Life on the brink.
Dear Asia
We’re coming back. So sorry it’s been so long. See you in Hong Kong, (maybe) Macau, Korea, and Indonesia. We’ll be there for a little bit of business and a little bit of pleasure. We expect it to me some kind of ride. Be there soon.

June 1, 2014
People who move to Korea for a job opportunity go for a variety of reasons. For many, a major reason is money! Saving or paying off debt. Some people are successful in this, but just as many can’t seem to figure out how to go about the business of becoming more financially secure. Here’s a look into […]

Budgeting in Korea: The Lifestyle
May 25, 2014
Since returning to the US just over a year ago, a lot of people have shown some interest in the life we led while working in South Korea. We were able to do work that we loved, live well in our adopted home, travel often, and save enough money to pursue a teaching certification after we came back […]

We Eat: SparQling
May 11, 2014
One of our friends introduced us to SparQling Pizza and Grill on our last visit to Sydney. The food there is incredible and relatively affordable. They had a great menu with lots of options, and each of the dishes we sampled provided heaping portions of food. The chicken fungi is by far our favorite item on the menu. […]
We Eat: Taj Indian Sweets & Restaurant
May 6, 2014
Okay, seriously. Wow. One of our friends took us to this great Indian restaurant in Paramatta called Taj Indian. They have a MASSIVE menu, and it’s all vegetarian, so if you’re in the neighborhood and wanting some quality vegetarian Indian food this is definitely the place to go. We ordered the North and South Indian […]
We Eat: Norwest Fresh Seafoods
May 5, 2014
Whenever we’re in Sydney we ALWAYS have fried fish and chips. There’s not a lot of places that do this well in the city we live in (actually we haven’t found ANY restaurants that do this right), so we’re always happy to dive into the deliciousness in Sydney. Dinning out in Sydney can be pretty […]

We’ve been to the Australian Brewery every time we’ve visited Sydney and it’s never let us down. Ranging from pizza and pasta to ribs and fried fish, they have a nice variety of items.The food is fresh and made to order, and of course, as the name suggests, they have a wide variety of beers […]
We Eat: Desserts
May 3, 2014
Some of our favorite places to visit when we go to Australia are restaurants that cater exclusively in desserts. Yeah we said it! We love desserts. Here are some of the great dessert joints we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Max Brenner: This is a chocolatier. The tag line is “Chocolate By the Bald Man.” […]
We Eat: Kouzina Greco
March 2, 2014
We visited this lovely Greek restaurant Parramatta one evening. We were searching for a place that DIDN’T serve Italian (because after Jamie’s Italian we didn’t think anything else could compete) or Lebanese (because we’d gorged on Lebanese food on a couple of occasions already). It took a few minutes, but we finally ended up at […]
A Year Gone By…
February 27, 2014
Wow, it’s been a year already since we left Korea to return to the United States. It’s definitely had it’s up and downs…with a lot of the ups having to do with more traveling and a lot of the downs with the frustration of job hunting. At first, we had some trouble readjusting to life […]
