Sydney | During the Week and a Walk to Manly

DURING THE WEEK

WALK TO MANLY

On one of the weekends I thought I would make it an active one - and this included doing a seriously long walk (was not expecting it to be this long) to Manly beach. I started at about 11am and arrived there near sunset. I also did this alone - funnily enough I met some people along the way. You get to walk along the bay, through the bush, on rocks - everything really. But I can't tell you how much I recommend it. I was able to Sydney in a whole new light. Go on a nice day with a friend - and trust me, it will be a day well spent.

During the week while I was in Sydney, I was working. Which was honestly so much fun. I am so thankful for the people I met and the things I got to see and do. I am grateful for all the individuals who helped me along the way.

My usual routine in the morning was going for a run, drinking A LOT of water then making myself some breakfast. It was usually cold (not Melbourne cold though) - so a nice warm turtle neck did the trick. For transport I caught the bus to the ferry and then on the train. I didn't even care about all the modes of transport I had to take to get to work - because I honestly loved what I was doing and was excited every step of the way.

The time in Sydney taught me a lot of things - and one of them is that I just love working hard. I don't know why, because at the end of the day, when I would have to take all the same form of transportation home, I would still walk home feeling great. Ready for bed - but great.

I think it's very important to love what you do - but also make the best of every opportunity that is shown to you. Take it. If it feels right, do it. Just do it.

That's my wise words for the day.

Sydney | Being a Tourist

Bloom - Healthy Food Co.

So, as a true tourist, I went and saw some of the iconic sites. I felt like this was a must - as the last time I saw them was when I was 7 years old. I have to say, they are truly breathtaking.

Each weekend, I would make sure I adventure somewhere new around Sydney. This was the second weekend - and I thought that I just needed to see what people travel around the world to see. I took the photographs of the Harbour bridge and Opera House from the Museum of Contemporary Art. I highly recommend visiting this gallery - as not only is the art extremely cool, but so is the gift shop and the cafe.

I then made my way to the markets - which were okay… Yes, they were a little touristy. But I found myself visiting little galleries surrounding them. So I put into my mind that the week after I would be going and finding some of Sydney's infamous markets!

My latest obsession (food obsession) is Pancakes - but 'healthy' organic pancakes. I have never been a huge pancake person, but for some reason I am loving Buckwheat pancakes. Bizarre - but it's happening. So I highly recommend Bloom - The Healthy Food Co. - as these were literally the best I have ever had.

Although, I am firmly back in Melbourne (for right now…) - I look back at being in Sydney and miss it a little. I also want to share it a little! One more post to come from Sydney.

COMING SOON

There is a change coming. It's in the air - can't you just feel it?

I have a LOT to tell you and even more to show you. 

I am recreating, remaking and readjusting.
