Why do you love your city? 

There are numerous reasons I adore life in Sydney: The pristine beaches provide opportunities for leisurely strolls, sunbathing, surfing and refreshing swims. The city has enchanting gardens that are perfect for daily walks with the added bonus of exceptional museums and art galleries along the way. With a strong fitness culture and easy access to gyms and wellness centers, Sydney excels in promoting a healthy lifestyle. However, one of the city's true gems is its outdoor fitness opportunities. You can embark on picturesque coastal walks or runs, all while enjoying the fresh sea breeze and breathtaking ocean views. 

Describe your ideal Saturday in Sydney

Ilike 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?

If I ever feel like a staycation in the city the park hyatt is definitely the place to stay. Located on the very edge of Sydney Harbour with front-row seats to the world-famous 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.
