At the age of 24 I left Canberra to move to the big city. Or more accurately, Sydney. When I first moved up, it was like being on holiday. There was so much to see and do. Beaches to frolic in, bars to visit, food to try, festivals to experience. Sydney has it all and after 6 years in one of the worlds most beautiful cities I am still finding and discovering amazing things to do. If you are travelling to Sydney make sure you check out my resources on Eating Out in Sydney, Recipes for Eating in Sydney, Sydney Walks, Sydney Adventures and for a sneaky Sydney Weekend Escape.
