Needing a hit of the exotic? I have one word for y Needing a hit of the exotic? I have one word for you: Marrakech. Morocco’s fabled desert city, a place of spice-scented souks and secret gardens, where the unexpected waits around every corner. That’s the destination for the latest episode of the Walk the World podcast, out now. Have a listen.
I’ll be honest: the first time I went to Copenha I’ll be honest: the first time I went to Copenhagen, it was to eat. It was the height of the Noma-driven Nordic food boom, and I was looking forward to eating my way through the Danish capital. And yes, I had some amazing meals - but I also discovered a city that won my heart. For me, Copenhagen ticks all the boxes, from contemporary architecture to a walkable centre. So it was a natural choice to kick off my third series of Walk The World, available now wherever you get your podcasts.
There are meals that you spend days looking forwar There are meals that you spend days looking forward to. Then there are meals that come as a complete surprise. Lunch at @mimosa_wines, on the Tathra-Bermagui Road, definitely fell into the latter category. The gorgeous bush setting was the first surprise: the hand-made pasta was the second. But the biggest revelation was the desserts, which included this meringue with almond pannacotta and an amazing feijoa sorbet, and a reinvented lamington made with 67 per cent chocolate, blood orange and coriander seeds. Turns out the pastry chef worked at two of my favourite Berlin restaurants: the Michelin-starred Coda and Tim Raue. What a Sapphire Coast gem.
So many shades of blue - no wonder they call it th So many shades of blue - no wonder they call it the Sapphire Coast. Delighted to be back here, and to find that while some things have changed - getting here is easier than ever before, thanks to the new Qantas flights from Sydney - much hasn’t. That includes not just the stunning waterways, but also the magnificent bush. Set out on a hike today through Mimosa Rocks National Park with @sapphirecoastguidingco that had it all: bush walking, beach walking, amazing views and plenty of wildlife, from king parrots to yellow-tailed black cockatoos.
Quick, take a guess: where was this photo taken. T Quick, take a guess: where was this photo taken. Tahiti? Fiji? The Maldives? The surprising answer is: Sydney. Welcome to one of the secret spots in Sydney Harbour that you can visit aboard @mysydneyboat. It’s just one of the VIP travel experiences that will help lift your Sydney staycation to the next level (link in bio).
Germans do it differently. Christmas, that is. Gro Germans do it differently. Christmas, that is. Growing up in Australia, my friends were forever amazed by the way we celebrated Christmas. The fresh-from-the-oven biscuits like Zimtsterne and Vanillekipferl, filling the house with scents of cinnamon and vanilla. The fact that our celebrations stretched for four weeks. The Christmas trout. Read more about it over at Tonic mag (link in bio).📷 Jennifer Pallian
