Why Run?

It’s hard, it makes us get out of our cozy beds in the morning, and it hurts– but despite all that, so many people run. Some people might run to lose weight, to train for a race, to spend time with a friend, or to get fit for free. These all are all great reasons, but this past year, […]

Anna Down Under

Mom and Dad, you should be so proud of us. Two sisters, in a car for 24 hours over seven days… and we did not kill each other! I am happy to say that we have come a long way from the days of our bickering road trips! Anna Down Under: New Zealand I am so thankful […]

Best Mates and My Birthday

What do you do when your best mate visits you in Australia… for three days?? You JAM-PACK those three days with Sydney’s best and beautiful places! Autumn may have thought she was just coming to visit Mo and me, but she got a whole lot more. She got to experience Australia. I am so grateful that this blog has allowed friends […]

Finding Nemo

Mo and I just got back from our latest travel adventure to the Great Barrier Reef and we couldn’t have picked a better time. While Sydney got hit with a major rainstorm, we were soaking up the sun in Cairns! Since arriving in Sydney in January, we have travelled to the Blue Mountains, Uluru, Melbourne […]

Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road

1,500 miles in four days- that has got to be a new road trip record for Mo and I! Over Easter weekend, we took a trip to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road and decided to make a fun drive out of it. Overall, we were really happy with that deicion and we got to see so much […]

Slip, Slop, Slap

Slip on a shirt, slop on the sunscreen and slap on a hat. That’s exactly what Mo and I did this past weekend on our trip to Uluru! Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive rock formation located in the middle of the Australian Outback. Basically, it is in the middle of the desert! […]

Hanging Out in Sydney (pun intended)

It’s been a bit since I wrote my last update from our trip to the Blue Mountains! Mo and I have been continuing to take advantage of all that Sydney has to offer (especially the gelato) and have also been busy planning a few big trips we have coming up. In the next month we’ll be […]

Weekend Retreat to the Blue Mountains

Mo and I finally got some fresh mountain air this weekend! It’s amazing the things you take for granted when you don’t live in a city. Being able to breathe clean air and casually walk on a sidewalk are just two of those things! Living in Sydney has been a great experience, but it was nice […]

Wombats, Kangaroos and Koalas, Oh My!

Mo and I are 3 for 3 for going to the beach on the weekends and it’s a record we have no intention to break anytime soon! This weekend we decided to go to Coogee beach and it might just be my favorite so far! It wasn’t too crowded and the waves were huge, but not […]

Happy Straya Day, Mates!

A national holiday, three beaches, kangaroo for dinner and a job are a few of the things that have happened since my last Australia update! Mo is settling into his new job, I was out searching for one and we’ve been taking advantage of our nights and weekends to soak up everything Australia has to […]
