Hi! We grew up on opposite ends of the United States in Texas and Ohio. Later in college, we met and got married in August of 2016. As poor newly weds and recent college grads, we moved to New York City to begin what we thought would be our long careers in finance. Only one year later, after accumulating over 2 million miles and points through travel hacking, we booked round-the-world business class tickets to over 40 countries for free. We quit our jobs, sold everything we owned, and began this once-in-a-lifetime adventure on August 27, 2018. Chad has always loved creating home videos to hold onto the memories we share while traveling, so we started this YouTube channel as a place to share our adventures with friends and family. We hope you'll join our journey to exciting countries and experiences around the world!

Sea Foam Villas Port Campbell | Where to Stay on the Great Ocean Road Victoria Australia
Sea Foam Villas in Port Campbell Victoria Australia is a 24 roomed, 3 star hotel right in the town of Port Campbell. If you for accommodation near the 12 Apostles (along the Great Ocean Road) this is in a fantastic location being less than a 15 minute drive. Other nearby attractions are the London Arch, Loch ard Gorge. Bay of Islands and Port Campbell discovery walk for beautiful views of the town. Check out the tourist office in town for more things to do along the Great Ocean Road.
Port Campbell is a small coastal town on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. As Sea Foam Villas is right in the central part of town it’s easy to walk not only to the beach area, but to some of the town’s restaurants and cafes. In the video I show a few places you can eat in Port Campbell. I also show how to get from Melbourne to Port Campbell.
Sea Foam Villas hav onsite free parking. The villas have a patio or balcony and cooking facilities. All accommodation offers a kitchenette or fully equipped kitchen. Each villa and apartment has a living area with a sofa and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Some accommodation offers a spa bath or bay views.
Rooms start from the Standard Villa, one bedroom villas, two bedroom villas and a 3 bedroom penthouse. With prices for the standard starting from around $155 and the penthouse for around $500. The room I booked was the 1 bedroom villa with bay view and that is what the review is based on. For the best rates at Sea Foam Villas have a look directly at the hotel’s own website or check out sites such as Trivago, TripAdvisor or HotelsCombined. I found generally the rates were all similar. On this trip I booked with Bookings.com.
On their website they state luxury accommodation on the Great Ocean Road, while the room I stayed in, I found it a bit of a stretch, it’s more of mid-market hotel. Overall I found the place OK, great location – easy walking distance to the beach and the main street of Port Campbell. I think it would suit a couple wanting to stay along the Great Ocean Road (the villa I had anyhow) for a weekender or possibly longer.
I have done a few other videos on where to stay on the Great Ocean road drive, so please check out my channel for more travel reviews of these hotels.

Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch
The Official start of the Great Ocean Road, The Great Ocean Road Arch.
Twelve apostles great ocean road Victoria Australia.
The famous 12 Apostles, magnificent rock stacks that rise up majestically from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's dramatic coastline.
These cliffs created by constant erosion of the limestone cliffs of the mainland beginning 10–20 million years ago, the stormy Southern Ocean and blasting winds gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming caves in the cliffs.
The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 Km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction in the region.

5 Top-Rated Day Trips from Cardiff, Wales | the United Kingdom Day Tours Guide
5 Top-Rated Day Trips from Cardiff, UK
On the southern coast of Wales, Cardiff is the perfect place from which to explore the Welsh countryside. From here, you can access the country's two most important national parks, Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons, the latter less than an hour's drive through stunning scenery (while Snowdonia takes a little longer to access, it is also a must-visit). Other great day trips from Cardiff include exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline and its many pleasant towns, including Carmarthen, the legendary birthplace of Merlin, along with Swansea, one of the busiest cultural centers in the country. Also worth checking out are the many museums dedicated to Wales' industrial past, including the massive Rhondda coal works and the Museum of the Welsh Woolen Industry in Cardigan (and yes, Wales does have a lot of sheep!). Best of all, Wales is such a small country, it's easy to double-up on your day trips, hitting more than one great attraction each time you venture out. Here five day trips from Cardiff, Wales Europe.
1. Brecon Beacons National Park
2. Snowdonia National Park
