If you ever find yourself in Sydney, Australia there is one thing you must do during your time there. You need to put on some comfortable shoes, grab a water bottle and your favorite photography utensil and do the famous coastal walk that goes from North Bondi to Coogee.

It's is a 3 mile (6 km) walk where you are right next to the Pacific Ocean. The footpath is right by the rocks giving you various chances to climb on them and take some beautiful photographs. I went a few hours before sundown and I was able to marvel at the colorful skies. 

Something amazing about this coastal walk is that you have opportunities to enter pools ( like swimming pools ) that are salt water because they are right beside the ocean, with waves constantly crashing into it, allowing you to experience the ocean in a safe environment and away from the strong waves and dangerous currents.  

My next adventure has begun. I will be visiting the not small island of Australia. It is a bit odd, after two summers in Japan I am going to Australia (it is kinda close to Japan…kinda). It is even odder that I have to pack autumn/winter clothes instead of summer clothes (btw it is always opposite day in Australia).

I will be staying in Sydney, which turns out to NOT be the capital of Australia…(it is Canberra) for an entire month. I know I know, Sydney doesn’t count as all of Australia, but my university student lifestyle and budget can only allow for so much, plus I have some super friends in Sydney that will keep me from feeling lonely in a new place.
