Digital Nomads - One Byte

09/03/2025

Since we aren't travelling this year, we aren't Exploring AUSTRALIA One Byte at a Time" we are "Exploring LIFE One Byte at a Time". This year is about exploring creativity, learning and personal growth.

Last year, our lives were all about movement- exploring Australia, discovering hidden gems, and embracing the freedom of life on the road. But this year has been different. We’ve swapped the endle…

These are the photos I am most proud of from the Steve Parish class. Not only because I think they are great photos but also because I actually got close enough to them to take pictures. AND stuck around long enough to get some good shots. Snakes are one of my biggest fears, and yes, I know these are pythons, but they are all the same in my head. I even had issues editing them, and when they opened on my big screen, I got shivers down my spine every time. This was definitely a labour of some sort. 🤣
Further descriptions on the photos.

Part 2 of photos with Steve Parish. Check photos for descriptions. These ones are OK. Definitely have some better ones coming up, though.

This is the first post of photos from the Steve Parish class. These aren't great as they were taken first up in the day and I was still trying to get my head around the camera settings and using the massive lens. The animals were cute though and I enjoyed seeing them. I'll put the descriptions of each animal on the actual photos.

Although we aren't travelling around Australia this year, we're still making the most of every opportunity to explore and try new things! This weekend, I (Kirsty) stepped well outside my comfort zone by attending a photography course with Steve Parish and Dean Holland (Take Better Photos Photography Courses) alongside my mum.

With little experience using a DSLR, there was definitely a steep learning curve—but the biggest challenge? Getting up close and personal with snakes! 🐍 Despite my initial hesitation, I embraced the experience and even enjoyed it.

I'll be sharing some of my favorite shots over the next few days, including the beautiful (and the more slithery) animals we encountered. But for now, here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes! 📸✨

We’ve been busy transitioning back into “normal life” but have ducked away for a sneaky couple of days in the city (Brisbane) for Penn and Teller tomorrow night.

13/01/2025

To wrap up our first day back into normality, we received an email with a link to an article published about us on the Let's Go Caravan & Camping website. Is it too late to take another year off? 😂

Discover the inspiring journey of Brett and Kirsty as they become digital nomads, finding balance between work and travel.

Well that’s a wrap for now. Tomorrow we head back to normal life for a bit. In the last year, we have learnt that there is more to life than work, that Australia is a very big place (with so much to see) but also a very small palace (when you share a campfire with someone who grew up in the same town as you) and that memories are worth more than you could ever imagine. We have had the most amazing year traveling our beautiful county and feel so lucky that we could work and travel and make so many wonderful memories. We don’t know what the future holds but we do know that our adventures together are not over. We have Vietnam and Cambodia booked in for June and then who knows. In the meantime, it’s back to normal work (but only 4 days a week now), renovations and spending time with family.

Our 2nd last video of the year. Yep we have made it home!
Our final travel adventure of the year was a whirlwind 5-week journey from Adelaide back home to Queensland! Along the way, we visited family, explored charming towns, and soaked in the beauty of the changing landscapes. But Queensland didn’t greet us with its usual sunny skies—instead, we arrived in a downpour!

Join us for the highlights of our journey as we cross five states and finally arrive back home, wrapping up an incredible year of travel. Thank you for following along with our 2024 adventures! Stay tuned for our wrap-up video of our Gap Year.

Honey we’re home! Also, how much space do we have right now!?! We just wanted to let everyone know that we are home safe and sound. We’ve been very busy since Sunday working, moving and buying furniture (because Kirsty decided it was a great idea to have a MASSIVE clean out before we left so we didn’t keep much furniture). We have some videos to share and statistics on our trip coming up so stay tuned. Just need to get settled in first.

By the way Queensland- WTF is this humidity?!?!

Our first night apart in nearly 10 months. I’m heading back to Queanbeyan for the night to help my parents and aunty with a job. Brett is staying in Wyong to finish his assignment. I’m not sure how he’ll cope without me 😉. I’m sure the BBQ and beers at my cousins will help ease the pain.

UHF radios…. We’ve been traveling for 10 months and have the UHF radio on all the time. And we have been so sick of listening to so much static! Today, with just 2 weeks left of our trip we discovered “squelching”. Now this is probably obvious to many but for those of it that it isn’t, you can change the squelch settings on your unit which minimises the static. Just google the manual for yours and adjust as necessary. Can’t believe it was that easy!

Part 2 of our Flinders Ranges adventure is live! 🦘🚁✨ We lost a ton of dashcam footage (so you won’t see just how many animals darted across the road in front of us!) but we still managed to capture some pretty incredible moments. From close encounters with emus, kangaroos, and goannas to a breathtaking sunset helicopter ride to Chase Lookout at Rawnsley for wine and canapés, this trip has been something special. 🍷🌄

What’s on our mind? 1 month. 4 weeks. 28 days. 672 hours. That’s all we have left of our amazing trip. We are excited to see everyone but also sad that our trip is coming to an end. 😀☹️🙄😫🤔😬😭

Hit us up with any questions you have about our trip and we’ll do an end of trip wrap up video.

While researching our dream setup, we loved watching walkthrough videos to see how others had set up their car and van combos. It gave us a glimpse into different layouts, setups, and the mods people make to suit life on the road. So now, after 9 months on the road ourselves, we’re sharing our own! Meet Betsy (our Mazda BT-50) and Milton (our Coromal caravan).

This isn’t a polished tour—just a real look at our well-loved, road-worn setup, complete with dust from recent dirt road adventures and no time for a wash. We hope this video helps someone else out there as they plan their journey!
