11 things i learned while visiting australia
First thing’s first, I’m the realest. Kidding. Just a reference to Iggy Azalea’s, (who happens to be from Australia) “Fancy”.

We spent 5 nights and 6 days at Mercure Kooddoo on Kooddoo Island, and about 1.5 days in Malé, the capital city. We had trouble picking an island at first because everything was ridiculously expensive. The deciding factor was that we found a TravelZoo deal for an overwater villa, with a private pool, mini bar,…
