Why do you love your city?
Sydney, a city I adore for its pristine beaches offering leisurely strolls, sunbathing, surfing, and refreshing swims. Enchanting gardens line the way to exceptional museums and art galleries, while the diverse food scene, from street eats to fine dining, never fails to impress. Sydney's fitness culture and outdoor opportunities, like coastal walks with breathtaking ocean views, promote a healthy lifestyle.
Describe your ideal Saturday in Sydney
I like to indulge in a bit of extra sleep before starting my day with a workout. Breakfast is often enjoyed out since having someone cook for me is an absolute treat and coffee is a must. Most days, I'll venture to the beach with friends, take a refreshing swim, and soak up the sun. Around 4pm, we typically pack up and I head home for a shower, then decide between a cozy movie night or simply unwinding and relaxing.

What is your favorite neighbourhood?
The street of my childhood, where my father and pop constructed our family home, it holds a special place in my heart. It was a magnificent house perched atop a hill, overlooking a breathtaking natural forest and offering glimpses of the ocean. My siblings and I had the most incredible childhood here.
Were to stay?
For a city staycation, the Park Hyatt takes the spotlight, perched on the edge of Sydney Harbour with front-row seats to the iconic Opera House.
Were to get the best coffee
The Quick Brown Fox is a delightful corner cottage nestled in Pyrmont Sydney. Dating back to the 1800s. Beyond its exceptional coffee and divine food, it immerses you in history. With its original exposed timber beams and preserved fireplaces resonate with stories of the past, creating a unique atmosphere as you sip your coffee.
Were to eat and drink
Here are my top three must-try restaurants in Sydney: Le Foote: Placed in the historic and heritage-listed setting of The Rocks, Le Foote is a unique blend of a Parisian wine bar and a Mediterranean Grill, offering a distinct dining experience. Shell House: This multifaceted venue host various dining options, from the European bistro Menzies on the ground floor to the luxurious Sky Bar on the rooftop offering panoramic city views and the classic cocktail bar known as the clocktower. Bar Copains: A relaxed and enjoyable dining spot that lives up to its name, with "Copains" being French for friends. It's the perfect place to share a tapas-style meal with your closest friends.
