about the blog
I’m an American currently living in Sydney, Australia because I married an Aussie who was homesick. Now I’m homesick.
But what a place to be homesick.
I’ve been living in Oz since 2004 – working briefly, then studying medicine, and now working as a doctor. And in living and studying overseas, I’m constantly forced to reconsider myself, my country, the world, and of course, human behavior.
The header image is a photo of the flower girls and boys at a family wedding in rural South Africa. I think it says a lot about humans.
Good to find other Yanks in Sydney. Stumbled upon Jacarandas and now it’s nice to know what those purple trees are. WordPress is such an educational tool. Have you visited the American Club? I joined a few of their monthly mixers. They are every first Firday of each month at the American Club on Macquarie Street.
Oh there are plenty of Yanks in Sydney, but they’re not concentrated anywhere in particular. I haven’t joined any of the American societies and clubs. The longer you live here, the more of us you find coming out of the woodwork. There are two at my job and one in my apartment building, and I’ve just met another through a friend. I’m loosely affiliated with one of the US political parties abroad and so know a few more Americans through that. How are the American Club mixers?
The internet is insane. I’ve actually made new friends back home in the States through various online activities.
