The Third Vlog

I didn't know what to call this vlog... it should have been more about Melbourne, but it transformed into a thanksgiving - 

I'm thankful for having a network of friends here in Asia that love to go on vacations. I went to Stereosonic in Sydney this past weekend to meet up with my best buds from Singapore. There was a group of 6 and a lot of love in the air. I miss those guys a lot and I'm fortunate that they've introduced me to a great crew here in Melbourne (check out the Big Red Mo on the video). I'm truly amazed by how small the world has become with each new assignment... one of my new friends here in Melbourne actually lived in the same condominium where I lived in Singapore!

I'm also thankful for men with facial hair, surfing, and the zombie trend. More on zombies on my next post :)

So Long, My Hong Kong

I can't believe 6 months have passed since I was last in Hong Kong. This city will always be memorable - it was my first introduction to Asia and it brought me some great friends.

My Second Vlog

Please check out my newest vlog! You'll see a bit more Bondi and a tour through a campaign office in Las Vegas. Please comment, like, or email me any feedback at raquel@globaltumbleweed.com



My next vlog post will be up in about two weeks. I can't wait to introduce you to Melbourne, share some dancing at Stereosonic, and give you a little glimpse of what my friends are up to back home :)

Packing That Suitcase

It's Saturday at 4am. I've spent the last few hours on Pinterest - which I hear is easy to do, but I've only used it every now and then.

What got me hooked? I drank a few glasses of wine and had a smoke then realized - 

SHIT. I leave this weekend and I have so much to pack!! What are the first things I should put in my suitcase so I don't forget?

I still have too much. I arrived in Melbourne after paying an outrageous baggage fee... like equal to three one-way tickets between Sydney and Melbourne. Good thing I had a moment of zen before and after speaking with the Jetstar ticket counter man.

Last walk on Bondi's coastal walk. Had the cliffs to ourselves with huge waves creating clouds exploding in our faces.

Our first moments in St. Kilda in Melbourne. Welcome to our new home.

Orangutans Use iPad

Was having a late-night conversation about kids using technology and how intuitive the iPad is... which lead to:

I just think this video needs more views.
