About Perth Weekend

I’m Nadia, the face behind Perth Weekend

Part-time science teacher and full-time Perth enthusiast! I’ve lived in the Pilbara, Wheatbelt and Perth and have travelled all over Western Australia, from the South West to the Coral Coast.

I’m all about making the most of my weekends by exploring the best of Western Australia’s great outdoors – camping, beaches, fishing and hiking trails. When I’m done adventuring I’m all about rest and relaxation – exploring the best of Perth’s wellness scene. My mission is to share my discoveries, helping you have a great Perth weekend too!
