Pancakes on the Rocks (Sydney) – Yay or Nay?
Food, Real Life, Travel

Matt and I are rather conscientious eaters, even while on vacation. However, sometimes, especially while traveling, a meal of complete indulgence is necessary. That’s why we decided to try out Pancakes on the Rocks in Sydney.  Our Saturday was planned to check out the Rocks Market (which by the way is really fun!), so we […]

Manley Beach & Bondi Beach in 1 Day
Real Life, Travel

As a harbor town, tou can’t be in Sydney and not go to the beaches, right? Right. Well, my family isn’t always the most athletic bunch, nor were any of us really hyped up about going to the beach in the winter. However! We couldn’t NOT go, so we decided to two-for-one it and do […]

Day Trip to the Blue Mountains Without a Tour
Real Life, Travel

When we were booking our excursions for this trip, as I’ve said a few times, I was sort of the game-maker, so to speak. I was researching the tours, sending ideas to my family, budgeting, and booking everything. We had a TON of things we wanted to do and see, and one of the day […]

Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tour Review
Food, Real Life, Travel

Another of the “not to miss” day trips from Sydney that was recommended to us was to visit the Hunter Valley for a wine tour.  If you know my family, you KNOW that we love wine. Spoiler alert, but that’s basically the reason that there are *no* photos from this entire day. Knowing how many […]

Visiting Google Sydney!
Real Life, Travel

Bonus and I are excellent at making random global friends. It’s sort of what we do everywhere. Aside from the excellent addition of having people to hang out with and learn from when we meet these new friends, sometimes we get to visit them when they’re in their hometowns too! When we realized that we […]

I’m Free! Tours in Sydney Review
Real Life, Travel

Arriving not only in a new country, but in a new city at 6am is both exhausting and exhilarating. It means you’ve survived the dreaded redeye flight and have an entire day ahead of you to explore your new surroundings. For my family and I, that meant that I booked us on not one, but […]

Newark to Sydney on United (First Class w/ LAX Layover)
Real Life, Travel

“We flying the first class up in the sky, poppin’ champagne & livin’ my life in the fast lane and I won’t change…” No, really though. I’d been keeping an eye on the flights and points pricing for this trip for mom, Matt and I since I had been in charge of all of the […]

“First thing’s first, I’m the realest – Drop this and let the whole world feel it.”
About DokiDara, Travel

  I’ve been procrastinating on getting started with this because I think it is just going to be so incredibly difficult to blog everything that happened on my trip. I was gone for four weeks in almost the complete opposite timezone from my home, in three different countries and in over six different cities. So […]
