I didn’t appreciate the food in Australia when I studied abroad here. In fact, I didn’t like it all. I found most places we went out to dinner overpriced for small portions, and the food was underwhelming in general. I had a couple of memorable meals, but left Australia thinking it was not a countryContinue reading “Good Eats Australia”

Rules of Twitter: Are you following me?
A friend from the blogging world, Tim (aka @anotherguy) brought up an interesting topic related to Twitter this week. He tweeted “If I unfollowed everyone and instead put the people I follow into lists, how many of you would hate me forever?” I was surprised by this. I’ve had chats with Tim before online andContinue reading “Rules of Twitter: Are you following me?”
An Exercise for the Mind: 30 Days of Writing
My first challenge of giving up coffee last month has come to an end. I definitely missed it and was quite happy to order a flat white with brunch on the first of the month yesterday. While giving up coffee (and that morning caffeine) was good for my health, this month I decided to chooseContinue reading “An Exercise for the Mind: 30 Days of Writing”
See you Later Sydney: Living in a City of Goodbyes
A friend told me, not long after I moved here, that he has said goodbye to a lot of people in Sydney. After only being here for a relatively short time, I’ve already started to say my own farewells. I’m sure part of the problem will always be that I’m not from here. A lotContinue reading “See you Later Sydney: Living in a City of Goodbyes”
My 30 Day Challenge Blog Project
I’ve decided to take my blog in a new direction (no this isn’t an April Fools’ joke). I feel that I’ve been fairly professional up until this point. I’ve mentioned before that this blog is my online home. My CV and portfolio are here. I list this blog on my LinkedIn account. That professional part ofContinue reading “My 30 Day Challenge Blog Project”
Lessons in Public Transport
What I’ve learned in seven months of not having my car… 1. I really miss driving. I miss both the convenience of having a car and the actual act of driving around. I find it relaxing. I keep thinking about getting a car so I can have my freedom back. 2. Despite my whining, publicContinue reading “Lessons in Public Transport”
Who Do You Blog For?
I used to think the answer to the question, “who do you blog for?” was an easy one. I’ve always blogged for others. I created a Xanga in middle school and wrote about jokes, music and posted photos my friends would like. I started my current blog at university knowing it was a way toContinue reading “Who Do You Blog For?”
Welcome 2011: What’s Next?
I know that 2010 was a big year for me. I graduated university, moved away from home (far away from home) and started a new job in Sydney. It was a lot of life changes that seemed to happen rather quickly. Now sitting here and reflecting on New Year’s Eve, I can’t get the questionContinue reading “Welcome 2011: What’s Next?”
Sipping on some Coffee Culture: Australian Edition
“Make your coffee at home to save money.” That’s one thing my mom kept reminding me before I moved abroad. Be smart and save money in little ways. A cup of coffee might seem like a small cost but when you add it up over weeks and months it adds up. A good idea butContinue reading “Sipping on some Coffee Culture: Australian Edition”
Two Months In: An Update for Home
Two months have flown by. I realize I’ve been slacking with updates home and it’s tough to keep up with answering emails to people I care about. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m geographically distant, there is a 14 hour time difference or if it’s just the fact I’m still finding my day toContinue reading “Two Months In: An Update for Home”
