Stoked about Sydney

Sydney, Australia

We visited Sydney for our first time over the New Year’s Eve break and we were simply blown away by the beauty, fun, excitement, and warm hospitality of the Aussies. We quite simply fell in love with Sydney.

As one of the most iconic cities of the world with her world-famous Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Bondi Beach and sparkling waters, Sydney is breathtakingly beautiful. And to ring in New Year’s Eve with Sydney’s amazing fireworks, was just a dream come true. We had our boat bobbing under the Harbour Bridge near the Opera House as we viewed the most spectacular fireworks in the world.

Of course, we did all the touristy stuff such as Opera House, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Bondi Beach, Rose Bay, as well as the Northern Beaches like Manly Beach, Freshwater, Palm Beach and more. As images speak louder than words, we highly recommend Sydney as the top destination to visit!

Chic Collection

This has to be one of my latest favorite book collections – Chic – published by Editions Didier Millet. Enough to entice you to travel all over the world, the Chic Collection is illustrated with stunning photography and written by local experts on all things chic in hotels, restaurants, spas, shops, art galleries, places of interest and culture. It is the definitive guide to travel mixed with the handsome look of a coffee table book. So far I have Malaysia Chic, Spa Chic Asia, and Eco Chic… don’t worry my collection will expand!

For fellow dreamers, I present you the Chic Collection in its entirety:
