By the time you read this, we will be gone. From Thailand, I mean! Wow. Sorry, that sounded a bit dramatic, didn’t it? We will be hurtling through the air at 500+mph and not looking forward at all to the impending winter we have to face in Sydney. Thailand and Malaysia really have shown their … Read more
And we’re off! Finally the day of departure has come and we’ve winged our way to South East Asia at last. It’s been an adventurous week for the both of us and while our poor hometown of Sydney soaks and gurgles under a terrible deluge that’s hit the east coast of Australia very hard, we’re … Read more
I honestly can’t believe it’s the end of May already. Even the weather only now seems to be coming to terms with it – this week’s been chilly in Sydney. Friends back home would laugh, shrug off their T-shirts and be glowing red in 5 minutes, but to my thinned out blood, 13°C is cold! … Read more
It’s weird to think that this will be our last week in the country for a couple of weeks! That’s right, we’re packing our bags and heading for the skies. And about time, right? It’s been a while since we’ve been overseas – especially for Mrs Romance – so we’re really really excited about June! … Read more
It’s been the best week this week. Apart from this amazing sunset, we’ve been busy celebrating birthdays (mine included), attending an excellent conference in Bondi, and exploring some of Sydney’s hidden spots and fun food festivals.

Every year for the past 7 years, Sydney’s streets and skyline have come alight with this beautiful, inspiring, interactive festival. Here are some of the must-see and must-do exhibits of Vivid 2016. Mrs Romance and I always have so much trouble deciding on what to go and see when Vivid Sydney’s on. This year, there … Read more
And here we are in May again! I’m starting to freak out a little bit if the truth be known. I was expecting to have had so much more done before now. It’s really taken a long time for this year to get up on its toes. Still, this month is looking good! We’ve got … Read more
It’s been a funny old week this week. Lots have happened – like the passing of music legend Prince, Donald Trump winning the NYC primaries, the Queen and Sir David Attenborough turning 90… it makes our week look a bit boring. But we’re still pretty happy the way it’s all going. With some exciting travel … Read more
Well it looks like the autumn is well under way finally. I don’t know about you but we’ve seen a marked change in the weather this week. The plus side to the chill factor is it’s spurred us on to make more travel plans to warmer places. Looks like a jaunt to SE Asia is … Read more
