This post is very different from what I normally post on my travel blog The Boutique Adventurer. I saw a video made by Italians of what they wish they had of known ten 10 days ago. It made me think about what the world might look like when this pandemic is over. I am by […]

A Rottnest Island day trip was one of my favourite recent travel experiences. Lovely little Rottnest Island is just 18kms from the centre of Perth. The island is loved by locals as much as tourists.
