Sydney, Australia

You know what they say, the best things in life come in threes. And after traveling as a solo act for 50 days, we could not have been more excited for our sister to join us in Sydney. As the capital of New South Wales, Sydney is the largest city in Australia and is famous for its superb beaches, vibrant cultural scene and its cosmopolitan, international population. During our days exploring, we witnessed the magic of winter turning into spring where the botanic gardens started to bloom and everyone rushed outside at the first sign of a warm day.

While still a little chilly, we had a blast walking through little beach towns along Pacific Coast, bopping in-and-out of cool bars along the Darling Harbour and checking out the 360 degree views of Sydney from the top of the Harbor Bridge. We each had a different favorite part of trip, but all agreed that Sydney lived up to the hype, and we would definitely be back someday.
