Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I am working in the city, so I am staying in Hobart. Everyday I travel aboou 3 miles from my apartment to my work. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

It took me 40 hours (about 2 whole days!) to travel from my home in Hopkinton, Massachussetts to my new home in Hobart, Tasmania. Since then, I've explored the island of Tasmania and some other places in Australia, like Sydney and Canberra. 

How did I get around this week?:

One of the best things about Hobart is that all of the city buses are free to ride! Anyone can hop on the bus and it will take you wherever you need to go. I love taking the bus to explore new towns around Hobart. 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

This week I went on a hike to the top of Mount Wellington. Mount Wellington is the big mountain that overlooks Hobart. The mountain is only a couple minutes drive from the city, so it is a nice place to get some exercise and see the beautiful view. 

Other Travel News from this week:

As summer starts to get closer in Australia, I am noticing more tourists visiting the city. Sometimes tourists from the U.S. like to come to Australia during our Australian summer to get a break from the cold U.S. winter!
