The art of endless beginnings

Posted on January 1, 2020January 1, 2020by edwina

Hello! It’s been a while. 395 days, to be exact. It was around this time last year that I decided to go on a bit of a digital detox, to take a step back and re-evaluate my relationship with the internet. I rearranged the apps on my phone to put the important and helpful stuff […]

Sydney escape: Henry Head Walk, La Perouse

Posted on December 2, 2018December 3, 2018by edwina
Henry Heads Walk, La Perouse

Hands down, one of the best things about living in Sydney is the coastal walks. I sometimes can’t believe how lucky I am to live in a vibrant, young city that is fringed by dramatic sandstone cliffs and the wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean. There are so many places along the coastline where you […]

Ben’s walk, running and crazy families

Posted on November 20, 2018November 20, 2018by edwina

This year, I’ve started running again. The need to run hits me sporadically, but it usually only lasts a few weeks before I run out of steam – and then it’s another seven months before I feel the urge to start again. This time however, I’ve been running for almost three months, thanks to a […]

Concerning Hobbits

Posted on October 7, 2018October 7, 2018by edwina
Hobbiton, New Zealand

A definitive ranking of the best hobbit houses at Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata, New Zealand. Because I’m weird and nerdy and I don’t care if you don’t like it. Earlier this year Sam and I took eight days to explore some of New Zealand’s North Island. For such a short snap of time, it […]

48 hours in Canberra

Posted on August 7, 2018August 7, 2018by edwina
48 hours in Canberra, ACT

A collection of the best things to do during a weekend in Canberra, ACT. There’s a lot to love about Canberra. As the capital of Australia, it has a lot going for it in terms of art, culture, food and wine. Canberra is trendy. I’m not sure when this happened exactly, because childhood memories recall […]

Highlands escape: Fitzroy Falls

Posted on June 20, 2018by edwina
Highlands escape: Fitzroy Falls

Whoever said don’t go chasing waterfalls? For some reason, I think waterfalls and rain go together perfectly. It could be because they’re both wet (that’s the sort of simplicity with which my brain makes associations). Or, it could be because I hate having my weekend plans spoiled by the weather. And while the beach can […]

New Zealand: North Island Hitlist

Posted on April 16, 2018April 16, 2018by edwina
Rangitoto island: mysterious and untouched

How to spend eight days exploring the best bits of New Zealand’s North Island Like a lot of Aussies, an overseas trip to New Zealand has been on my hitlist for a long time. The allure of taking a short, three-hour flight from Sydney to step out into a new country is hard to beat, […]

36 (unexpected) hours in Auckland, New Zealand

Posted on March 21, 2018by edwina
36 unexpected hours in Auckland, New Zealand

I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a thing for first lines in novels. I love the power and potential in that first sentence, how it tells you so much about the tone of the story but also tells you almost nothing, igniting a burning curiosity to know more. Some of my favourites: It […]

Peaks and troughs, and my Happiness Failsafe

Posted on March 11, 2018by edwina
Centennial Park, my Happiness Failsafe

February was a long month. That sounds counterintuitive, I know, because it’s actually the shortest month in the year. I can’t argue with those missing days on the calendar, I can only tell you how it feels to me. And it feels like it was a long month. The thing is, I live my life […]

Five things that surprised me at my first ever yoga retreat

Posted on February 2, 2018February 2, 2018by edwina
Five things that surprised me at my first ever yoga retreat

OK, I’ll admit: I’m a bit of a yoga novice. For the longest time, I thought yoga was just light stretching. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered how much I enjoy yoga, and the positive effect it has on my body and mind. So when my friend found a Groupon deal for a weekend […]
