sydney cheat sheet
We’ve all used one in school and if you say you haven’t, then you’re lying! You know, that tiny piece of paper with the impossibly hard to read small font – yet you’ve managed to fit a textbook chapter’s worth of information on there. So I’ve decided to take that concept and apply it here…
the third largest fish market in the world
Sure, it’s no Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, but it’s still pretty impressive. There are so many options to choose from. Raw or cooked? Western rock lobster or Tasmanian lobster? Blue swimmer crabs or mud crabs? Balmain bugs or Moreton Bay bugs? I could go on but I think you get the picture. Every type…
5 spots to get the best view of the sydney opera house
I’ll start with what you might think would be the obvious choice (but surprisingly, it isn’t even the best seat in the house!) Sydney Opera House – construction on this performing arts center started in 1958 and opened 15 years later in 1973. They host all types of events, such as plays, ballets, concerts, and…
you wouldn’t be a true tourist if you didn’t visit bondi beach
While my family and friends back home in NYC were busy digging their cars out from under mounds of snow, I was busy digging my feet into mounds of sand. I was laying on a beach somewhere in the southern hemisphere. Bondi Beach, to be exact. (which by the way, is pronounced ‘bond-eye’.) If you…
lunch with a view
I don’t normally write about food places on this blog. Yes, food is a huge part of the whole travel experience but that’s what my Yelp page is for. I like to keep things separate. That, and it’s just too many details for me to keep up with. There is too much information for me…
(really) long walks on the beach
If you’re not quite ready to commit to the 6 km walk (or 3.73 miles) from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, Bondi to Tamarama Beach is a great way to get a little preview of the coast. If you do decide to do the entire walk, it’ll take about two hours. The path itself is relatively…
there’s more to sydney than the opera house
Of course, that has to be on your to-do list, and you’ll want to check out the best views, but you still want to check out what the rest of the city has to offer, right? Sydney Observatory – is a museum where you can learn about astronomy. By night, you can go stargazing and…
how to get the best view of the sydney skyline
Get yourself onto a ferry! But not just any ferry. The Manly Ferry. It happens to give you one of the best views of the entire Sydney skyline. With this ferry ride, you get an unobstructed view of the opera house from three different angles. Plus, you won’t have to deal with all of the (other)…
it’s not all about bondi
I wonder how all of the other beaches feel, living in the shadow of Bondi. Everyone has heard of Bondi, and makes it a point to take the trip there when they visit Sydney. Which, don’t get me wrong – you should definitely visit Bondi. It’s great! But yet, here all of these other Sydney…

flying singapore airlines
Singapore Airlines is one of the top airlines in the world – that is, according to every article you can click on Google. And I don’t disagree. This is one of the best flights (if not the best) I’ve ever been on. I highly recommend you download the app before you fly because you’ll get…

12 things i learned in the 6 days i spent in the maldives
We spent 5 nights and 6 days at Mercure Kooddoo on Kooddoo Island, and about 1.5 days in Malé, the capital city. We had trouble picking an island at first because everything was ridiculously expensive. The deciding factor was that we found a TravelZoo deal for an overwater villa, with a private pool, mini bar,…
