Paula is from Spain. She loves her family and has a special bond with her mother. The family loves to spend time together and make amazing food. She also loves to do sports especially tennis which she will play while here in Australia. Paula studied to be a sports teacher and has been working for a year in a school but realised that she wanted to travel. She is in Australia to study English but is also very excited about seeing this beautiful country.
Florence is from Switzerland. She’s had lots of experience in the travel and tourism industry. She was always fascinated about getting to know other cultures and dreamt of foreign places. She then fell in love with surfing and the game changed. Florence spent the next 6 months in Portugal and enjoyed spending most days at the beach. She’s also a big fan of swimming, a passion she shares with her sister.

Once a month in Byron Bay close to the beach there is a market where you can find whatever you want.
The prices are quite high, but you can be sure that the quality of the product is high as well. Silver earrings made by hand, ceramics cups for coffee, food from all over the world, organic fabric clothes, and so on.
Every Saturday you can also find garage sales or people sitting on the street selling their second-hand clothes. If you are looking for a second-hand wetsuit, there you can find one for 5$!
Nobody is excluded in the Byron Bay community, everybody can do something useful and feel part of this big family.

WHITES BEACH – Gabriel M Pacheco
I went to Whites Beach in Byron Bay a few weeks ago, and it was one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen.
I was with 3 friends of mine, with one surfboard and it was such a beautiful day. We parked the car at Broken Heads and took the trail to the beach.
The day was clean and the water was beautiful, the surf was good, and the beach was deserted.
The beaches in Byron are already beautiful but this one was stunning!
We drank some beers and surfed a bit, it was one of the best days of my trip here in Australia.
I would recommend it to anyone who likes beaches with fewer people than the famous one for example.
Take some beers with you and have a beautiful day!
