Flavour Of The Month (FOTM) is our nod to old-school blogging days. We’re sharing a taste – a ‘flavour’ if you will – of what’s happened in the month just gone.
Why do we do this?
There are a few reasons actually. First and foremost, we like to be able to google our lives. All too often, Christina has asked me when we did something and all I’ve had to do is search Mr & Mrs.
But we also love writing about things that either don’t really fit anywhere else or that isn’t quite a big enough story to have its own stand-alone article.
Best of all, we love sharing important moments of our lives here, so you get a real flavour of what’s happening with us in these posts.
Winter’s long fingers seem to be stretching out indefinitely around the city’s throat. It doesn’t feel like Sydney will ever be warm again! So I decided to use this photo as our title shot to remind you what Sydney does have blue skies. It might not feel like it a the moment – especially with … Read more
Thailand is such a wonderful destination. Whether you’re here to work, to learn or to relax, this is one of those rare places with the capacity for all of it. Christina and I have been lucky enough this trip to do all three. Here’s what we got up to in the past week; a convention … Read more
We’re about to head off on our next trip – to beautiful Thailand. This is much more work related than the recent monster itinerary we just finished though. We’re going to a – the travel writers’ convention. To make sure we don’t miss Sydney too much while we’re away though, we’ve smashed a few of … Read more
It’s rare these days that a pub reopens as a pub, but here’s proof that miracles do happen. Instead of offices, a private home or – even worse – a gym or massage place, the Exchange Hotel, Balmain has come back to life and continued its 130+ year role. It’s been a busy week for … Read more
Coming home after a long trip – or even a 2-week holiday – can feel strange and alienating. Your home doesn’t feel quite as you remembered it, you’re tired from travelling back and all you can do is think about being back where you just left. Here’s what we did after our 3-month journey recently. … Read more
I love photography because of the memories it captures. But when those photos just remain on your hard drive, it’s easy to forget them. Looking back over the photographs we’ve taken over the past three months during our travels, my mind fills with the sights and memories of all that we’ve done. One of the … Read more
Croatia has become a real hotspot for tourism in recent years. Its dramatic coastline, crystal waters and a relatively cheap economy has pushed Croatia to be one of the most popular countries to visit in Europe. In spite of that though, Croatia is still comparatively undiscovered. Here’s what to expect. Christina and I have been … Read more
With all the politics, its unique, fascinating history and incredible architecture, it’s easy to forget that Cuba is a Caribbean island. Outside its cities and piped round its stunning countryside are some of the most exquisite beaches in the world. On our journey through Cuba, we’ve taken a bit of time out to relax and … Read more
Cuba has undergone enormous change and development over the past few years. Supercharged evolution following decades of barely any progress threatens to throw the country out of whack. The question is are these changes for the better or the worse? Our return after 4 of Cuba’s most important years since the revolution shows us changes … Read more
As we move through the gears on our trip and the pace quickens, we find ourselves whisked along by our own itinerary. It feels like we’ve only just arrived in San Diego before we’re repacking again for the next stage of our journey. Where are we going next? We’re heading north again all the way east … Read more
