My Month in Australia [VIDEO]

Love, Melbourne
When we first started planning Australia, we originally thought we might just visit Sydney. We received some strong recommendations to visit Melbourne, and I’m so glad we did. The two cities are so very different. I liked Sydney, but it wasn’t anything special for me…
