Bruny Island - camping

April 19, 2012 0 Comments Travel experiences by Maria

Bruny Island is amazing - unfortunately we only had 2 whole days, before we had to be back in Hobart.

We visit Bruny Island just after a school holiday, so the Island wasn’t packed families, and so we could enjoy the quiet peaceful island with amazing nature. We went up and saw the lighthouse at Cape Bruny, the most southern spot on Bruny Island, did a little bit of fishing, but didn’t catch anything and of cause did a lot of walking on the beaches. – Absolutely amazing.

I have to say, you need to be a little bit careful as well, when you visit Bruny Island, there is a pub or hotel, with a bottleshop, where we and we meet other people as well, who had experienced that they accidently gave the wrong amount of money back, or forgot to put in the good offer price, but instead, had a higher price.

But in total Bruny Island is absolutely amazing.

Ohh good advice - remember if you are visiting Bruny Island by car, there is only one petrol station on the island, so check where it is, when you arrive on the Island. 

How to choose Best Acupuncture Health Treatments in Gold Coast

December 19, 2011 0 Comments Travel experiences by campeden

Camp Eden acupuncture is an effective natural beauty treatment that rejuvenates the skin of the face and neck reducing the appearance of both ageing and stress.  Often referred to as a natural facelift, this relatively painless procedure increases the circulation of blood and promotes oxygen uptake, stimulating the production of collagen which helps eliminate lines and gives youthful firmness to the skin.

Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture Health:

1. Improved muscle tone

2. Improvement in sagging skin

3. Tightening of the pores

4. Acne control

5. Reduction in puffiness and dark circles around the eyes

6. Brighter eyes

7. Nourishment and moisturizing of the skin from an internal rather than external source giving a renewed plump and healthy complexion.

8. Lack of improvement for back pain.

Detoxify Facial Treatment:

Did you know that a dry and dull complexion is caused by the accumulation of pollutants and toxins in the body?  Everyday stress from free radicals including computers, mobile phones, heating, fumes, cigarette smoke and many more highly aggressive forms are attacking your skin on a daily basis.  Powerful anti-oxidants and a 3 step purifying solution work synergistically to capture and neutralize these pollutants.  Protecting against premature aging, this detoxification treatment will reveal a clear, fresh, invigorated and luminous complexion.

Naturopathy Treatments:

If you are looking for the natural alternative to health and well being - Naturopathy may be your answer.  Naturopathy is the professional practice of applying various natural principles and therapies within a client consultation to strengthen and balance particular organs of the body.  A detailed case history is followed with tailor-made recommendations based on a broad holistic philosophy, whereby our naturopath often educates as well as prescribes natural treatments including herbal medicines, nutritional supplements and dietary changes.

NeuroArobics defined the human organism as a conglomeration of the body, mind and spirit intricately linked to the elements of the natural world.  Our Naturopath is highly skilled in looking at these inter-relationships of various elements and utilizing the treatments necessary to rebuild and sustain the integrity of your body.

Holistic Personal Development Training Program:

Session One - Includes assessment for postural strength and flexibility.  This aids in the diagnosis of ongoing potential pain areas due to muscle memory around poor postural practices in the workplace, during sport and exercise and general imprinted habits.

Session Two - Provides an introduction and initiation of your individual program.  Your program is designed wholly around your individual needs accounting for chronic pain and injuries and identifies exercise and stretching practices that are gentle and uniquely tailored for you.   For those already working out regularly, this session gives an overview on your techniques and the appropriateness of your regular workout practices.

Classic Facial:

A perfect introduction to Thalgo products – this treatment incorporating cleansing, toning, exfoliation, steam, extraction and the use of traditional masques is a great introduction to radiant healthy skin.  For all skin types and with the option of pure Organic.

Travel alone

April 04, 2011 0 Comments Travel experiences by Pernille Verwohlt

Travel alone is a great way to meet a lot of new people from all over the world, at the same time it is only you who decide where to and you get to learn a lot about yourself and probably make some other choices you probably never would know in your own save environment.

Of cause it is up to you own if you want to meet new people, but there is millions of ways to do that, Example on hostels, if you stay on a dorm with other people – there are a lot of backpackers who travel alone, join some of the different event there are on the hostel, book tours ect. You’ll be surprise how many people you suddenly know in very short time

It is a great experience you explore and learn a lot on your own, but can be difficult for your friends and family to share the same joy you have, because they haven’t been with you to fully understand your point.

But still it isn’t anything I wouldn’t recommend!!

Tasmania by campervan

April 02, 2011 0 Comments Travel experiences by Pernille Verwohlt

We rented a campervan for 6 days drew around for 6 days and saw most of the east coast – it was one of the best experiences I had in Australia, can only recommend it

We started out with sleeping in some of the free camping areas to save money, but after a couple of days we decide to find a campervan park, to get some power and shaver. It was apparently harder than first expected, apparently most campervans close their reception around 6 pm every day and we were too late every time – so no shaver.

Travel with a campervan

April 02, 2011 0 Comments Travel experiences by Pernille Verwohlt

We have now rented a campervan several time when we have travel around Australia, and it is something I absolute love and probably one of my favourite way to travel. With a campervan you have the chance to explore and stay out in the nature, make your own decision for how long you want to stay one place and you have everything with you.

It is difficult to explain, for people who haven’t tried it but after my opinion it is the best way to explore and enjoy the nature by being in the nature all time!

You just need to be aware of signs and places where you not allowed to camp to avoid a fine – or take the chance.

The most important when you travel in the nature is to CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF AND LEAVE THE ENVORIMENT IN THE SAME CONDITION AS BEFORE YOU ARRIVED!! For the next who arrive can enjoy the same as you did.
