Notes from a Winter Weekend in Melbourne

My boyfriend and I almost spent the weekend in Sydney, but I’m so glad we decided to stay in Melbourne instead. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve both been in town on the weekend and given that we don’t see much of each other during the week, I was really excited to have a relaxing weekend wandering around Melbourne.

Notes from a Winter Weekend in Melbourne

I had a particularly busy weekend this weekend, and despite feeling a bit like I just burned through money all weekend long it was nice to bounce from one activity to another, giving me plenty of excuses to get out of the house.

A couple of weekends ago, we went for a big walk through … Continue reading Autumn in Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens

One Year of Living in Melbourne in Photos

I can’t believe it has already been a year since I boarded a flight out of Brisbane without a return ticket. I’m celebrating one year of living in Melbourne this week, and I can’t believe how much has happened already. Moving has been one of the most challenging but most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I’ve made wonderful new friends, have had a year full … Continue reading One Year of Living in Melbourne in Photos
