With so many new faces here, I wanted to share more about the person behind the posts.. I’m Elaine! A proud Malaysian, now based in Australia, who always has a trip booked.

This page started out as an outlet to share what’s constantly in my head but has turned into a place where I want to showcase the beauty of the planet we call home and hopefully inspire you to dream big, be bold and take some chances to explore some of it!

Thank you so much for following along ❤️

Please share some thing on your wish list, you have always wanted to do (big or small!), I would love to know ☺️

Seriously underrated! Sharing a small slice of my hometown in Borneo, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Got to fully enjoy one of the oldest rainforest by kayaking through it 💚

I’ve travelled to almost 30 countries now but Kuching (Sarawak) is so unique and special, especially with its food and culture! Doing a big plug to #visitmalaysia2026.. come see it for yourself!

Thank you @semadangkayak for the special experience 💚

The motivation is real 💪🏼

Locking in hard to make sure I get to see & experience it all for as long as I possibly can ❤️

Been trying to intentionally slow down & notice the magic in the little things ✨ so here’s what I ‘picked up’ while commuting at an airport/airplane recently ✈️ not sure if it’s insignificant but thought I share them regardless!

For the longest time, our friends have said that one day we should all get into a campervan (or in this case motorhome) and do a road trip! 🚐💨

And that day finally came @camplify @suncampermotorhomes 🫶🏼 We had mix days of rain and sunshine but it was the most wholesome long weekend, with loads of long conversations and laughs 💛 We had planned to hit alot more spots but ultimately decided to take it chill instead. Because in the end, it didn’t matter where we went, having great company meant the journey was always so fun ✨

Here are some other places to stop if you had more time @sydney @visitnsw 👇🏼👀

- Seal Rocks (I went many years ago and it was left an impression despite it being a little area) 🩵
- Port Stephens (plenty to do & see here, incl sandboarding, swim with wild dolphins and more so this would need another few days) 🐬
- Port Macquarie (there’s a koala conservation hospital here!) 🐨
- Forster
- Newcastle
- Central Coast

Would you load up some friends in a van and test that friendship? 😬😜 taken in Sydney, Australia by @elaineexploring

Genuinely one of my favourite ways to see Sydney Harbour, I love it so much that I did it TWICE (both times with my bestie too!), making it extra special ✨💛 we both had our own thoughts on which session we preferred - whether it’s sunrise 🌅or sunset 🌇 but I’m keen to hear what you guys would prefer?

❣️I’ve also got a special discount code just for you guys, if you’re ever visiting @sydney and want to experience this for yourself, use - Elaine20 to get 20% off this @sydneykayakx experience!

Me: “Should I? But what if.. But omg then this would.. but if I dont…”

As a chronic overthinker (not sure if anyone else does this spiral) that questions every decision and every move, maybe we just need that reminder that it is okay to let it all go and simply put one foot in front of the other and it will all work itself out 🤍 by @elaineexploring

Finally got to do the iconic @bridgeclimb in @sydney ✨ When I lived in Sydney, for years I had driven past, taken a train and even walked across the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and always thought how cool would it be if I got to climb it? Definitely so fun to feel the rattle as you climb up/down the stairs when a train passes 😬

Thank you for completing this full circle moment for a Sydneysider at heart @bridgeclimb @sydney!! ❤️

*gifted collab (but would only ever recommend if I genuinely love it!)

Welcome to my crib 🚐💨 here’s a tour of my favourite campervan through @camplify yet! @vivecampervan

👀 Swipe >>

Look at that space with a wooden finish👌🏼it was perfect for my brother and I, while we explored the southern end of mainland Australia - Wilsons Prom!

It came with all the necessary crockery, utensils, a microwave, a sandwich press & running tap with sink 🍽️ So all we needed was to bring some food!

Plus a stove that’s outside! 🍳 Literally don’t have to worry about leftover cooking smell inside (and even then, there’s an exhaust fan built in)

If it’s raining & you want to eat or simply hang indoors.. 🕯️

Or better yet.. set up this table (and chairs) to enjoy being outside! ✨

It has every charging port you could need and it’s solar powered too ☀️

Bursting to go? Potty right here! There’s also an outdoor shower, though we didn’t use any of these as were at @parksvic Tidal River campground that has toilet & shower facilities🚿

And my favourite place to settle in.. the bed! 💤

Thanks for all the memories made in this little home on wheels 💛 @camplify @vivecampervan by @elaineexploring

Back in one of my favourite spots to unwind in Melbourne @visitmelbourne ✨

This time I got to bring my bro (who visited from overseas) and showed him my fav spots too. I’ve previously solo camped here in a tent, car camped with my partner and have also done an overnight hike too but no doubt my fav way to camp here now is in a campervan! Loved our little camper booked through @camplify @vivecampervan 💛 Stay tuned for the van tour!

Especially if you want to take it slow, it was so easy to not have to worry about setting up or packing down (just gotta remember to close the door, otherwise the resident wombats might have a party in there - our camp neighbours found out the hard way!) 😬

There’s so much to love about Wilsons Prom, from all the wildlife to the landscapes and I definitely did not show the full extent in this post, so here’s a list of more things (or mainly hikes) that I love doing here too:
- Mt Oberon
- Mt Bishop
- Oberon Bay/Little Oberon Bay
- Fairy Cove
- Squeaky Beach
- Sealers Cove
- Lightstation cottages (where you get to stay in a remote lighthouse!)

🫶🏼 Save this for your next trip
🙏🏼 Follow @elaineexploring for more!
