Monthly Spending Summary: November ’13

December 4, 2013

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

Photo Of The Week: A Trip Into Nature

December 1, 2013

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

A Life Update: Jobs, Fun And Living In Sydney

November 28, 2013

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

Photo of The Week: Give Way To Blue Skies

November 24, 2013

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

Photo Of The Week: Sculpture By The Sea

November 10, 2013

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

Six Free Things To Do In Sydney

November 8, 2013

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: Skating Around Sydney

November 3, 2013

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

Monthly Spending Summary: October ’13

October 31, 2013

This is something new that I’m going to be doing at the end of every month – a summary of my monthly outgoings to give you an idea of how much this crazy travelling lifestyle really costs. When I first started travelling it was hard to find many examples or ideas of how much money … More Monthly Spending Summary: October ’13

From London to Australia, A Journey

October 9, 2013

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

Photo Of The Week: Sydney Is Our Oyster

October 6, 2013

I haven’t posted a photo of the week for a while so this one dates back to last Saturday when we went out to Opera Bar in Sydney (yes, P.S. I have finally arrived in Oz, more on that coming soon) with a few friends for some laughs and sunset drinks. It’s been a pretty … More Photo Of The Week: Sydney Is Our Oyster
