We're the Out of Office Traveller: two friends from London who work corporate 9-5's, but still have a passion for travelling the world. We want to show you that it's possible to travel as a working professional, and have guides that show you how we see the world with our limited time off by giving first hand tips and advice for amazing travel destinations.
Together, we have visited over 70 countries and hope to see many more. We spend our spare time doing as much research as we can on our next destinations, and we'll share our best travel tips and hacks to save you time and money.
Great video. I've lived in Brisbane for 48 years. Travelled throughout Vic in a camper trailer. I now visit Victoria regularly (March, September, Dec/Jan) - base in Ferntree Gully close to the beautiful Dandenong Mountains. So much more to see like The Grampian and the high country. Love exploring nooks & crannies in Melb and love the public transport - so cheap or you hire a car for the countryside. I haven't experienced Vics winter yet!
People don’t seem to realise Victoria is almost at the bottom of the world. Next stop is Antarctica. It’s no wonder we have such cold weather sometimes. Although what we call freezing isn’t compared to the northern hemisphere.
Victoria lol, not Melbourne. Philip Island etc etc is not in Melbourne, nowhere near actually 😂. Melbourne is the city and surrounding metro suburbs, calling Philip Island Melbourne is exactly like calling Melbourne Philip Island. they're completely different locations, nowhere near each other in the state of Victoria. you said you live in the UK right? Would you call London Bristol? 😂
We’re gonna do this soon I can’t wait I am an Aussie citizen and I live in Australia but I have never been to the outback in my life so we’re planning to go there with my mum’s friends who have their daughter who is friends with my little sister. I can’t wait to go.
Welcome to Melbourne. The boredom capital of the western world. I traveled to most of Europe, the United States, Israel, India, Japan, Singapore... I lived in Melbourne for over 10 years. A city without any interesting attractions. A city that after 1600 (4PM for westerners who don't know a 24-hour clock) closes and empties. In Tokyo New York Tel Aviv everything is open 24/7. good luck with finding a good coffee shop after 1600. A little gray one full of homeless people or typical Australian mental patients who forgot to take their pills in the morning. Australia is a socially sick nation. A culture of toxic positivity, everyone is terribly polite in Melbourne but your neighbors will immediately report you to the authorities if you don't "walk within the lines". Lying hypocrites pretending to be your friends. Australians can be educated but stupid when it comes to conduct in the public sphere or interpersonally, not to mention basic street wisdom which is not really the case either. exists in the shallow western world. Lacking basic life skills. People are cold and closed emotionally and mentally. Flat Australian culture with no content (and what is Australian culture anyway? Betting on horses and dogs? Betting on stupid footy?Beat your wife and kids at the end of the day? Getting drunk and developing amazing emotional abilities just because you drank over 10 beers in two hours?) Australians are robots who operate according to structured protocols. Not capable of thinking outside the box for a moment .probably because it's impolite of course or just culture issue (there's no such thing as Australian culture) or just another day of toxic positivity in vibe-less Melbourne. Victoria is a real police state with Locals who memorize laws and regulations and really try to control you so that you will be an obedient and stupid citizen just as them.
It always baffles me that people are suprised that melbourne gets cold. Australia is a huge place and Melbourne is to the south of the continent. No one expects Seattle to have the same weather as Palm Springs.
I’ve skied there in June and July many times. But the last time I skied was in August many years ago. Unfortunately global warming has had an impact and even though the ski runs down to Trockner Steg were open the run ends well short of the cable car station and there were visible cracks on one of rheumatoid arthritis runs on the glacier. Still worth it though.

It was really challenging to pronounce many of these! I listened to videos and tried my best, but you're right, I definitely could use some Polish lessons!
I will not go back to visit Melbourne again.I don't like Melbourne.There is nothing special to see there.The weather is pretty bad.I went to visit Great Ocean Road last week but it was cloudy and raining and even if I wore a hoodie I still felt very cold.I didn't proceed the trip, went back to Melbourne from Winchelsea.I prefer Sydney.I definitely will go back to visit Sydney again, and probably some other cities but NOT Melbourne.
I know! We are working professionals who like to maximise our holidays / annual leave. So it's always a difficult balance between how much we can see in the limited time we have! But of course, if we could have stayed longer in Melbourne (and Australia) we would have loved to!
I know amazing Gdansk quite well and this is some good advice. Just one note...the torture stuff is at the Upland gate, not Green gate. Sad but Kafebe is now closed down. A popular alternative exc is Malbork, one of the biggest castles in the world (20-30 mins by train).
Melbourne is nice and is not a wannabe Sydney or a miniature version of Sydney. It has its own character and history. But Melbourne gets far more rain than Sydney. The stopover in Singapore is a great idea. I've been visiting Singapore since the 1980s. I could gladly spend a week out of every month in Singapore. It's great for just walking and exploring.
@@conniep3164 I am. 40 days and counting. Cannot wait. You people are as miserable as the weather. Enjoy your overpopulated, road raging, overpriced, shty weather, bankrupt state.
My dad and one of his mates did it once, as two 16 year olds by themselves, over the top from the northern side to the southern side, for no cost - that was in 1932, just after it was opened, and long before its ends were as secured as they are now. They were greeted by two Police officers at the far end, who assertively suggested it wasn't a good idea, but took no further action. I've lived in more populous western suburbs of Sydney most of my life, rarely visit the harbour ('tinsel town') end of the city, have never done the bridge climb and never had the slightest urge. It's an activity requiring more dollars than sense - Thank you for your generous contribution to the economy.
Very beautiful, clean and great location to visite. Juste some local offices were worst, a woman fake catherine protheau and his men since Airport, hope no more such for next trip.
