Welcome to The Wanderbug, a travel blog written for humans, by a human. I'm Genevieve, and every guide is personally written by me and based on my firsthand travel experiences. Hello! I’m Genevieve, thanks for stopping by. The Wanderbug is a travel blog about living a life of travel, and finding beauty, awe & wonder on your travels. I’m Australian and live in Melbourne. I grew up in Brisbane, spent time studying in Paris, lived in New York City & now live in Melbourne. I write about my travels, moving cities (and countries), life in New York City and destination guides & itineraries based on my experiences. I work in PR & Marketing in the hospitality industry. I love to travel, and travel often, but I love my “fixed life” too. I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to quit your job to see the world, and that anyone’s life can be full of adventure.
