Last weekend, I moved into a new apartment and neighborhood. I love moving. Every area of inner Sydney has its own character and charm, and before I’m done, I want to tick off the busy beaches and acai bowls of the east, the laid-back beaches and spaciousness of the north, and the coffee and boutique brews of the inner west.
