During our short trip to Seattle last year I got the chance to meet some of the locals who were quirky and vibrant. It was nice to see how the people of Seattle shared the same love and passion for their food, coffee and art as we do here in Melbourne. Seattle had a real […]

After spending seven days in Hong Kong earlier this year I thought I’d share what I managed to see in my short time being stuck there while I was having my Visa sorted to get back into China. Not knowing anyone in Hong Kong made things a bit harder when it came to deciding how […]

View this post on Instagram I never seem to catch a bright blue sky here in Dongguan China. I miss my bright blue sky in Docklands. #stillinchina #cominghomesoon A post shared by Emilia Rossi (@emiliarossi) on Apr 28, 2017 at 5:33am PDT Working in China was not what I expected and in this post, I […]

I couldn’t resist the temptation of visiting Hong Kong while I was in China doing some consulting work for a new client last month. Hong Kong is considered part of China but they have their own currency and border control. It took an hour by car to reach the border from where I was in China. I […]

There is nothing better than smelling someone walking past with a unique scent. It was exciting to have the chance to see in person what a perfume bar in Dubai looked like. Unique scents lingered in the air and glass shelves, displaying expensive bottles of different coloured perfume oils, lined the walls of this fragrance […]

Last month I celebrated my birthday with family in Canberra. Tucked away in a remote countryside area, about 30 minutes drive from the city of Canberra, is a gorgeous place known as Poachers Pantry. Poachers Pantry provided the perfect backdrop for a chilly and cold Canberra day. The country house is an intimate and cosy dining space to […]

Easter weekends are perfect for taking time off and doing something you like. I took a day off and drove with friends to Daylesford. I heard about the place through a friend and it only took my an hour and a bit from Melbourne to get there. I was excited to visit their famous Farmers Markets. Held on the […]

I find small decorative works of art incredibly beautiful and recently discovered Benjarong Pottery. If you have a chance to travel to Thailand make sure you make the effort to see and touch this pottery in person. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. I was instantly attracted to this style of pottery. These decorated, delicate porcelain […]

1. Buy a travel wallet. One of the things that I can’t stand when I’m travelling is not being organised! So when it comes to all the airplane tickets and passports, it’s nice to have them all in one wallet to avoid losing them and to keep them in good condition. It also makes things […]

This blog post is a follow up from a previous post about the holiday I took to Phuket. The spectacular FantaSea show was one of the highlights of the trip. I hope you don’t mind the many photos and videos I will include in this post. Hopefully they give you an idea just how amazing this […]

Stepping into one of the most famous opera houses in the world was like going back in time to the 1900s, I somehow felt out of place for not wearing an elaborate corseted gown. If you ever find yourself in the city of love, visiting the Palais Garnier is a must.   The Palais Garnier (also […]

I was lucky enough to enjoy a short trip to Phuket and thought it would be perfect to write a blog post about one of the many highlights of the trip. My first recommendation is to take a day trip to Coral Island. It will cost you approximately $35 AUD per person for a full day […]

This is an account from my brother who especially travelled to Abu Dhabi to visit Ferrari World. One of his highlights of Ferrari World was the Formula Rossa roller coaster.  With a top speed of 240kms/h and an impressive acceleration of 0-100km in under 2 seconds. This is the fastest roller coaster in the world! For […]
