Ho ho ho … What a fantastic Christmas party we had last Thursday, especially after all these busy weeks in December – don’t wanna think of the upcoming weeks either!!! Peak season for the Tourism industry means not much sleep for us, but with the right team it is fun too, especially if you all go nuts on a yacht in stunning Sydney Harbour with free booze and finger food :)

The party was held on the Sports Yacht owned by Wake Up! Hostel or more correctly the Millet Family. Wake Up! is Sydney’s Number One Hostel….by far… great location, super clean facilities, travel desk and the 7 day a week backpacker bar ‘Side Bar’. We can’t recommend the hostel highly enough and want to thank Christian, Margaret and Warren for their ongoing support for Travellers Auto Barn and their genuine kindness. Big Thanks from everyone at Travellers Auto Barn!

Merry Christmas everyone !!

 

Santa, this is what I wish for Christmas and my travels ….

I have just been checking out a few more blog stories for our lovely Travellers Autobarn customers and whilst I was listening to Michael Buble’s Christmas album on youtube (Yes, I do admit, I like Michael and I like Christmas, c’mon judge me I am prepared!), I found the following blog on gapyear by Marcus Sherifi and I must say, these items are well chosen and should not be missing in your next backpack.

Christmas is just around the corner so check out the following essential travel items (you can directly forward this blog to Santa, my advice: no time – wasting, you never know how busy Santa will be this year!!).

Wherever you’re going on your gap year, it always pays to be prepared, so here are our 20 travel essentials for Xmas.
