Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

We are going on a trip to Bunya in two days’ time and I just didn’t expect to pack so many things for a four day trip!

It’s our first time so I am not sure what to expect. I was asking the property manager about internet connection and antennas so that I can better prepare myself. It looks like we need to pack as much as we can cos this is an outdoor place where not many stores can be found. It sure will make a good family holiday since we will be spending lots of quality time together!

I’ve heard about the wonderful holiday parks and villages in Australia but have never visited any of them. But I know that holiday villages/parks are popular among families and indie travelers.

These past days, I was busy checking out the details of Brisbane Holiday Village as we may be staying there for a fortnight or more in December. I was impressed by the cabins and facilities and I believe it’s a great place for families holidaying in the region. I know that there are bbq grills in the vicinity but I’m not sure if there is going to be an electric grill in the cabin. After comparing the rates between all the cabins, I am keen to go for a nice cabin for our family of three.

With this in plan, I am so excited with the entire planning of this move. Let’s just hope that there are cabins available for the dates I am planning for.

I’m all geared up for my trip to Singapore next week. Even though I’m born and bred there, I still feel so comfortable when I step foot in the lion city. Don’t ask me why but I think I’m really a city girl at heart!

I have been spending some time surfing the web to find the perfect shoes for summer. After a couple of pairs of Birkenstock, I thought I would see if there’s anything new out there. Camper used to be my favourite but the new styles have been disappointing. Whatever happens to the designers. Well, the sale in Singapore is on but with only 30%, I’m not enticed at all.

I move on to check out some weight loss sites for market research purpose. If you want to read reviews on fat burner, look up www.fatburnerreview.org. The weight loss industry is so huge that it’s so mind boggling! With so many products out there, you ought to choose the right one.

Maybe I should start writing down my shopping list for my trip next week and hopefully the Great Singapore Sale doesn’t disappoint.

Everyone has a routine every day and this includes a morning exercise and a coffee for some people. Others just like to flip open the daily newspapers and be informed of what’s going on around the world.

It is also necessary to take a holiday at least once a year for some others and I’m one of them! This year, I am planning a few short Asia trips and it’s something very unusual for me. For a long time, I prefer long holidays instead of getting in and out of the country every other month. But somehow, I am beginning to feel the thrill of it cos it’s nice to explore new destinations, sights and culture. I’m currently checking out Hanoi as we are soon planning a trip there. Some of the boutique hotels have ellipticals that we can enjoy during the trip.

So it’s Perhentian Island in July, Bali in August and Taipei, Hong Kong and Hanoi in September. And yes, short trips can be rejuvenating as well. If you are planning for your vacation, search your hotel to compare the best rates and savings for your vacation.

Many friends have told me about their indie travel experiences to Bali and Lombok and for a long time, I’ve been wanting to visit this lovely island. After a discussion with my other half, we are heading to Bali for a short break in August.

Call it summer vacation or what, I am geared up to relax in one of the Bali Villas and sit at the patio to listen to some nice music. Some of the luxury villas have spacious garden and a good size private swimming pool so you can really plan your activities. Imagine sitting at the day bed with a book, sipping a nice cocktail and chatting with a good friend? My uncle often does this with an electronic cigarette and his wine at the private villa whenever he’s traveling alone with some friends.

Indie travel to Bali can be so much fun. For me, it won’t be that independent cos my kid will be tagging along for this vacation. Nevertheless, Bali should be a nice place for anyone who wants to experience slow travel.

It’s end of spring here and it’s a nice weather really. I don’t need those thick sweaters or clothing so that makes my packing alot easier. I brought a couple of indie tee shirts and a pair of extra pants for the trip.

I recalled having to ask my cousin for heated blanket when I was here few years ago. You do need one in winter especially when you are staying in the bush.

We will be visiting Clayton’s new school later today and we are really excited about it. Perhaps I can do some shopping later for some indie clothing after that. Otherwise, it would have to be done online since it’s alot more convenient!

What a nice and relaxing way to spend my vacation in a bush! I arrived in Burbank Queensland two days ago and I was so impressed with the bush setting at my cousin’s house. It’s just great for an indie traveler. I wonder if someone else convert one of the acreage to a bed and breakfast!

I went shopping with my cousin for spa filters as she reckoned that I would love a dip in the spa during my stay with her. I haven’t done much the last two days except for taking a walk in the bush with my son, catching butterflies and exploring the trail. It was a relaxing experience for me.

This weekends, I will be visiting the weekend markets and hope to shop for some indie clothing at the markets. It should be nice. The weather is warming up so a handmade hat will be nice too. Vacations are great to rejuvenate the body and mind if done right. I am enjoying my quietness in the bush while catching up with some lost sleep over those busy days.

Lately, I have been searching in the web for some great travel deals. Some of my indie friends are talking about searching for some backpacking destinations and they are geared for that indie lifestyle that spells freedom and creativity.

There are many things that people discuss about a backpacking trip. For some, it recalls urban backpacking culture, where men and women would crisscross the urban landscape with their backpacks, living without anything except what rests in their packs. Many backpackers are also known for slow travel experts too. Sometimes, a group of backpackers would go for apartments for rent but in most occasions, a backpackers lodge is preferred.

To others backpacking often refers to an intense, outdoor camping experience that is more than just an indie preference. A backpacking trip can often refers to a single weekend or a few months, depending on what the backpacker desires. Traveling by backpack can take you across the globe if you have the budget. A backpacker can enjoy the landscape and meet people on a personal basis at a slower pace. And that’s how the term slow travel is becoming popular.

There has been a significant increase in indie trips across places like southeast Asia. You may find backpackers in a truly wide variety of areas. Not only will they frequent the cities, but they will also head out into vast stretches of wilderness, displaying a truly formidable type of self-reliance. If you are interested in backpacking trips, don’t worry! There’s no need to start off in this fashion; you will find plenty of different opportunities to hit the trail, many of them no further than your own home grounds.

Getting into an indie lifestyle can somewhat be a natural one. This is probably more prominent among the artistic and creative group. Nevertheless, there is nothing to stop anyone from choosing independent ideas in their attire, tastes and style.

Whenever I travel, I like to meet with all kinds of travelers and one of the best places to meet indie travelers would be a backpackers’ inn. These days, backpackers’ inn come in all kinds of classes and they are no longer dodgy and low standard as before. Few years ago, I met a few independent travelers in a backpackers in Christchurch New Zealand and it was a wonderful experience to get to know them. It is relaxing for them to take their guitars and strummed a few tunes in the guests lounge and we had a great time learning about each other’s cultures. They talked about their love for indie music and the lifestyles that they lived. Interestingly, one of them was a copper sinks entrepreneur and was also an artist at heart.

So the next time you travel, open up and go to places where you can mingle with some travelers who are enthusiastic about an indie lifestyle. They are usually approachable and a friendly lot and it won’t take too long to get to know them.
