things to love {about melbourne}

by Anna, with pictures from our photoswap

1. the trams that are so easy to get around in
2. that it hosts the Australian Open every January
3. the great thrifting spots
4. the arts & craft culture
5. the architecture of the old Victorian buildings
6. how the best places are often hidden in little laneways or underground

Thanks for sharing, Anna!

Melbourne looks like a great place to visit
and I'd love to take a trip to find it's hidden treasures :)

it's a photoswap! (and other thoughts)

this summer i participated in rhianne's photoswap. for those of you who don't know, a photoswap is where two people are paired together, take photos, and send each other their undeveloped film (for the other to later develop). my photoswap partner is anna, who lives in australia, and these are some of the photos i got from her film. she shot with her wide lens superheadz and i think that they came out perfect!

to see more film from the photoswap, visit the flickr group!

lastly, since i've been home i've thought about my blog name and wondered how i'm supposed to live up to my "wanderlust" now that i'm back from seven months of being abroad. i have a whole school year ahead of me which sort of limits how far i can travel. this thinking has helped me understand that having wanderlust doesn't necessarily mean that you always have to be traveling- i'm realizing that even at home i'm discovering new things all the time. so for now, i'm sort of in "wanderlust heart" mode- where though i'm not traveling very far, my heart is always discovering something new.
