Just came back from an amazing trip in Australian Outback, definitively a must, a unique experience that will last for ever in my memory!

If you are planning to go...I will suggest you take a walk in the "Valley of the Winds - Kata Tjuta - the 7km complete circuit, takes you down between the domes, through creek beds and away from everyone and everything, you will experience Eden on earth!

Paddington - the fashionable side of Sydney

Australia is mostly known for its amazing beaches and legendary landscapes! Which is all good in summer, but in winter that is just not enough, but fortunately enough Sydney has much more to offer than that!

Sydney vibrant suburbs have so so much to offer! And I ve decided to take you on tour inside my favourite suburbs...

My favourite is certainly Paddington or "Paddo" by locals with his amazing boutiques, its Victorian terraces and interesting museums such as the Australian Centre for Photography for example!

Among all this gorgeous shops my 3 favourites are

• Nelder Jones bridal shop: because the owner/designer is so lovely and the dresses are jus amazing!
• The corner shop: because their pieces are so unique! Enjoy their collection of hand-picked fashion from around the world!
• Ampersand Cafe & Bookstore: a charming second hand bookstore + great latte

But as you should know by now I am HUGE fan of markets, so my suggestion would be, that you visit Paddington on a Saturday when its markets it's own and I assure you you will not be disapointed; browse over 200 stands and find hunt for treasures....

Enjoy

On the Road Again - the wonderrful treasures of Manly Market

I am a globetrotter that Is no big news, If It was up to me I would just spend my entire life travelling!  But what really excites me when I first visit a city is the general atmosphere, the discovery of small things, the local life, and I could go on a and on…

My general motto could be: “ Be Local think Global”, like try to live as a local in every country, that is my dream !

That is why in this rubric “On the road again” I will try to talk about things that both a local and a tourist could enjoy and describe Sydney trough her liveliness, her Markets and Events.

Today we are going to talk about one of my favorite spots in Sydney: Manly and its markets.

Four years ago I had been accepted to come to Australia to do an intership in a Tour Operator, before caming I asked some of my friends who had already been to Sydney, wich was theyr favourite spot, and most of them all told me: Manly!

So on my firsth week end in Oz still with the jetlag I went to Manly, not only I was not deceived, but ehi how can you resist 18 ocean beaches, greate boutiques, surfers and cool people from all over the world!? The atmosphere is so relaxed, funky , yung and yet classy it is just the perfect place to be.
I love going to Manly on the week ends mainly because of its art and craft market, were I can alwas find some treaures: amazing paintings, handmade jewellery, greate black and white photos, and much more.The markets is on every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. And If you go there on a Satyrday morning you can always have a tour at the Farmers Market.

Thank you for reading,
