There’s nothing like a fresh pair of eyes to show you a new way of seeing a city. And that’s exactly what Isabelle brought with her when she moved to Sydney from London in 2023. Looking at the city through the lens of both a traveller and a local, Isabelle, a writer on arts and culture for more than three years, knows the best way to spend time in Sydney. Covering everything from hidden ocean pools and vintage markets to gallery openings and the best new bars, Isabelle writes from firsthand experience.
