I kicked off January 2023 in Melbourne at the Australian Open, where tennis balls became fashionistas, and the coffee was so good I even debated smuggling it home (just kidding!). I witnessed Novak Djokovic's triumph at the Tennis Open, cheering like a true Aussie. Then, Sydney beckoned with its glamorous skyline and Bondi Beach vibes! Picture this: the hottest men and women in their swimwear, trading boring office briefcases for surfboards, catching waves during lunch breaks or as soon as they punched out. It was a symphony of beach bodies and the ocean became the ultimate lunch break escape while the surfboards doubled as city chariots. In Sydney, the beach wasn't just a destination...it was a lifestyle.

Hey mama, big news! I dared to jump from the sky in Cairns-YOLO vibes all the way. When I landed, my heart was drumming like crazy, beating to the rhythm of pure excitement. Maybe that's the secret to staying forever young. Trick your body to think it's about to die! Oh did I mention my sky diving partner was hotter than my morning latte? Then came Noosa, a coastal gem surrounded by a national park that boasts lush mountains, pristine white sand beaches-a captivating blend of nature. Apart from the natural beauty, the town also offers the best in shopping, making it a harmonious fusion of outdoor splendour and retail delights.

In Noosa, I fell for the coastal charm and had the biggest crush on my broad-shouldered Aussie surf instructor. Those Aussies really know how to ride the waves! I learnt the art of surf mud, it is how they save their skin from the equator's UV rays.
