Ah, Australia — I’ve been hearing stories about this place for as long as I can remember. The fascinating land down under (…).

It was only a matter of time before I made it there. As a matter of fact, I had already attempted two trips to Australia, but there was always something getting in the way — my health failing at the wrong moment or something else taking priority. Finally, this year, with no excuses left, I embarked on an almost two-month-long journey through the land down under, starting with the city I had heard and knew the most about: Sydney!
