Fish Market in Sydney

We went to the Fish Market here in Sydney, the second largest fish market in the world. I am such a seafood fanatic, I could come here everyday. 
Fresh oysters - yum!










Our platter - grilled calamari (my favorite out of everything), BBQed octopus, shrimp, grilled white fish, fresh oysters, and scallops with fries & a seaweed salad.

Goodbye San Diego

I can't believe the day is finally here! I'm leaving the land of beautiful sunsets and heading west. Here is a few pictures of my last weekend. The beautiful weather makes it hard to leave home ☀

T-2 Days!

As I prepare to embark on the first leg of my journey, I feel blessed and grateful for having the chance to see the world. Without the emotional and financial support from my parents, this trip would only exist in the fantasyland I create during my sleepless nights. My parents planted the travel bug in me from the second I was born (I had seen more by the age of 5 than many people see in a lifetime), and it has since fully blossomed and taken on a life of its own. I am so thankful that they encourage me to explore this beautiful world. I am anxious and excited to visit new places, learn about their amazing cultures, and eat great food.

I whole-heartedly agree with St. Augustine when he said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” I am ready to soak in the next chapter of this world book, and I am using this blog as a platform to bring my friends & family along with me!
