities, Florence Italy. Have you ever travelled to a place that you loved that much that could quite easily pack up your life and relocate to? Tell me your story. #Florence #thebrighteyedexplorer

What a life changing moment it was for me when I walked out onto the Colosseum floor in Rome. I love how travel gives us life changing moments. What is yours? #colosseum #rome #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence is such an impressive building. Right smack bang in the middle of old town Florence, you round the corner and there is stands in all of its glory. So massive, it is hard to fit in shot. #florence #thebrighteyedexplorer

Lake Wanaka, New Zealand. Pretty windy and choppy out on the water when I visited, but the view was magnificent. Definitely a place to put on your list if visiting New Zealand's south island. #wanaka #newzealand #solofemaletravel #thebrighteyedexplorer

Sculpture 'Black Sun' by Isamu Noguchi at Volunteer Park. Some people speculate that Soundgarden came up with the name of their hit song ‘Black Hole Sun‘ from the Black Sun sculpture in Volunteer Park. Interesting. #seattle #stalkingseattle #solotravel #thebrighteyedexplorer
