AUSTRALIA ATLAS
Of its Animalia.
Located in the Australasia Region, Australia is home to incomparable indigenous miscellany. With a long Pacific, Antarctic, and Indian coastline together with a large and curious land (from desert to salt marshes), it isn’t only about its history, but its wildlife. An incomparable spot to explore the traces of Aborigines while chancing on its unique Animalia.

Words that travel through times, places, and cultures, are words that open up new worlds.
Choose yours.
Australia by expectation. .
If you are wondering what the best time to visit Europe is, practically any time is good! In summer, you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, and in winter, the white peaks of the Alps. In spring, you can admire the flowering fields of French Provence, and in autumn, you can enjoy roasted chestnuts almost anywhere. Where do you want to start?
Once you know when you’ll travel, you need to decide on the best way to roam around Europe! This is probably the hardest question about Europe… As Europeans, we are fortunate to enjoy freedom of movement, mostly all around the continent. This has allowed us to travel in a variety of vehicles that turned each experience into an adventure… But, we’re pretty sure that the best option for every traveler is the train! Relatively fast and connects almost the entire continent!
Our recommendation, based on our preferences, is Northern Europe for scenery and a vanlife experience, Southern Europe for ancient civilizations and maybe a sealife experience, Eastern Europe for hidden history and loads of road trips, and Western Europe for the alternative and always by train.
THE HISTORIC AUSTRALIA
Australia by exchange.
So, once you have figured out when and how to explore this continent, it’s time to talk about its lingoes and the cultural exchange they offer. Even if there are over 200 languages spoken in the continent, only 24 are recognized as official languages of the European Union. Anyway, as long as you speak English, you’ll easily communicate around, as multilingualism rules in Europe and most Europeans have English as a second language.
Another detail to keep in mind when traveling anywhere is the currency and its exchange. The currency in Australia is the Australian Dollar (AUD). Below, you’ll find a quick guide for the equivalences in some currencies from around the world (Euro EUR, Swiss Frank CHF, Pound Sterlin GBP, Swedish Krone SEK, United States Dollar USD, Australian Dollar AUD, South African Rand ZAR, and Japanese Yen JPY):
1 EUR equals 1,66 AUD | 1 CHF equals 1,75 AUD | 1 GBP equals 1,93 AUD | 1 SEK equals 0,14 AUD
1 USD equals 1,58 AUD | 1 AUD equals 1 AUD | 1 ZAR equals 0,08 AUD | 1 JPY equals 0,01 AUD
Our recommendation, based on our experience, is to always do a little research on the local language and the basic words and phrases you should note and to make sure you exchange the money in advance or have the proper tool to change when needed, as bringing cash with you at all times is always helpful.
THE AUTRALIAN METROPOLIS
Beware of details.
The most important details you should think of when traveling never change. So, if you want to be ahead of any problem that you could encounter while abroad, check these 6 unforgettables:
· Safety before all: Despite its bad reputation, Albania showed us it is a safe country to travel to. While traveling in Southern Albania, we were lucky enough to meet a native guide who helped us immerse ourselves in the local culture and daily life, and we can assure you that we never felt threatened or unsafe. Anyway, as we always say, you should always beware of the place you are at and keep an eye on the circumstances.
· Credit Cards & ATMs: The first thing you should consider if your usual currency isn’t Lëke (LEK), is to use an app (you can contact us for further info) that allows you to exchange and withdraw money from the ATMs at the minimum rate. If this isn’t an option, make sure to exchange either at your bank or as soon as you arrive in Albania, and always bring some cash with you, as not every place allows you to pay by card. If possible, it’d be wise to use your credit card whenever you get the chance.
· Type of plug: In Albania, the plugs are type C and F, with a standard voltage of 230V and a standard frequency of 50Hz. We recommend buying a universal adapter (make sure it has surge protection).
· Documents: The required documents to travel to Albania will depend on your home country, but we always recommend bringing your ID, driver’s license, and passport with you, as you never know what can happen and if you’ll need them! Also, make sure to have a scanned copy of every important document on your phone and a printed copy on your luggage.
· Insurance: First, call your bank and ask them what your credit card or account type covers when purchasing a trip with it. You have already done this but want to take out travel insurance that covers every aspect of your trip? Then keep in mind that the insurance type and price will depend on the place and length of the trip, the people traveling and their age, and the activities you plan to do.
· Medical prevention: It is necessary to check the medical terms of the country or even continent you are traveling to upon entrance. Depending on your home country, you may be required to fulfill some medical terms such as vaccines or tests. Also, make sure you bring a basic first aid kit and prescription medications you may need (every medication must come with the relevant prescription and instructions).
