Why I Love Sydney, Australia

Image
I moved to Australia with my family about 7 years ago. I was born raised in Venezuela til I was 10 years old. The situation in my home country is very bad at the moment. There is no security, a lot of violence, shortages of food, water, electricity, and more. In addition, Caracas (the capital city) is ranked number 1 as The Most Violent City in the World, with a murder rate of almost 120 per 100,000 population, and my home town rated at 72 per 100,000 (rank 7). I'm grateful to live in a secure, developed, and welcoming country like Australia. Here are reasons why I love Sydney, Australia: 1. Cultu re - Australia has it all. From countries all over Europe, Asia, Oceania, Americas, etc. The food especially. That's what makes Australia so exciting! you find a Thai restaurant somewhere, and right around the corner there could be a Spanish, Italian, Turkish, or Arabic restaurant! This is why I refer to Australia as a mini earth, because you could visit another country by just cr...

There are only 2 types of people in the world. The ones who drink coffee or the ones that drink tea. Well, You guessed it! I am definitely a coffee person. I love coffee! I love how it taste, I love the whole ritual around drinking coffee, whether brewing it myself or just sitting in a coffee house with a nice hot cup of coffee catching up with a friend.

Why I Love Cooking

My interest in cooking sparked when I started to live independently as a university student. To be honest, I never had much affinity to cooking or making something complicated from scratch. The most I ever cook was the infamously instant noodles through microwave if that was even considered cooking. Today, I have learned and critiqued my own dishes that I made and its really something now compared to back then where stir fry was more of like being boiled LOL. Not to mention the countless times where I cut myself and puzzled on how to actually even prepare and dice a chicken. Most of my recipes come from my mom and my on research from the Internet. Trust me; if you are ever puzzled on how to cook something, Internet's a great place 😁. I can cook quite a handful of Malaysian dishes with my own twist to my taste, a few Jap dishes, pizza and pasta as well as making cookies too 😆. I love cooking as I am a huge FOODIE. I love eating good and tasty food whilst being...
