Aisle, easier to get up and down and out if need be!
Crown and Anchor English Pub in Algiers Point!
At home it would be biking around our beloved neighborhood Algiers Point, stopping to listen to some live local music, then finishing the day off with a cocktail on our porch listening to some vinyl. On vacation it would be exploring a quiet town with my wife Penelope and stopping into a local spot to enjoy an afternoon meal and drink while hopefully making some new friends.
Flexibility and Patience! A good hat is also a must!
To be open to new experiences and to get out and explore each neighborhood to find which one best fits you, I guarantee one does.
Australia and New Zealand are top of my list!
As Jennifer, our CEO says, the ability to do "good work with good people". Making new friends while sharing the beauty and wonder of a unique experience is a pretty good way to spend your time.
