Well hello there,
I’m Amanda, a travel journalist, copywriter and author of the two books in the happy snap below with Vincent Rommelaere from Australia Unseen.
I’m looking forward to meeting like minded Bluesky peeps and sharing travel updates and tales with the occasional cat photo.

Restaurant with a view! The old MCA cafe in Sydney is now Canvas where just like the artworks change in the galleries, the chefs will change every six months too. My first Canvas lunch was with Josh Raine, former Tetsuya’s Executive Chef and oh yes, it was a good one.

Just when I thought I had bought my last souvenir in Japan this Hello Kitty in a JAL uniform was on my Oita to Tokyo flight. How could I resist? (I could not) She now sits in my office as I write stories about Japan and other travels and is an excellent writing buddy.

Lots of pretty rocks and crystals and a friendly dinosaur had me smiling at Glen Innes’ Minerama festival today. Some events have had to be cancelled due to weather but the Showground was still a great place to be.

Happy Mardi Gras Sydney! There’s nothing like the Mardi Gras parade which I first marched in back in 1998 and then again a few times after I returned from my London years. This time I’ll be watching and cheering before heading to the party. See you under a disco ball.

Unexpected Sydney fun and flashbacks to jumping on the back of routemaster buses in my ‘90s London years as we travelled from The Langham to Notting Hill movie night at Mov'in Bed. Thank you Visit Britain for a night that put the biggest smile on my face.

Last night we were invited to be the first to try cocktails at Cellar & Barrel, Sheraton Fiji’s new speakeasy style bar that opens next week. And I can happily report they are oh so good, and every one has a great backstory too.
