📍 Free Things to Do in Melbourne

After living in Sydney for 7 years and now 2 months (and counting) in Melbourne, I can say Melbourne is elite when it comes to museums, art, and free activities. I mean… free tram?!! But of course, nothing beats Sydney Harbour views. 🌊✨

If you’re wondering what to do in Melbourne without spending a cent, here are some of my favourites:
🚋 Tram 35 – the free City Circle tram
🎥 ACMI – Australian Centre for the Moving Image
🎨 NGV – National Gallery of Victoria
🌸 The Conservatory – seasonal floral displays
🌳 Royal Botanic Gardens – stunning city oasis
☁️ Iwagumi Air Scape by ENESS – on display at Prahran Square, Aug 1–17

Perfect if you’re visiting Melbourne on a budget or just looking for free, fun things to do in the city. 🖤

This might be Chiang Rai’s best kept secret - a temple so magical, even Disney would be jealous 🌈
⠀
Wat Sai Khao isn’t as well known as the White or Blue Temples, but its rainbow colours and golden details make it feel so unique and dreamy. Also having no crowds is a bonus!

I knew New Zealand was beautiful, but I wasn’t ready for this. The kind of landscapes that make you feel small in the best way — like you’ve stepped into a world bigger and wilder than you ever imagined. Australia, I love you, but we need to talk about our lack of mountains. It’s crazy how a place so close can feel like a whole different world.

A selection of my favourite photographs I’ve taken in recent years ♥️ especially the last one!
⠀
My goal for this year is to take my camera out more often. Not just for photo shoots but just walks around my neighbourhood or capturing the beauty of every day life.

After 4 days of exploring the Isle of Skye, with Old Man of Storr hidden in clouds every single day, I decided to hike it anyway on my last afternoon before I left. The visibility was poor, and the wind and rain chilled me to the bone, but somehow, this became one of my fondest memories ♥️ There’s probably a life lesson in there if you’re looking for one.

The Blue Eye | Syri i Kaltër 🇦🇱
⠀
About 40 minutes from Sarandë, along Albania’s stunning coast, lies one of the most breathtaking natural wonders I’ve seen! 🩵 I took the bus here, an adventure in itself 😅, but hiring a car is definitely easier. From the entrance, it’s a 20-minute walk to the Blue Eye, with more hiking trails to explore nearby. Pack a picnic or enjoy the small café for a full day out!

Thinking of swimming? Be warned - the water is freezing 🥶 and the strong current from the underground spring makes it tricky. Plus, I’ve heard swimming might now be prohibited, so check the rules before diving in!
