THE BEST FLIGHTS WEBSITE EVER!

I feel like It's only right to share the cheap flight love with the 15 people that read my blog.

 

Now its actually pretty manageable affording to travel as much as I do, simply because I have learnt to manipulate a website www.skyscanner.com to find me the cheapest flights on offer. Maybe everyone already knows this.. but my mind was blown when I learnt about it.

 

Thanks to my sidekick Jordan who has stars in his eyes when it comes to travel, I was shown ways to find the cheapest destinations as well as cheapest times of year to travel.

Its simple. Just a matter of searching a city or country and being as vague or exact as you want. You can simply choose your departure city and destination as everywhere, a country or a specific city.

Dates can be chosen as whole years, months or days.

 

If you are flexible, you then can go through the next year to see what the cheapest dates are. It shows all flights as they are looked at by other people and updated as requested.

 

Sometimes this can be inaccurate but most the time is spot on.. $69 one way flights from Bali to Perth, $780 Perth to dublin return (a rare find), $373 Perth to Ho Chi Minh return and $1490 Melb to Cabo return are just a few of the random fares at low prices I have seen.

 

Even without booking flights, its my favourite website to checkout. Dreaming about all the amazing places I could go. The map function shows even more unusual destinations, making the world your oyster!

 

 

*maybe if all 15 of you read this blog, skyscanner will start paying me for advertising!

CAMP LIFE

Epic Sunsets

Mining Selfie

The only patch of grass at Camp

So I have never really worked on a remote mine site. I have done fly in fly out and lived in remote towns but never been based in a camp for the duration of my shift. 

So far I love it here. Even with the rig moral of mine site life.

It's a whole new experience. After 7 hours of online inductions, a day of inductions in Perth and 2 more days of inductions on site, I was finally allowed to start work, but still had to be passed out to operate forklifts that I have a nationally recognised license to do. 

 

Everyday we walk to the food hall on the same footpaths one behind the other, we get on the bus to go to work, we get off the bus, get breathalysed, do morning stretches and have a pre-shift meeting. It's Almost like a dictatorship minus the dictator, the poverty and the fact we get paid a sh*tload of money.

 

 And.. I am so stoked to be here. I'm really lucky to be working with a top crew of people. Everyone so far has been really friendly (possibly helps being part of the female minority) and the work itself is good. 

 The wildlife from the mice that occupy our workspace to the cows

that wander across the road constantly keep me entertained. Apparently we have a resident bungarrow that I am yet to meet.

At the moment I am on nightshift, It's freezing cold up here at night! Whoever said the Pilbara is hot, lied!
