Our latest STA Explorer is the lovely Miss Georgina Nutley from Kent. Getting ready to go backpacking round Australia at the end of this month, George is seriously excited about 9 weeks of ‘amazing sites, incredible adventure and wild partying’ with her friend Claire.

George has just started the Hip21 blog to record their experiences and insights, and in her latest post talks about finalising their Oz itinerary at STA Travel. She has a glowing recommendation to offer:

Adam is the friendly ginger giant with experiences of Australia beyond belief!! He is fantastic! Hip and I asked him a million questions last night and his answers were perfectly honest - perhaps ice in Adelaide during August… tooo big food portions and boxes of wine… crap snow.. amazing yachting on the Whitsundays!We booked 4 excursions with STA last night! The brochures are wicked and Adam’s ideas were brilliant.

To read the final lineup of tours and adventures she’s decided on, as well as tips on securing discounts and booking early for campervans, click here.

George will be updating us on her adventures throughout her time in Oz, so if you share her outlook on life, you’ll definitely want to follow her posts on Hip21. And who wouldn’t want to be the virtual travelbuddy of a girl who loves:

pushing it, asking for more, stepping over the line, crossing the boundary, tapping on your head, knocking on your door - life is a big adventure, take the opportunities and find more

I just hope Adam can handle the fame!
