It’s so lovely to hear from other female travelers who are inspired and motivated by Travelettes.net.

‘Melbourne Cup’ is an age old institution and tradition of the state of Victoria, Australia. I admit, I had never heard about it in previous trips to Oz until I came to live permanently in Melbourne and heard about an event which allowed excited Melbournians to have a public holiday. I was now an excited Melbournian who got a day off… but what was this all about?!! It’s Australia’s major …

Arriving in Bangkok is like being in retreat wonderland. Massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, hair extensions – anything to make you more relaxed and more beautiful.
