What are the Melbourne’s hidden gems?

You are planning your next stay in Melbourne, Australia and you want a little bit of help because:

• You do not have a lot of time to spend on the organisation

• You do not want to miss out some of the hidden gems that only the locals know about
  

I want to use my ever-growing passion for this city to help you to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Melbourne has been named world’s most liveable city by the Economist Group. You will find in this website the reasons I think this city is the best place in the world to live.

Of course, you will also find some photos I took of my beloved city and its surroundings.

Melbourne Passion

I am not originally from Australia. For the first few years when I arrived here, I spent every opportunity I had to travel around Australia and most especially in Victoria.

• I tried a huge range of accommodation from camping through holiday rentals to luxury resorts.
• I explored Melbourne and its surrounding by foot, by car, by train and by air.
• I enjoyed the incredible variety of bush walking
• I met many of Australian native animals in the wild.
• I also learned to appreciate many local sport events. I became a real fan of the AFL Aussie-rules Football and went many times to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to support my team. 
• I even decided to buy a property in one of the lovely suburbs.
  

As you have probably guessed: it was love at first sight. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t leave this city any more. So I decided to live permanently there.

Today I sill travel a lot because I love it. I also keep trying new restaurants and places. The only thing that changed is I call Melbourne home now.
