Martin Carrico Spends a Year in Sydney Australia

Martin Carrico Sydney Australia

I'm fortunate enough to have dual citizenship in Australia, and shortly after a distant relative passed back in the late 1980's, the family hopped on a Qantas flight to Sydney for a 2 weeks stay in North Sydney, near the famous 'Luna Park'.

The difference between this vacation and others prior, was that I ended up staying in New South Wales for almost a year, enjoying all that Sydney had to offer.

Our condo upon arrival was right on the edge of the water overlooking the Harbour Bridge with a panoramic view of Circular Quay, the Opera House, and the picturesque skyline of downtown Sydney.

Sydney is San Francisco's 'sister' city, with sparkling waters, and a vast ferry system that transports residents and tourists all over the sprawling city.

There are many ways to have fun in Sydney, and taking the trip to the boardwalk on Manly Beach on the Hydrofoil should definitely be on the top of your list.

Martin Carrico in Recife’, Brazil

Such an amazing city. I visited Recife many times while working as a Chief Steward aboard the MV Sea Wolf for Crowley American Transport.

Recife is a mysterious, and intoxicating city and probably my favorite place, and most memorable experience in my travels. The women are incredible, the food delicious, and the beaches pristine.

I visited Recife 4 times while working on the Sea Wolf over the course of a 160 day contract. Immediately after a quick stop back in California after my stint was finished, I hopped a plane for Sao Paulo and went back for an unforgettable 8 week stay.
