Welcome! We are Alisha and Blesson
Content creators based in Sydney, on a mission to help you make the most of your weekends and short holidays to explore Australia even if you’re working full time!
We met while studying at university in India in 2012, moved to Melbourne for our Masters, and then to Sydney for our jobs over 5 years ago! We love playing tourist in our city and maximizing our annual leave to explore the best of Sydney and Australia, all while traveling savvy to help our money go further! From waterfalls, snowy mountains, white sand beaches, caves, and everything in between, we share a local’s perspective on New South Wales and help you spend less time planning and more time exploring!
