Perth, Western Australia Extended Edition
Perth! Such a special place I’m getting to call home for five months, soon after turning twenty. I’m Kate, here as an exchange student to study, explore and provide anyone traveling to Australia insider tips on their getaway. Check this blog post out for the Quick Trip Edition of four-days of adventures around Perth with my sister including transport, our hotel and incredible dining. This extension will include all other cafes, beaches, restaurants, shops and more that I visited during my time here. Circle back to see this post update and grow over time.
