TRAVEL TO OCEANIA…

I spent a month touring South Australia and many New Zealand highlights back in early 2013. The time spent here was some of the best travel time I’ve had ever. From vineyards to beaches to postcard cityscapes, I’ve discovered plenty of worthwhile places to explore in this part of the world. Since then I had the chance to housesit in Australia, a country with loads of housesitting opportunities.

OCEANIA AT-A-GLANCE

Oceania (UK /ˌoʊʃɪˈɑːniə, ˌoʊsɪ–/^[1] or US /ˌoʊʃiːˈæniə/),^[2] also known as Oceanica,^[3] is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean.^[4] Opinions of what constitutes Oceania range from its three subregions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia^[5] to, more broadly, the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago.^[6] The term is often used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands^{[7][8][9][10]} or biogeographically as a synonym for either the Australasian ecozone (Wallacea and Australasia) or the Pacific ecozone (Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia apart either from New Zealand^[11] or from mainland New Guinea).^[12]
