Adelaide, Sydney, New York and back to Adelaide in the span of 20-plus years. I left alone to live in a share house in Sydney, a young, green journalist on a weekly wage that barely covered rent and bills. I returned to Adelaide from New York with an American husband and two children in tow.

Still a journalist, albeit freelance now, and with a bunch of jobs in between: all revolving around words and relationships. Corporate comms, marketing, business development, project management – same, same but different.

I still have the husband and the children and a dog but life in Adelaide is a whole lot different to New York. And New York is a whole lot different now, to the city I lived in.

The blog is still here too, though posts are irregular and I discovered you can’t rant as freely in Adelaide without upsetting people. So I try to keep it upbeat, a personal journal of record written as cryptically as I can muster to fly under the radar.
