It’s been quite the busy couple days in the land down under. I’ve been all over the place, from surfing to bridge climbing to bar tours, bike tours and concerts. Experiencing everything that makes Sydney special has been the goal, and I can now see why the “Best Jobs” job as a Chief Funster is... Continue Reading →
I think I am finally getting over the jetlag. I always think that I am superwomen and will beat the jetlag… but it never happens.

Over the last month I have been closely following the "Best Jobs in the World" contest offered by Tourism Australia. I have been extremely impressed by the quality of work by each of the competitors.
