Most of my readers are (understandably) in Australia – but the next most common country of origin for a reader is the USA.
Now I’ve met quite a few women (and some couples!) from the USA and have always enjoyed their company. So when I noticed just how *terrible* the exchange rate is at the moment between the Australian dollar and the US dollar I thought “well that sucks for us – but it’s a golden opportunity for anyone in the US who might be thinking of booking me!”
To be exact, the exchange rate is currently 1.61 Australian dollars per US dollar – that is insanely good value. In short – if you are thinking about taking a holiday to Australia and would like the pleasure of a companion for some or all of your trip, then there has never been a better time. If you’re taking a holiday, but not coming here then you can always fly me to wherever you are going and still reap the benefit of the excellent exchange rate when paying for my services.
So if you are in the USA and would like to explore the possibilities of a booking with me then please feel free to drop me an email.
So here we are – it’s 2025! And I find myself having Chinese food for dinner in Narrandera in Southern NSW, where I’m staying overnight before picking up a tractor that I have just bought, and I’ve gotten to thinking about the year ahead…
Now the world may not have the certainty that we would like, but this year, like every year, will be what we make of it. I’m not one for “new years resolution” as such, but I do like to think about priorities and goals for the new year.
So the things that I have in mind this year…
I definitely want to do more photography. I have some travel with clients coming up this year, so I’m looking forward to more wildlife and northern lights photos. But I’d also like to take more photos here in Australia, be that self portraits (building on this!). Birds and other wildlife – I’d really like to take more photos of our native animals and birds especially. That will fit in well with my next point below as well as landscape images. Photography has been and is a big part of my life and my identity and I haven’t been making enough time for it, which I plan to change this year.
Touring within Australia. While I love overseas travel there is so, SO much to see here in Australia. Back in February 2020 I spent five days at Lake Mungo in south west New South Wales. It was an amazing experience and one that I really want to repeat (both there and other places).
When I drove back from Victoria after Christmas I took a more inland route (via Narrandera). It was a fantastic drive – no pressure to be anywhere and an opportunity to see a part of the country that I haven’t seen before. I would have liked to take more time to explore the Murray and Murrumbigee Rivers.
My car is currently having “work done”, but once I have it back I will be able to travel in more remote and rough places more easily, as well as camping rather than having to stay in motels. So that will give me more opportunities to do photography which I really look forward to.
Film making. This one is harder, as film making – especially the erotic kind – is difficult to do on your own (although I do have at least one idea in that regard!). I am going to keep thinking about it though and hopefully opportunities may present themselves this year.
Scuba diving. I haven’t been in the water diving in over a year. I had a couple of incidents with claustrophobia the last time I went diving (at Lord Howe Island) that put me off it a bit, but I think that it’s time for me to get back in the water and put that behind me. It’s very much a matter of mindfulness and relaxation, not letting the situation overpower me. I know that I can do it and more practice will help with that. I also really want to see cool underwater stuff! I have a friend who wants to get his diving certificate, so I might have a talk with him about it and see if we can do some diving together. Having a good diving buddy makes it a lot easier and safer.
Diving is also a chance for both photography and film making and I would really like to do more of that. Underwater photography is a very challenging form of the art that I would like to work on and improve my skills in.
So there are a few things that will be on my list this year! I hope you have fun and productive things on your list too – who knows, you might even decide to include me on your list! And if you do I promise to do my very best to make it a fantastic experience.
Post covid I haven’t been travelling as much and Christmas especially. I find flying at Christmas uniquely unpleasant (as I’m sure many people do). This year however I decided to make the trip to see family in Victoria. I drove down from Sydney though to avoid the aforementioned air travel pain!
The drive there was uneventful (the best possible outcome when travelling the Hume Highway) and Christmas with family was fun.
I also had the pleasure of a booking in Melbourne before I headed home to Sydney.

Entrance to the Museum of Desire in Collingwood
Now one thing I had thought would be fun to see was The Museum Of Desire in Collingwood (which I talked about previously). It turned out to be a fun, lighthearted look at sex and sexuality and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an hour or two of quirky entertainment in inner Melbourne.
I rather liked the “interactive” nature of many of the exhibits – from a giant “couch thing” that told erotic stories, to the game that required you to match faces to genitals to cars and hand bags! Not to mention the phallic ring toss, and the butt-putt mini-golf…
There was also static art, film, and an interactive sound scape installation. It was fun and worth the investment of a little time.
Faces, genitals, hand bags, and cars – which belongs to whom?Choose a camera, strike a pose (more or less clothed!), and take the photo – it will then be displayed along with many others on the screens outside the boothThis photocopier has clearly seen some things!Break the laser beams with your hand to interact with the sound scape!
So thank you Museum of Desire, you provided a fun and lighthearted diversion on a muggy Melbourne afternoon!
I just wanted to say merry Christmas and thank you to everyone. To my clients this year, thank you for your support – I really appreciate it and I look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
I’ve been following a keto diet now for over a year (with intermittent fasting), so I tend to eat a lot of salad. One of the tenets of a keto diet is that you should be eating more protein (and fat). I was given this product a while back and had never gotten around to trying it until recently (BTW – I have no interest in “paleo” diets and “superfoods”, I’m not endorsing this brand or ideas, I just enjoy this thing). It’s a mix of seeds, so it adds fats and protein to my salad. It also adds a nice gentle crunch texture, which I really enjoy.
My dieting has so far resulted in nine kilograms of weight loss (despite waffles in Norway), which I’m quite please with!
Having penetrative sex for the first time can be a big challenge, especially for women. But it doesn’t need to be. A sex worker can help a person who is nervous about first time sex to have a fun and enjoyable experience where they have and maintain control.
Are you ready to indulge your curiosity? The Museum Of Desire is making its global debut in Melbourne this year, and we can guarantee it’s unlike anything else you’ve ever seen. Imagine stepping into a space where the sex is art, art is sexy, and curiosity is always encouraged. This isn’t just an exhibit—it’s a fully immersive, boundary-breaking experience where every shadow whispers, every space invites, and every art piece flirts back. Intrigued? Well, it’s time to get your tickets, because the Museum of Desire is about to become the hottest event in town.
And I have to say that I’m intrigued! If you’re in Melbourne and are looking for some unconventional fun then I think this might be just the thing!
Oh – if you have been to the Museum of Desire then I’d love to hear about it – drop a comment below!
