The best start to any adventure Down Under

Full of fun city

Sydney was my home in November and December of 2003. I have worked here before I started my venture into the rest of Australia. Sydney has been a great place to live! I really miss the city now. When you stay somewhere for two months, have a job and friends, and the good life... it is quite difficult to leave again. Well why didn't I stay longer you might ask? Well to start with Sydney wasn't all I wanted to see of Australia and since I only had 10 months away from home, I needed to pack my bags again in January 2004 and move on throughout the rest of the country. I will never forget Sydney though, it has a special place in my memory and maybe in the future if I have the chance I will move here, because it's among the best cities in the world.
So why is Sydney such a great city?

Sydney is the biggest city in Australia. A lot of people will say, but it's just a city. Yes it is, but still there is so much to do and so much to see that there is much more to it than most other Australian cities. If you like the outdoors Sydney is for you. If you like Museums, Sydney is the place for you. If you want to relax all day doing nothing and getting a tan too, Sydney has a lot of fantastic beaches and parks for a stress free day or two. And if you like shopping, Sydney is great for that too. In this page I hope to give you some tips of things to do in Sydney as well as to share some of my experiences that made my stay so memorable.
