Beirne Lane Dining – Fortitude Valley, Brisbane
My friend invited me to join her for lunch at Beirne Lane, in the Fortitude Valley Mall. I didn’t expect much, to be honest. It’s been a while since I have been in the mall and it just reminds me of being drunk and eating cheeseburgers in my early...

Coral Flora Villa, Gili T Island, Bali
