Australia -Sydney of Lights

Australia is my dream destination. I am sure we all have a place that we want to visit more than any other place in the world. Since my late teens, Australia has always been that place for me.

I began researching my big adventure and have never stopped. Whether it be swimming … Continue reading →

As a kid, I remember watching shows like Solid Gold or Tiny Talent Time cheering on my faves … Continue reading →
