Tales and tribulations from my year spent living and working down under!
November’s been a pretty static one, and by that I mean that I’ve really just been enjoying life in Sydney, living like a city girl again. I’ve been doing a lot of blogging and trying to get work as a freelance writer (sometimes successfully and sometimes not so), as well as a couple of epic … More Monthly Spending Summary: November ’13
This week has been a pretty awesome one. Yes it rained for a few days, but then the sun finally came out (can you tell the weather’s been pretty unpredictable?) and I spent a day looking after the cutest baby ever, a day on Bondi beach, had an awesome night out with friends in the … More Photo Of The Week: A Trip Into Nature
I’ve been living in Sydney for a little over 2 months and to be honest it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. I can’t quite believe it’s almost December already! We came here fresh from camp, full of excitement for another summer and a year of new friends, new jobs and new experiences. And that’s … More A Life Update: Jobs, Fun And Living In Sydney
This week’s been a bit of a disappointing one, but only due to the weather. It has rained and stormed for the best (or worst) part of 7 days, turning Sydney into a wet, grey and drab city to live in. It’s almost been like being back in London at this time of year. And … More Photo of The Week: Give Way To Blue Skies
This week I took a trip with some friends to Bondi Beach to stroll along the coastal path that runs all the way between Bondi and Coogee beaches, about a 3 and a half hour walk (or 8.8km). Nicknamed ‘Sydney’s Best Coastal Walk‘ for a reason, this is a great way to spend a morning, … More Photo Of The Week: Sculpture By The Sea
After leaving the city almost two years ago, I wrote a post about the ‘top 10 things to do in Sydney‘ and while I still absolutely stand by that list, I’ve come to realise that living here long term (as I am now doing) is pretty freakin’ expensive. Every day I am looking for new … More Six Free Things To Do In Sydney
Photo of the week is back! I’ve been pretty slack about getting my photos up in the last couple of weeks, but expect that to change in the coming months. There will be a new photo every Sunday illustrating the highlight of that week. And so to now. I’m writing this sitting is the blissful … More Photo Of The Week: Skating Around Sydney
I’ve been away from England for a little less than 5 months now it’s got me thinking about all the things I miss (and don’t miss) about home. There are definitely certain comforts that come with sticking around at home, but on the other hand, sometimes home is the last place you want to be. … More 5 Things I Miss About Home (And 5 things I don’t miss)
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently, about how this long term travelling lifestyle can affect all the old friendships you’ve left behind at home. Friends who still mean the absolute world to you and who probably know you better than anyone else – they are the ones you grew up with, through primary … More Does Travelling Mean The End For Old Friendships?
It’s been weeks, months and years of planning, hoping, wishing and dreaming, but I finally did it. I finally boarded that plane and moved to Australia! And what a crazy journey it’s been. This all began way back in December 2011 when, pretty much just days after arriving in this gloriously sunny country, I’d decided … More From London to Australia, A Journey
