Get to know me

Hey there! I’m Andrea – the face behind La Vida Down Under.

When I moved to Australia in 2024 with my partner Louis, I was amazed at the beauty of the world around me. I decided to start sharing moments of what my new life looked like under @lavidadownunder! 🦘

What started as my personal account for friends and family slowly grew to become a community of likeminded adventurers and travel-seekers that love sharing and exploring the world. Fast forward to today, I still love sharing the beautiful places we visit here in Australia and beyond. I love to inspire people to make the most of their free time and get out and explore!

Join me and let’s discover together new adventures across the world, from coastal road trips and mountain hikes to serene moments in nature.

As we go along, I’ll document everything in this blog – honest travel guides, destinations I’ve loved and resources to help you plan your own adventures across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

Welcome — take your time, explore, and hopefully find a little inspiration to get out there and see more of the world 🌏✨
