A year today

hello Sydney...one of themtime is flyingHi everyone, It is a year today that I landed in Sydney, packed with nothing more than 23kg. How light it felt to sort of start from scratch but also how nervous I was to know that many things I would miss are far away. A year -- How can a year go by so fast is what I am asking myself.I remember walking through the streets of Sydney, trying to make a new friend with this city which should be my new home. I would compare so many...
