Chapter 20
Back to big city life
Before we left, we’d talked about how great it would be to spend the Australian summer living in Sydney. So on January 1st, 2025, we waved goodbye to life on the road and said hello to the city again. Our backs were especially happy to finally sleep in a real bed.
The whole month of January was a chance to refuel – with amazing food, great coffee, and delicious beer. Our cultural appetite got a boost too, with a Lunar New Year performance at the Sydney Opera House, an open-air screening of Dirty Dancing, and an outdoor concert by the Sydney Opera Orchestra.
We also got moving again, trying out some epic hikes close to the city. Some days were all sunshine and swims, others brought rain and storms. Daniel got to tick off a big dream: seeing the Australian Open live in Melbourne. An unforgettable experience.
January was a really great month.
