Spice Alley
Bucket list item #2811 Spice Alley Sydney, Australia Why yes, that is me stuffing my face with dumplings. Why yes, they were certainly delicious! That’s the magic of Spice Alley: everything is delicious. You don’t know what Spice Alley is? Let me indulge you. Spice Alley is, as the name says, a little alley in Sydney filled with a diverse array of Asian cuisines ranging from Singaporean to Indian to Malaysian. There are all sorts of Asian choices. So much so that it’s overwhelming. I went with a group of friends and the amount of time it took us to decide what to eat was a little painful. This place…

Bucket list item # 2810 eat at Hubert Sydney, Australia Every once in a while, I throw in the towel and put zero effort into taking photos of a bucket list check. Sorry, guys!

To be fair, I’ve checked 119 things off my bucket list thus far, so I’m batting at a ridiculously high average. My friend Jess was nice enough to escort me to Homebush, which is where the former Olympic housing…

Symbio Wildlife Park
Most of the things I do on vacation are carefully curated bucket list checks. Ya’ll know about my extensive bucket list and how obsessive I am with it. This was not one of them. This was a suggestion from friends because all I really wanted to do was pet kangaroos and this experience DELIVERED. Symbio Wildlife Park is one of those Sydney experiences that needs to be added to your bucket list. It’s a small wildlife park with a moderate number of animals, but what you get in exchange (rather than at a zoo) is a more intimate experience. The education shows are small and intimate and offer opportunities to…
