An evening stroll at Bondi Beach concluded one bli An evening stroll at Bondi Beach concluded one blissful month in Australia...my almost home. Ian and I didn't just come to this beautiful country for tourism. We also visited to scope out potential postdoctoral research jobs for him, one in Phoenix and the other in Perth. While Ian met with researchers and toured labs, I poked around the cities to assess how I would feel about living and working there for a couple of years. I pictured nights out at Malaysian restaurants, weekends spent at dreamy beaches, weekdays in an office with the friendliest people on Earth and diving vacations in Indonesia and the South Pacific. I concluded that despite the yawning distance between home and Australia, living there would be a dream. Even though those labs weren't a good fit for Ian, I still long to return—whether it's for a couple of weeks or a couple of years. We'll be back!

Ask any non-Aussie what they associate with Sydney Ask any non-Aussie what they associate with Sydney and they'll probably say: the beach. The harbour. The opera house. Surfers. Tans. Sydney is definitely all of those things. But it's also this: Breweries inside crumbling historical brick buildings. Tattooed, mustachioed fixie riders. Avo toast cafes in converted motorcycle repair shops. Street art adorning the facades of quirky thrift shops. Newtown, a Sydney neighborhood that's miles from any beach, is one of many inland areas where you'll find an offbeat alternative culture similar to that of Bed-Stuy or Southeast Portland. We loved basing ourselves here not just because it's a big transit hub, but also because it offered endless cool nightlife, bookstore and restaurant options. Even though I'm a beach girl at heart, I loved seeing this less-touristed side of Sydney, where we were surrounded by university students, creative professionals and the sorts of chill young parents who bring their babies with them when they go brewery-hopping down in Sydenham. In case you're headed to Sydney's inner west anytime soon, here were of my nearby faves: @mapo_gelato, @younghenrys craft brewery, @elizabethsbookshop (got a lot of holiday shopping done there!), @asiki.eco (ditto), @reunionstore.co and @theerkohotel—a pub AND our lodgings for the week. #sydney #sydneyeats #innerwest #innerwestsydney #newtownsydney #sydenham #innerwestisbest #sydneyinnerwest #sydneydrinks #sydneypubs #sydneyfoodie #australia #nsw

Here’s your itinerary for the perfect day in the Here’s your itinerary for the perfect day in the idyllic beach suburb of Manly, where I’ll forever dream about living someday!

Step 1: Take the 20-minute @transdevferriessyd from Circular Quay to Manly Step 2: Rent e-bikes from @manlybikes Step 3: Cruise up a crazy steep hill to Sydney Harbour National Park, home to a historical quarantine station where immigrants were once held when they arrived in the city. Explore trails leading to an old cemetery with epic views and a “hanging swamp.” Step 4: Make your way downhill toward Manly Beach, stopping along the multi-use path to watch the surfers—there’s some seriously impressive talent out on those waves. Step 5: Grab a nourishing, colorful lunch at @dolceterramanly, where you choose your own portion size (XL for me, thanks) and pay by the kilo. Step 6: Explore the Queenscliff Rock Pool and the Manly Wormhole, a cave that takes you to a great overlook of the beach. Step 7: Turn in the bikes and keep exploring by foot. Grab a coffee at @marketlanemanly, browse the stacks at Desire Books and grab some surf shop merch at @manlylongboardco. Admire the colorful building facades on The Corso. Head south on Marine Parade toward Fairy Bower Sea Pool, one of Sydney’s most picturesque rock pools. Step 8: Close out the day with a brew at @4pinesmanly, then hop back on the ferry to catch the sunset from the water. #manly #manlybeach #sydney #sydneyharbournationalpark #qstation #northhead #surf #surfing #ebike #bikesydney
