Bondi Beach RAdio
Started my day with an “interview” at Bondi Beach Radio as a volunteer because I cannot work at the moment.
Met my old friend Manisha at Gusto. As an old tradition I had coffee and their lovely homemade granola, greek yogurt, fresh berries and rhubarb. All we could talk about are when Hanie & Jasmin lived in Australia, the three of us ALWAYS went and sat at the bar at Gusto and had this exact same granola and coffee. Miss those moments…
Recommendation: If you want the best granola, go to Gusto at Bondi beach! Nobody makes it better.How absolutely stunning are these! With a transparent long skirt…..Mama Mia!Came home late in the afternoon with groceries from my favorite shop in Australia and another big recommendation ; Harris Farm Market. I made a red Thai curry for dinner.
You need:
Coconut Cream
Red Curry Paste
Yellow onions
Carrots
Zucchini
Mushrooms
Bamboo shots
Lychees
Pineapple

My birthday surprise trip part II
Sun in my face 🙂
 Huge breakfast at out AirBnB
Crazy sunsets
Siding Spring Observatory
Whitegum Lookout in Warrumbungle National ParkÂ
Here comes a hell of a lot more pictures from my birthday trip that Ambrose got me. And its a recommendation for sure. If you like nature, space, the milky way, stars and all that has to do with the Universe, planets and astronomy. This is your place to visit when in Australia. The one thing seriously missing is good food. The restaurants that were here was in this town is not even worth mentioning. Although it is just a small town so..
Okey now back to my studies! NLP here I come.

Birthday with the stars
Finally I have some pictures from my birthday surprise. Thursday morning we woke up very early and drove off to Siding Spring Observatory. I had no idea and only found out where we were going when Ambrose handed me a birthday card in the car that same morning.
If anyone is fascinated by stars and planets as I am I really recommend this place. The area is called Coonabarabran and it’s 5 1/2 hour drive from Sydney. It was a long drive, I wont lie but so damn worth it!
Here are some pictures from our stay there and I will post more tomorrow. I have a full day but I am enjoining doing this writing on a everyday basis and having the possibility to go back and look at all these wonderful experiences I have in my life. Keeps me humble and it keeps me grateful.See you tomorrow 🙂

This city by foot
This library was too beautiful !
At the ancient Chinese exhibition we practiced their calligraphic
How freaking big isn’t that spider!? And they where everywhere.
As a girl who grew up in Sweden you get pretty excited when you see a banana tree
So much amazing art. This one is Aboriginal.
Again, this damn city is pretty. So damn pretty. We woke up really early and let in the electrician who did some work in the kitchen for us. After that we went straight to have a tourist day in the city. We started with a coffee in our favorite building and then it was full on. Museums, art galleries, libraries and of course The Botanic Garden.
After many many hours we were absolutely exhausted. The humidity, noise and all the buzz in a busy city is more tiring than one imagine. Or maybe its just us hahaha, anyway we walked all the way so I could get my delicious Ramen from my favorite Ramen restaurant. Ambrose is not a fan of this place, but it is my birthday week and all so…… 🙂Now we are home cooking dinner and watching the crazy storm, its like the sky has opened up and let all its rain fall down at once! And tomorrow we are off to some adventure. I have no idea where or what, its a birthday surprise…

South Coast
Team Snorkeling at Guerilla Bay
Crazy 1 and crazy 2 decided to jump from this very very high
cliff! Like I didn’t have trouble breathing as it is already !Hiiiiii 🙂 🙂
We are back! Had a great time but the 5 h drive back with around 48 degrees (!!!) in a car where the A/C is not at its best was, well, exhausting hahaha .
Anyway, I am trying to learn to get a video of our trip up here. Think its the only way to show some of these incredibly beautiful places I had the pleasure to see during these last days.Some of us went back to our house to somehow trying to survive the heat together. So now night-swim and pizza!
Enjoy your Sunday:)_______________________________________________________

Baby Blue
Saw my first “big” spider in Randwick
At Maroubra Beach
Good Monday everyone 🙂
Both me and Ambrose love hotels, and even if we are not traveling we find any excuse to check into a hotel a weekend or a night. For me, this obsession with hotels has been going on for years. When we stayed up the coast we had way more excuses to check into a hotel. It was too far to catch a taxi back after an event in the city 🙂
Nowadays, we don’t really have the same need to stay in a hotel. Our home IS like a hotel haha.Here are some pictures from when we were in the city for some birthday or some party, dont remember, but we stayed at The Randwick Lodge http://www.sydneylodges.com/randwick-lodge/
They had just done a massive renovation and I really really liked this place. Very small but it had that classic french decor which I love. I would have stayed in most of the time at this place and just order room service, but my partner has ants in his pants so as you can see, there was not much “hanging around the room” going on.
First we visited a pet shop that had alot of birds you could play with. We had soo much fun in there. I am not used to all these animals growing up in Sweden! In the afternoon we went to Maroubra Beach to eat lunch and check out these tiny kids doing the most amazing things in the skate-park. One of the best thing being a kid is that you are fearless. I was impressed!My Monday has been dedicated to learning. I would like to start putting up some videos. I think its easier to “experience” and get the real feel of things from a video than just text and pictures. We see how it goes!

Luna Park
 There were also a big snake, I touched them all! Fearless 🙂
I totally forgot this! Last week we were driving around and somehow ended up at Luna Park. The place itself if perhaps not the most exciting theme park as most role coasters are small BUT we as we entered there was hundreds of Asians arriving as well, must have been some company even thing going on. They had film crew’s running around, fantasy caterers on stilt’s, exotic animals to pet. We had such a good time! Look at us as sexy dwarfs 🙂
We also had a look inside the Olympic Pool, located just by the water, Luna park and the Harbour Bridge. Isn’t it spectacular!? Cant wait until I get to swim there.
The reason why you get old exciting stories is because I have been sick for a while now. Not only my neck but now also a have been coughing for 2 weeks and I have a tight chest (sounds like I’m dying haha). Finally today I got my shit together and went to organize my Medicare Card. This is a card you will need in order to go to the Dr over here. Don’t be like me, a procrastinator, get it straight away. If you are from certain countries, Sweden being one of them, you will get free medicare here in Australia. I just found that out. I absolutely love Sweden for that. So grateful to have a background from such a well established county that takes care of its people.

Legolas hair
Fresh out from the hairdresser! I had an appointment today for a balayage and like always I closed the place. We (me and my hairdresser Jasmine) started at 12:30 am and finished at 4:30 am. I am absolutely exhausted, cant even imagine how she feels.
Going from dark to light is always a long process so I am used to it by now. My recommendation for anyone of you who want this is to – research and get a experienced hairdresser, look at pictures of their “work”. – ask them to use OLAPLEX. It cost way more but my God its worth it. She works at “Envy by Jodi & Susi” in Caringbah.
Make appointments at: (02) 9531 2767 or https://www.facebook.com/Envybyjosieandsusie/Its very “ashy”. Jasmin did her best to strip off all the natural yellow/orange that I had in my hair, which has got even worst due to all the sun, saltwater and chlorine exposure my hair had. I look now something between Legolas and Khaleesi and I love it. Great work Jasmin!
Now I am going to spend the rest of my night (and the rest of my life:) ) with Ambrose. I had a very draining day, to say the least , and I walked in my beautiful apartment with him giving me flowers, a glass of red and he is preparing my favorite food. My other recommendation is to make sure you spend your life with someone like this.
Goodnight ♡
