TheSydneysider's Biography

I was born and bred in Sydney. It’s my favourite city in the world and I know it like the back of my hand. I’ve travelled extensively in Oz and have lived in various locations around the globe, but I never stay away for very long. I’m a very passionate Sydneysider and still get a kick out of driving over the Bridge. For an international city, I think Sydney has done an amazing job retaining her natural beauty.

I live in-between Coogee and Maroubra beaches and work from home for an English editing company. Most afternoons I’ll be out and about walking my dog, The Minx, or snorkelling at one of my favourite bays. I spend a lot of time in or near the water, so my blogging tends to have a marine theme! Here are two things I love about living in Sydney: being able to stand at the end of my street and watch whales swim past; and being surprised by an unexpected, breathtaking view as I drive around a corner.
