Mum and Dad came over from Melbourne to visit me for a short stay. This is the first time they’d come back to SF since my graduation from Berkeley, so it was great to show them around my new digs. While I was busy during the week with work, I planned a weekend trip, Read More
Here are some photos that I’ve taken around the Bay Area recently… A gorgeous dawn from my bedroom window. One of my recent additional responsibilities at work has been to organise the Consultant Offeree Weekend. One of the events we held was lunch and a cruise around the bay.

Together with Virginia, a friend from work, we decided one sunny weekend to rent bikes and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to Tiburon in Marin County. The route took us past the Marina and Crissy Field, up and over the bridge, past Sausalito, and then along the bay around to Tiburon. We had, Read More

We started walking from my apartment in North Beach, and it was a good hike to the bridge, Read More
For the second and final year of b-school, I made the decision to move from East Bay into San Francisco. I started looking around with my friend Duncan Clendenin from school, but we couldn’t find any good two bedroom place for less than $2,500/month – well and truly out of our price range! We, Read More
