I've been looking forward to sharing this photo story with you: our day at none other than the Great Wall of China. Again, for some reason, The Great Wall was never high on my list of places to visit.

We didn't arrive in Beijing until about 5:30pm. When we met our guide at the airport, he let us know that he had double-checked our hotel's address and drove past it, only to discover it had been closed for renovations for months.

Our third and final day in Hong Kong was spent travelling to Ngong Ping, the little town on the mountain, via cable car.

Finally, five weeks after coming home, I've finished editing photos from the Hong Kong & Beijing portions of my trip.

Adventure; a thirst to be closer to nature; a ceaseless lust to see more of my city, my home, my world; saying yes to new things; exploring beyond what I believed I could do: all these things were my 2014.

One of my favourite days, at some of my favourite places. Most of the photos below are from our afternoon at Fingal Head, a 40 minute drive north from Byron.

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon with Mia, making coffee, chatting and taking photos of my space for an interview with Element Eden Australia.

In this last post, we travel from Putussibau to Pontianak, Pontianak to Jakarta, and Jakarta to Sydney before I finally fly back home to Brisbane in the early hours of Monday morning.

This post covers the very last Friday of our trip; our journey back to the cities. We travelled from Bukit Peninjau Wildlife Research Station back to Meliau longhouse to say goodbye to the villagers and wait for our boats back to Lanjak—but Borneo wasn't done surprising us yet.

Our last two days in the jungle would be spent at Bukit Peninjau Wildlife Research Station, about a half an hour boat ride from Meliau longhouse.

Today we would leave our beautiful campground in Betung Kerihun National Park for another day of travelling and little else.

On that Monday, we woke up in our beautiful jungle home. Our office would be the trees, and we didn't know it yet, but today we were going to have the best (and most challenging) fun ever.

After two full days of travelling by air, our third day would be a full of travelling by land and by sea.

It was a week yesterday since I landed home after 10 days in Indonesian Borneo. It's just as surreal to me now as it was when I was leaving that this trip even happened.

With just two weeks to go until I leave for Borneo, I've finally written about why I’m trekking for orangutans in Borneo.

Documenting creatives behind-the-scenes is definitely my favourite kind of project. So it made a whole lot of sense for me to get together and collaborate with Brisbane creative Jasmine Dowling.

Some snaps of Melbourne (aka photos of buildings, street art, bicycles, coffee) from our trip four weeks ago.
