I'm Free Walking Tour of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
I’ve always been told nothing in life is free. And that is still technically true for the “I’m Free” tours. However, it is a pretty neat concept, in my opinion.

Our friends from Poland had suggested we do it, and they also said they had done tours similar to this in Europe. (As far as I know, there isn’t anything like this in the U.S., though.) So, on your next trip, try searching for this type of tour - it’s a great idea!

A Week in Sydney Australia

To be honest, I spent a week in Sydney, but a few things I was repeating almost every single day: a coastal early morning walk and breakfast in the Three Blue Ducks.
