In Search of a Life Less Ordinary
http://www.insearchofalifelessordinary.com/
In Search of a Life Less Ordinary follows my journey as I went in search of a different way of living to the hum drum 9-5 routine of my previous life in the UK.
Having lived in Canada by mountains and snow and currently living in Sydney by the ocean, the blog features regular posts on expatriate life, Sydney events and activities, daily life experiences, food and books, and the adventures and highlights of living as an expat in Australia.
