I am Navigating Life with Extraordinary Travel Dreams
Hi, I am Muzz! I am an ordinary man with extraordinary dreams of travelling and exploring places I haven't been before. Probably just like you.
I live in Perth, Western Australia, and I want to clarify that while I love to travel, I am not a full-time traveller or blogger, nor do I have any plans to quit my regular job.
I have immense respect and admiration for individuals who choose the full-time travel and blogging lifestyle. However, the sort of person I am leads me to believe that I'd lose the purpose of travelling and the charm of new places if I were on the road 24/7.
I'm all about finding that sweet spot between soaking up new cultures and retaining a sense of purpose and balance in my life.

I created this website to record and share my experiences with people. My story may offer recommendations and suggestions. It might also serve as inspiration for your next journey or, at the very least, provide you with some help in planning.
favourite travel quotes
"Travel throughout the land and see how HE originated the creation."
"Travel isn't always about the excitement of the flight ahead or going to new places: it's about uncovering the layers of who we are. The journey isn't merely from point A to B; it's an exploration of self. And self-discovery leads us to understanding our place in the world."
Muzz“Of all the books in the world. The best stories are found between the pages of a passport.”
“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it’s taken for granted.”
“Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of every day, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines, and sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
I love reading books in stunning spots to stretch out the experience and make the moment linger.
My Photography Gear
You don't need very expensive camera gear to take good high-quality images. Having said that, you do need a smartphone with nice camera, and that is enough. I only use my phone. If you could equip yourself with the knowledge of composition and lighting, your photos will always be fantastic.
There are thousands of articles out there that can help you understand the photo composition and use of natural light in photography. I have also written a blog post about rule of thirds, you can read that by clicking here. Learn that and teach it to your travel partner or buy a tripod if travelling solo.
Clothes that I travel with
Since everyone has their own unique style and preference when it comes to clothing. What looks good on one person may not necessarily look good on another. People have different body types, skin tones, personalities, and lifestyles, and all these factors play a significant role in determining their clothing preferences.
