As some of you would know, in July of 2015 I packed up my belongings and headed down to the beautiful city of Hobart in my little Mazda 3. As a child, my parents and I would always go down to Hobart (and drive around Tasmania) as our winter holiday; we would enjoy the snow, sit by the fire and eat endless amounts of Tasmanian cheese - **let's just take a moment to appreciate Tasmanian cheese (and all local produce, for that matter)** Tasmania is definitely one of my favourite places in the world, and Hobart one of my favourite cities.

Hobart is one of those quaint cities that you see in travel magazines. There isn't a whole bunch to offer, but if you walk around the city you will find a lot of little lanes ways and cute shops. 

Accommodation 
One of my favourite hotels in the city is The Henry Jones Art Hotel. It's located right on the water front and in the middle of the action. A few hundred metres away are the floating seafood restaurants, as well as the ferry to the MONA Gallery.

Food 
One of my favourite places to eat in Tasmania is actually a chain, healthy eating restaurant. It's called LivEat and in winter, the soups are DELICIOUS!!! Alongside that, their fresh juices, salads and banana bread are to die for.

Shopping
I don't have much to say, aside from a stroll around Salamanca Place and the surrounding streets will fulfil any eclectic shoppers dream.

Things To Do
Hobart's natural wonders are what makes the city so unique. A trip up Mt Wellington is definitely worth your while. But driving around areas like Sandy Bay and Battery Point are also gorgeous. In terms of "tourist attractions": the Salamanca Markets (on a Saturday morning) are great to find local produce and homemade items, as well as grab a bite to eat; MONA Gallery is also a great place!!

much love,
