Sydney-Australia Day!

We landed in Sydney on the 1st July 2015, it was the beginning of our Australian adventure and we couldn’t be more excited, and at the same time we couldn’t be more broke. ‘Brexit’ had caused the GPB to plummet in value, we’d been travelling for 10 months and had bled our wallets dry. We…
