Our trip to Adelaide this last week couldn’t have come at a better time. Christina and I really love travelling through Australia. After all, there’s nothing quite like playing tourist in your own backyard. But the terrifying bushfires that have been happening here recently have made put so much of what we love in terrible danger. … Read more
Happy New Year – and happy new decade too! It’s still sinking in that it’s finally 2020, a year that felt as much like a sci-fi date as 2000 did in the ’90s if that makes any sense. For a bit more perspective – as if we need any more of that – a friend … Read more
So this is it! Our last Weekly Edition of 2019. Probably. There’s an outside chance we’ll have more to tell you after Christmas and before New Year’s Eve. Let’s see!

Smoke blankets Sydney, and each morning, the sun shines a ghostly glow through the palls, giving a haunting … Read more
As you probably know, it’s not like us to sit still for too long, but last month was kind of ridiculous. With so much going on – travelling to South Africa and then to the USA, we’ve had so much to tell you about. We’re back in Sydney now though and this Weekly Edition is … Read more
It’s been an incredible trip to the States, but like all good things, it is coming to an end. For the last leg of this journey, we’re back in sunny San Diego to see our friends and to get one last good hit of Mexican food before we head back to Sydney. Our time in … Read more
I’ve been Jonesing to get back to Chicago since 2013 – when we were there last. It feels like a lifetime ago. Finally, we’ve managed to organise ourselves enough to get back to the Windy City and I’m seriously excited. Last time we were here, Christina was at a conference, leaving me to my own … Read more
