Hi, I’m Alison.

(Sandboarding on Moreton Island, Australia, 2008) (my MS Paint skillz are too legit to quit)

This is my travel blog of travel things.

My head is always in the clouds. I have an awful habit of getting tattoos whenever I’m on the road (three and counting). Airplanes fascinate me, and yet I can’t sit through take-off without having my barf bag ready and waiting. Sydney is my favorite city, followed closely by Prague. Boston is my home. I love French people but they never want to give me a cigarette. My English and Irish accents are pretty decent, but my New Zealand one is rubbish. I once ate kangaroo wrapped inside sushi. I’ve been to a German rave, and they’re not all that great. Butchering Italian vocabulary on the daily is a hobby of mine. After a few beers, I’ll sing (or slur) to you La Marseillaise. I can confidently say that I am the worst surfer in the world. The most important thing I ever learned while traveling was at the train station in Rome. Maybe I’ll tell you what that was someday.

I’m just a goofy redheaded blogger who loves to travel and was bored with most of the blogs out there. Beers and Bananas is a place for me to:

• talk about travel news
• post pictures and music for travel inspiration
• give out advice from my different experiences abroad (I’m no expert, but I’ve seen a few things in my time)

You’ll like it here, trust.
