I started off my travels in Melbourne, where I spent the first two days primarily getting over jetlag. Melbourne is a really nice city to walk around and explore, and is well known for its thriving gastronomy scene and popping nightlife. What struck me specifically about Melbourne is how welcoming the locals are! Restaurant owners and bartenders are more than thrilled to greet you, hear about your travel plans, and give you tips about the best places to try a delicious local beer and watch a game of footy, the local sport. 

Lodging

    I stayed with some relatives in the St. Kilda neighborhood. If you're looking for a great hostel, I had many locals recommend one called Melbourne City Backpackers.
