Awesome Australia

Welcome to Jenn & Leon in Awesome Australia! We are a travel blog documenting our adventures and discoveries from all around the world. We first met online on Instagram and after a few months of talking decided to take the plunge by traveling to Australia to meet in person for the first time. We have had some incredibly unique experiences as we took a Royal Caribbean cruise from Sydney to Vanuatu, New Caledonia and then back to Australia again. On our blog, we provide a mix of facts, history, our love story, and of course, lots of pictures! We invite you to follow our journey and see the world through our eyes.
